I never thought I would come to a point in medical school where I was actually <i>tired</i> of studying. And what makes things that much more frustrating, I&#8217;m not even really hating to study, nor am I un-excited about medical school, nor am I un-interested in the subject material. It&#8217;s just a weird sort of feeling where I&#8217;m just easily distracted from everything &#8211; whether it&#8217;s studying, playing games, reading books, or whatever.</p> <p>Yet, despite the somewhat discouraging season this seems to be, I can&#8217;t help but wonder at how God has continued to show Himself faithful. Even when I am not, even when I would rather sleep in than spend some quiet time with Him, He still remains. Psalm 65:2 says, &#8220;When we were overwhelmed by sins, You forgave our transgressions.&#8221; How awesome a promise, that if Christ is in us and we are in Him, we can live free from the shackles of our past deeds &#8211; even the past deeds of 2 minutes ago!</p> <p>So even though I&#8217;ve felt completely distracted and removed from those things about which I am most passionate, I can and will still hold fast to the Truth &#8211; that God remains constant and timeless, and His nature never changes. His love endures forever!</p> <p><i>When the laughter fails to comfort,<br/> When my heart aches, Lord are You there?<br/> When confusion is all around me<br/> And the darkness is my closest friend<br/> Still I will praise You, Jesus, praise You</i><br/></p> Mon, 30 Jan 2006 07:14:00 -0800 urn:uuid:5430228d46e2703d4e272eeb81b91dcb K-Lai http://www.k-lai.com/articles/2006/01/30/the-solid-rock Reflection
