One
of the things I enjoyed as a kid was watching cartoon & I’m sure this is on
the favourite hobbies of little children.
Walt Disney produced an animation movie titled “The lion king”. I
watched this movie over & over again until I couldn’t find the CD anymore.
One of the songs I love the most was the song titled “hakuna matata”. “Hakuna matata” is a word that stem out from
a native language in South Africa which literally means “there's is no worries” and it is akin to the English phrase "Don't worry". As a kid, I only
enjoyed the melody of the song but as advanced in age, I discovered that that
phrase was actually passing a message across.
We
live in a world that some people called ‘uncertain’ because they believe
anything can just happen even in the mist of predictions. As a result of this,
they’re filled with worry because they cannot tell what will happen the next
minute. A lot of people long for a life filled with joy, splendor & riches
but, they’re always afraid of stepping out because of the uncertain nature of
the world. So their dreams & aspiration turn into a fairy tale.
On
the other side, there are some people, who are courageous enough to take
necessary steps to become what they’ve always wanted to become. But, they get
to a crossroad & become worried. At such moments, some decide to stop or
even go back & indirectly give up to become victims of the uncertain nature
of the world. There’s another set of people that decide to release their faith
for an exceptional life but also become worried of how it will happen in this
uncertain world. They have forgotten that
their life is not at the mercy of the world they live in.
their life is not at the mercy of the world they live in.
You
don’t have to worry about anything in life. All you need to do is to do your
own part and leave the rest of the details to God. Your own part is to have a relationship
with God & live the kind of life he has preordained for you. Whether the world is uncertain or not, just
cling to the one that made the universe & you and be rest assured that you’ll
make it. Remember; you are written on
the palm of his hand. Anything can
happen to anyone but, you need to know what cannot happen to those that know their
God. Let this phrase continually resonate in you- HAKUNA MATATA (Don’t worry)
Peace!!!
