Tuhan Siap Menopang Kita

Baca: Yesaya 30:18-26

"dan telingamu akan mendengar perkataan ini dari belakangmu: 'Inilah jalan, berjalanlah mengikutinya,' entah kamu menganan atau mengiri." (Yesaya 30:21)

Dalam menempuh perjalanan hidup ini kita seringkali dihadapkan pada ujian, tantangan dan rintangan, dan tidak bisa dipungkiri hal itu membuat kita lemah, patah semangat dan frustasi. Saat berada di situasi sulit seperti itu terkadang kita baru menyadari bahwa kehadiran Tuhan dan pimpinan-Nya sangat kita butuhkan. Melalui firman-Nya Tuhan menuntun dan memimpin langkah kita, karena "Firman-Mu itu pelita bagi kakiku dan terang bagi jalanku." (Mazmur 119:105). Firman Tuhan ibarat kompas yang memberikan arah ke mana kita harus melangkah dan berjalan.

Dalam memimpin langkah umat-Nya Tuhan tidak selalu berada di depan, terkadang Ia sepertinya meninggalkan kita, dan tidak mempedulikan kita, padahal sesungguhnya Ia berada tepat di belakang kita untuk mengawasi, mendukung dan menopang, dan bahkan menggendong kita ketika jalan yang kita tempuh itu jalan yang berkelok-kelok, tidak rata dan mungkin jalan itu tidak kita kenal. Karena itu kita tidak perlu takut dan kuatir sebab Tuhan selalu punya cara untuk memimpin kita, seperti seorang Gembala yang berjalan di depan dan kawanan domba mengikuti-Nya; tetapi terkadang juga Ia berada di belakang dan tak terlihat oleh kita.

Mengapa Tuhan perlu berada di belakang kita? Karena Tuhan lebih tahu segala hal yang ada di depan kita. Itulah sebabnya kita perlu ditopang dan didorong agar terus maju. Ketika di depan ada rintangan biasanya kita mudah sekali menjadi lemah, putus asa dan menyerah di tengah jalan, itulah sebabnya Tuhan perlu menopang dan mendorong kita. Adakalanya Tuhan perlu berada di belakang, di mana kita tidak mudah melihat-Nya, supaya kita belajar percaya dan bergantung penuh kepada Tuhan.

Tuhan mau kita belajar bergantung sepenuhnya kepada-Nya! Maksud Tuhan berada di belakang adalah hendak melatih iman kita. Relakan diri untuk dipimpin oleh Tuhan, sebab hanya Dialah yang tahu jalan mana yang harus kita tempuh.

Dari sudut mana pun Tuhan memimpin, "...Ia menuntun aku di jalan yang benar oleh karena nama-Nya." (Mazmur 23:3)

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 ...
