The Phenomenon of the Unfit

It makes sense to believe that those with the most fitting credentials are able to take upon the task of which their credentials adhere to, the best, e.g.: An experienced painter with expertise in fine Baroque style can best create Baroque style masterpieces; An aged dancer who can breakdance can best perform a 1990; and a learned physicist can best derive mathematical constructs to physical phenomenon.

And although those may be true, I am obliged to say that such may not always be the case. Sometimes, there are special individuals who are unfit in credentials, fueled by sheer determination, passion, and divine providence, who create masterpieces despite their modest repertoire, lax background and experience. Most notably thought of as the phenomenon, the American ideal of the "Underdog", but that's not my main objective to address. What I want to emphasize is the fact that throughout history, even in my history, there are many times when the unfit is the one making the great masterpieces, accomplishing the dream, and leading the pack.

To me, it's so humbling and moving to acknowledge.

In other words, it is the novice and naive painter producing a masterpiece; it is the unpopular and not as seasoned breakdancer showcasing a 1990-air flair combination; it is the young college physicists that notices and is able to explain the before unexplained.

Granted, such phenomenons are far and few in between, but when it does happen, and it does happen, it just goes to further show how God purposely makes a certain individual especially made for that particular contribution - and that's something we cannot deny. In fact, that's something we just cannot even logically come to grips with. God just wants it that way, and it will happen that way, but of course will only come to happen, only if that particular individual trusts in Him and let's Him guide him or her in his or her actions.

Trust in God, know how much He loves you, and when you submit to His Will, and He will take you places farther than you or any other person can ever imagine in His great design.

Astonished, and rightfully set in place,
