I have only started watching clips of UFC this
year. McGregor and the spotlight he is receiving was exciting to watch. I was
thinking about picking up martial arts next year when I have more free time,
perhaps learn a couple of moves.
A good friend suggested Jiu Jitsu, as he was deep
into it, jokingly saying we should compete someday. I said “jokingly” not only
because he has been at it for years, but also because he was much bigger than
me.
In watching all the martial arts competitions,
there always were tiers, weight divisions for competitors. I am sure there are
those that can overcome height, weight and even reach simply by technique and
agility, hence the great appraisal for McGregor when he became champion of two
different weight divisions, but it was all to a certain extent.
I am not short in Korean standards, but simply
average height. I wanted to be taller, even still, but God hasn’t quite shown
me a way to get taller yet. I wanted to be bigger and faster, to be greater
among people, but as a medical student, I knew I have passed that day and age
of growth. No matter how strong I would get, there would be somebody bigger and
faster than me to outdo me.
I guess I got a bit frustrated and even angry at
God. Why did his beloved people sit at the end, watch all the others reign fury
upon the world?
Well, they story of David and Goliath was
precisely the answer to my question. God overcame such limits, such barriers
for men. The seemingly impossible was done with the help of God. I cannot say I
know all the backstory to such magnificent wonder God had shown, but just the
fact that it has been done provides enough encouragement to a man like me. God
does provide. He does help us overcome our seeming giants.
