Saat Teduh : Wujud Disiplin Rohani

Baca: Lukas 22:39-46 

"Lalu pergilah Yesus ke luar kota dan sebagaimana biasa Ia menuju Bukit Zaitun." (Lukas 22:39a)

Berapa lama saudara selalu menyediakan waktu secara rutin untuk bersekutu dengan Tuhan (berdoa) setiap harinya? Ada yang menjawab, "Saya selalu berdoa selama 1 jam di pagi hari sebelum melakukan aktivitas apa pun."; "Saya tidak sempat berdoa karena harus buru-buru berangkat ke kantor, tapi pada malam hari sebelum tidur saya sempatkan berdoa sebentar selama 15 menit."; "Maaf saya tidak ada waktu untuk berdoa, seharian harus menjaga toko, pulang ke rumah sudah sangat capai dan mengatuk."; dan sebagainya.

Adalah tidak mudah membiasakan diri untuk berdoa secara kontinyu. Banyak sekali tantangan dan godaannya. Seringkali kita mengemukakan alasan-alasan atau dalih untuk membela diri karena kita tidak mau bila disebut sebagai orang Kristen yang malas berdoa. Padahal kenyataannya kita memang jarang berdoa dan tidak memiliki kedisiplinan untuk berdoa. Ayat nas di atas jelas menyatakan bahwa Yesus selalu menyediakan waktu untu berdoa. Kata 'sebagaimana biasa' menunjukkan suatu tindakan yang dilakukan secara berulang-ulang atau rutin. Jadi Yesus selalu menyediakan waktu secara rutin untuk berdoa. Inilah yang disebut bersaat teduh.

Saat teduh adalah waktu yang secara rutin kita sisihkan setiap hari supaya kita bisa bersekutu secara pribadi dengan Tuhan. Ketika bersaat teduh kita memberikan pujian dan penyembahan kepada Tuhan, berdoa dan juga mendengarkan Dia berbicara melalui firmanNya yang kita baca. Membiasakan diri untuk bersaat teduh setiap hari adalah tindakan bagi kita untuk membangun fondasi kehidupan rohani yang kokoh. Alkitab menyatakan, "Setiap orang yang mendengarkan perkataan-Ku ini dan melakukannya, ia sama dengan orang yang bijaksana, yang mendirikan rumahnya di atas batu." (Matius 7:24-25). Ada pun hakekat utama dari saat teduh adalah mendengar dan melakukan firman Tuhan. Tertulis bahwa "...iman timbul dari pendengaran, dan pendengaran oleh firman Kristus." (Roma 10:17). Maka dari itu kita harus menjadikan saat teduh atau waktu pribadi setiap hari bersama Tuhan sebagai prioritas utama dalam agenda harian kita. 

Bersaat teduh sangatlah penting bagi orang percaya! Sudahkah kita mempraktekkan itu?

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 ...
