Karena Urapan Dan Penyertaan Tuhan

Baca: 1 Samuel 16:14-23

"Dan setiap kali apabila roh yang dari pada Allah itu hinggap pada Saul, maka Daud mengambil kecapi dan memainkannya; Saul merasa lega dan nyaman, dan roh yang jahat itu undur dari padanya." (1 Samuel 16:23)

Saat menggembalakan domba-dombanya di padang belantara, Daud memiliki banyak waktu merenungkan banyak hal: kebaikan Tuhan, pertolongan dan juga penyertaanNya yang ajaib. Saat-saat itu pula Daud menaikkan pujian dan nyanyian syukur kepada Tuhan dengan iringan kecapi yang ia mainkan.

Berita tentang kemahiran Daud memainkan kecapi terdengar di mana-mana, bahkan sampai di istana raja Saul. Ketika Raja Saul diganggu roh jahat, orang-orangnya di istana berusaha mencari cara bagaimana supaya roh jahat itu menjauh dan tidak mengganggu sang raja. Para hamba menyarankan agar Saul segera mencari orang yang pandai memainkan kecapa supaya ia merasa nyaman. Salah satu dari mereka pun berkata, "...salah seorang anak laki-laki Isai, orang Betlehem itu, yang pandai main kecapi. Ia seorang pahlawan yang gagah perkasa, seorang prajurit, yang pandai bicara, elok perawakannya; dan TUHAN menyertai dia." (ayat 18). Akhirnya "...Demikianlah Daud sampai kepada Saul dan menjadi pelayannya. Dan setiap kali apabila roh yang dari pada Allah itu hinggap pada Saul, maka Daud mengambil kecapi dan memainkannya; Saul merasa lega dan nyaman, dan roh yang jahat itu undur dari padanya." (ayat 21a, 23).

Apa istimewanya kecapi Daud? Apakah karena kecapinya dirancang khusus dan berharga mahal? Bukan! Bukan kualitas kecapinya sehingga roh jahat pergi, tetapi tergantung siapa yang memainkannya. Daud, selain sangat ahli memainkan kecapi, kehidupannya di urapi Tuhan. Itulah kunci utama mengapa permainan kecapi Daud penuh kuasa dan mampu mengalahkan roh jahat.

Untuk mengalami kuasa dan penyertaan Tuhan seperti Daud ini tidaklah mudah. Ini adalah hasil dari keintiman Daud dengan Tuhan. Daud selalu berusaha agar hidupnya senantiasa menyenangkan hati Tuhan. Dan saat seseorang bergaul karib dengan Tuhan inilah saat Ia mengimpartasikan urapan dan kuasaNya.

Bila hidup kita dipenuhi Roh Tuhan, di mana pun kita berada, selalu membawa dampak positif!

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
