Mengasihi Tuhan : Merindukan Hadiratnya (2)

Baca: Mazmur 31:20-25

"Kasihilah TUHAN, hai semua orang yang dikasihi-Nya!" (Mazmur 31:24)

Orang yang mengasihi Tuhan pasti rindu selalu dekat dengan Dia melalui doa, atau jam-jam peribadatan. Demikian pula Daud: "Betapa disenangi tempat kediaman-Mu, ya TUHAN semesta alam! Jiwaku hancur karena merindukan pelataran-pelataran TUHAN;...Sebab lebih baik satu hari di pelataran-Mu dari pada seribu hari di tempat lain; lebih baik berdiri di ambang pintu rumah Allahku dari pada diam di kemah-kemah orang fasik." (Mazmur 84:2, 3, 11).Doa adalah nafas hidup orang percaya, karena itu keintiman yang kita jalin dengan Tuhan haruslah menjadi prioritas utama dalam keseharian kita. Ingat, kekristenan bukanlah sekedar ritual agamawi, melainkan kasih yang dinyatakan ke dalam sebuah tindakan hidup karib dengan Tuhan.

Orang yang mengasihi Tuhan juga pasti mencintai firman-Nya. Ia akan bersukacita dan menikmati jam-jam pembacaan Alkitab. Banyak orang Kristen mengatakan bahwa membaca Alkitab adalah kegiatan yang membosankan, bahkan sebagai penghantar tidur! Tidaklah mengherankan jika bangku-bangku gereja banyak yang kosong di setiap ibadah pendalaman Alkitab. Banyak tulisan pemazmur yang mengindikasikan betapa ia sangat menyintai, menyukai dan menggemari firman Tuhan: "Betapa kucintai Taurat-Mu! Aku merenungkannya sepanjang hari... perintah-perintah-Mu menjadi kesukaanku... Taurat-Mu menjadi kesukaanku." (Mazmur 119:97, 143, 174).

Orang yang mengasihi Tuhan suka memuji dan menyembah Dia. Ketahuilah, pujian dan penyembahan adalah atmosfer sorgawi setiap saat. Makhluk sorgawi memuji dan menyembah Tuhan siang dan malam, namun Iblis juga mendakwa orang percaya siang dan malam (baca Wahyu 12:10). Karena itu kita tidak boleh kalah dengan Iblis!

Biarlah pujian dan penyembahan menjadi gaya hidup kita sehari-hari. Saat kita menaikkan puji-pujian bagi Tuhan, Ia akan hadir melawat kita dengan segala otoritas-Nya, sebab "...Engkaulah Yang Kudus yang bersemayam di atas puji-pujian orang Israel." (Mazmur 22:4). Mari mencontoh Daud, "Tujuh kali dalam sehari aku memuji-muji Engkau," (Mazmur 119:164).

Mengasihi Tuhan harus benar-benar terbukti melalui tindakan dan perbuatan!

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 ...
