Gift of prophecy? Or just the plain obvious?

It's been several months now since i started JC life. Life is still hectic. No, i meant. Increasingly hectic. Funny how i actually love it more and more. It's kind of weird when i actually felt 'bad' about being so free at the start of the JC term. With council setting in and the possibility of becoming the president/vice-president, not to mention the very lovable need to start on my group's WR, i believe life would just get even more lovable and exuberant.

As i walked out of the study room today, my maid, Aladdin, was, probably just a sigh of disappointment, or relief, unlikely, quoting how her daughter, just a year younger than I, finally got into a relationship with another boy; and both of them were christians and were 16 this year.
Almost inherently, i said "They'll probably break up after 2 or 3 years. No, less than 2 years." Aladdin only gave a soft reply, "Ya, i think so too."

Almost 100 % of my oikos (people in my 'world' - not literal) did not last even a year anniversary with their so-called 'future-spouses'. Funny, how i saw that coming and how that came to be. Some lasting nearly a year while for some not even half.

This reminded me of the essence of responsibility, which i learnt through many circumstances and through a book called "I kissed dating goodbye". The book highlighted a key point which would be vital to the emotional survival of many teenagers. Or youths.

"The right thing in the wrong time is the wrong thing."

Moving on - from blind faith.

'Do not say "Why were the old days better than these?" For it is not wise to ask such questions.' - Ecclesiastes 7:10

Everything the world chases after is only but in vanity. Merely the chasing of the wind. Isn't it better to have only one handful but have tranquility than to have two handfuls and have toil? I commend the enjoyment of life, for indeed there is nothing better than eating and sleeping and being glad. Fear the Lord always and keep to His commandments. Seek His will always and ask whatever you wish and you will have your faith rewarded. For it is pointless to be faithful in the things of the ungodly and are not part of His will -such faith is called 'blind faith' - and it'll lead to nothing but more turmoil.

'If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.' John 15:7

As it is, faith not in accordance with the will of God is pointless.
