Kuasa Tuhan Tak Terukur

Baca: 1 Tawarikh 21:1-17 

"Iblis bangkit melawan orang Israel dan ia membujuk Daud untuk menghitung orang Israel." (1 Tawarikh 21:1)

Ketika mengalami masalah yang pelik banyak orang Kristen mulai ragu akan kuasa Tuhan dan mulai mengukur dan mereka-reka dengan pikiran dan logika. Lalu kita berkata, "Sanggupkah Tuhan menolongku? Apa Tuhan sanggup memulihkan dan memberkati usahaku? Mampukah Dia menyembuhkan sakitku?" Namun ingat, besar atau kecilnya kuasa Tuhan yang dinyatakan kepada kita tergantung dari seberapa besar atau kecilnya iman percaya kita kepadaNya. Ada tertulis: "Berilah dan kamu akan diberi:  suatu takaran yang baik, yang dipadatkan, yang digoncang dan yang tumpah ke luar akan dicurahkan ke dalam ribaanmu. Sebab ukuran yang kamu pakai untuk mengukur, akan diukurkan kepadamu." (Lukas 6:38).

Apa yang kita dapatkan dari Tuhan sesuai dengan apa yang kita beri kepadaNya. Umumnya, seseorang akan memberikan persembahan kepada Tuhan ketika ia dalam kondisi berkelimpahan atau sedang diberkati. Padahal firmanNya mengajar kita untuk memberi tanpa melihat situasi dan kondisi, baik sedang diberkati atau ketika kita belum diberkati hendaknya kita memberikan apa yang kita miliki kepada Tuhan dengan penuh kerelaan, tidak hanya berupa materi saja, tapi dapat juga melalui tenaga, pikiran dan waktu kita. Yang pasti, Tuhan sanggup melakukan perkara-perkara besar dan ajaib!

Berhati-hatilah dalam mengukur berkat, kuasa dan kasih Tuhan. Contoh: suatu kali Daud menyuruh Yoab untuk mencoba mengukur dan menghitung-hitung berkat Tuhan, padahal Yoab tahu benar bahwa kuasa dan kekayaan Tuhan itu tak terhitung, tak terbatas besarnya. Daud juga tetap saja menghitung kekuatan tentaranya, padahal tentara yang ia miliki itu berasal dari Tuhan, bukan dari dirinya sendiri. Tak terhitung berapa kali Daud berperang melawan musuh selalu berakhir dengan kemenangan yang gemilang. Itu semua karena pertolongan dan campur tangan Tuhan, sehingga apa yang dilakukan Daud itu membuat Tuhan menjadi marah (1 Tawarikh 21:7). Akhirnya Daud menyesal dan minta ampun kepada Tuhan. Berapa kali kita ditolong Tuhan di sepanjang hidup kita?

Jangan pernah meragukan kuasa Tuhan, apalagi sampai kita mengukur kuasa dan kesanggupan Tuhan itu dengan pikiran kita yang terbatas ini!

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 ...
