Renungan Kuasa Ilahi Tak Terbatas

Baca: 2 Raja-Raja 4:1-7

"Berkatalah perempuan itu: 'Hambamu ini tidak punya sesuatu apapun di rumah, kecuali sebuah buli-buli berisi minyak.' " (2 Raja-Raja 4:2b)

Sebelum terangkat ke sorga Elia berkata kepada Elisa, " 'Mintalah apa yang hendak kulakukan kepadamu, sebelum aku terangkat dari padamu.' Jawab Elisa: 'Biarlah kiranya aku mendapat dua bagian dari rohmu.' " (2 Raja-Raja 2:9). Elisa yang telah mendapatkan 'dua bagian' Roh nabi Elisa mengalami perubahan dalam hidup kerohaniannya. Ia memperoleh kuasa Ilahi sehingga dapat berkarya dengan heran dalam keadaan yang diperlukan.

Suatu ketika ia berjumpa dengan janda yang terlilit hutang dan keadaannya cukup gawat, sebab penagih hutang hendak mengambil dua anaknya untuk dijadikan budak bila ia tidak bisa melunasi hutang itu. Elisa hendak menolong janda itu dan menanyakan apakah ia mempunyai sesuatu di rumahnya. Namun si janda hanya mempunyai sebuah buli-buli berisi minyak. Lalu Elisa memerintahkan janda itu untuk meminta bejana-bejana kosong dari para tetangganya dan menyuruhnya masuk ke dalam kamar, menutup pintu dan menuangkan minyak yang sedikit itu ke dalam semua bejana kosong yang ada. Maka mujizat pun terjadi! Semua bejana terisi penuh oleh minyak yang sedikit itu! Berkatalah Elisa kepada janda itu, "Pergilah, juallah minyak itu, bayarlah hutangmu, dan hiduplah dari lebihnya, engkau serta anak-anakmu." (2 Raja-Raja 4:7b).

Kuasa Ilahi yang ada di dalam diri Elisa mampu mengadakan hal-hal ajaib tanpa batas. Juga ketika Elisa mengetahui ada perempuan Suneam yang kaya tapi tak mempunyai anak dan suaminya pun sudah tua, kuasa Ilahi 'dua bagian' Roh nabi yang ada pada dirinya sanggup membuat perempuan itu mempunyai anak. "Mengandunglah perempuan itu, lalu melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki pada waktu seperti itu juga, pada tahun berikutnya, seperti yang dikatakan Elisa kepadanya." (2 Raja-Raja 4:17).

Walau Elisa telah beroleh karunia kuasa Ilahi dia tetap tak menyalahgunakan karunia yang diberikan Tuhan kepadanya. Ia tetap hidup sederhana dan rendah di hadapan Tuhan. Kita pun dapat mengalami pertolongan dalam kesesakan kita apabila kita berseru kepada Tuhan memohon kuasa IlahiNya berkarya dalam hidup kita.

Tuhan mengenal dan merasakan penderitaan kita; Dia sanggup mengubah air mata menjadi kesukaan karena kuasaNya tak terbatas!

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 ...
