Berkat Tuhan Adalah Pasti

Baca: Mazmur 115

"memberkati orang-orang yang takut akan TUHAN, baik yang kecil maupun yang besar." (Mazmur 115:13)

Berkat adalah topik yang paling menarik dan selalu punya pusat perhatian bagi orang Kristen. Siapa pun tidak ada yang akan menolak berkat dari Tuhan karena berkat adalah sesuatu yang selalu ditunggu-tunggu dan diharapkan. Bagi orang percaya berkat Tuhan adalah sesuatu yang pasti.

Untuk mengalami berkat Tuhan pemazmur memberikan kuncinya yaitu takut akan Tuhan. Berbicara tentang berkat bukan berarti mengiring Tuhan akan terbebas dari masalah dan persoalan; bukan berarti di depan kita tidak akan ada tantangan; bukan berarti kita akan melihat langit selalu biru. Inilah yang tidak dipahami oleh banyak orang Kristen. Kita hanya menuntut berkat tetapi tidak mau mengikuti jalan Tuhan, padahal "Segala jalan TUHAN adalah kasih setia dan kebenaran bagi orang yang berpegang pada perjanjian-Nya dan peringatan-peringatan-Nya." (Mazmur 25:10).

Berkat Tuhan adalah pasti bagi orang yang takut akan Dia. Berkat Tuhan juga pasti bagi orang yang mau melakukan sesuatu bagi Tuhan atau bekerja bagi Dia. "supaya jalan-Mu dikenal di bumi, dan keselamatan-Mu di antara segala bangsa." (Mazmur 67:3). Mengapa kita harus bekerja? "Bapa-Ku bekerja sampai sekarang, maka Akupun bekerja juga." (Yohanes 5:17). Jika Bapa dan Tuhan Yesus saja bekerja sampai sekarang, masakan kita hanya berpangku tangan dan bermalas-malasan? "Karena kita ini buatan Allah, diciptakan dalam Kristus Yesus untuk melakukan pekerjaan baik, yang dipersiapkan Allah sebelumnya. Ia mau, supaya kita hidup di dalamnya." (Eesus 2:10).

Orang yang takut akan Tuhan adalah orang yang mau berjalan dalam tuntunan Tuhan. Artinya memiliki keberanian untuk tunduk sepenuhnya kepada kehendak Tuhan, apa pun keadaannya. Tuhan Yesus tunduk sepenuhnya-Nya kepada kehendak Bapa sehingga Ia berkata: "...janganlah seperti yang Kukehendaki, melainkan seperti yang Engkau kehendaki." (Matius 26:39).

Untuk menikmati berkat Tuhan tidak ada jalan lain, kita harus hidup takut akan Tuhan dan mengikuti jalan-Nya. "Beritahukanlah jalan-jalan-Mu kepadaku, ya TUHAN, tunjukkanlah itu kepadaku." (Mazmur 25:4.)

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 ...
