Cepat Berubah Sikap Karena Masalah

Baca: Keluaran 15:1-21

"Siapakah yang seperti Engkau, di antara para allah, ya TUHAN; siapakah seperti Engkau, mulia karena kekudusan-Mu, menakutkan karena perbuatan-Mu yang masyhur," (Keluaran 15:11)

Banyak orang Kristen beranggapan bahwa setelah mengikut Tuhan semua masalah, penderitaan, kesusahan, pencobaan, kesukaran, tantangan dan sebagainya pasti berlalu dan tidak ada lagi, sehingga ketika kembali dihadapkan pada situasi-situasi yang sulit mereka pun tidak siap; dampaknya bisa langsung ditebak: bersungut-sungut, mengomel, menyalahkan Tuhan dan akhirnya memberontak kepada Tuhan.

Rasul Paulus mengingatkan, "Pencobaan-pencobaan yang kamu alami ialah pencobaan-pencobaan biasa, yang tidak melebihi kekuatan manusia. Sebab Allah setia dan karena itu Ia tidak akan membiarkan kamu dicobai melampaui kekuatanmu. Pada waktu kamu dicobai Ia akan memberikan kepadamu jalan ke luar, sehingga kamu dapat menanggungnya." (1 Korintus 10:13).

Bangsa Israel mengalami hal yang serupa: mengalami mujizat dan pertolongan Tuhan yang ajaib. "Kereta Firaun dan pasukannya dibuang-Nya ke dalam laut; para perwiranya yang pilihan dibenamkan ke dalam Laut Teberau. Samudera raya menutupi mereka; ke air yang dalam mereka tenggelam seperti batu." (Keluaran 15:4-5). Karena memperoleh kemenangan yang gilang-gemilang mereka pun bersorak-sorai penuh sukacita memuliakan Tuhan. "TUHAN itu kekuatanku dan mazmurku, Ia telah menjadi keselamatanku. Ia Allahku, kupuji Dia, Ia Allah bapaku, kuluhurkan Dia. TUHAN itu pahlawan perang; TUHAN, itulah nama-Nya." (Keluaran 15:2-3). Mereka berpikir sisa perjalanan menuju Kanaan mulus tanpa aral. Namun setelah menempuh perjalanan ke padang gurun Syur tiga hari lamanya mereka tidak mendapatkan air sehingga kehausan, bahkan sampai di Mara mereka mendapati air yang rasanya pahit.

Bagaimana sikap bangsa Israel? Apakah tetap bisa memuji-muji Tuhan? Tidak! Dengan secepat kilat sikap mereka berubah! Mereka kembali bersungut-sungut, mengeluh dan kecewa. Mereka tidak bisa menerima keadaan itu.

Ketika masalah kembali terjadi kita seringkali begitu mudah melupakan kebesaran kuasa Tuhan!

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 ...
