Renungan Masalah : Proses Menuju Penggenapan Janji Tuhan (2)

Baca: Kejadian 41:37-45

"Lalu Firaun menyuruh menaikkan Yusuf dalam keretanya yang kedua, dan berserulah orang di hadapan Yusuf: 'Hormat!' Demikianlah Yusuf dilantik oleh Firaun menjadi kuasa atas seluruh tanah Mesir." (Kejadian 41:43)

Ketika mendapatkan mimpi-mimpi dari Tuhan, Yusuf belum memiliki gambaran yang jelas nyata bahwa tidak ada rencana Tuhan yang gagal. Melalui proses kehidupannya yang berliku-liku akhirnya Yusuf sungguh-sungguh menjadi besar, yaitu menjadi penguasa di Mesir. Sungguh luar biasa, Yusuf menjadi orang kedua di Mesir setelah Firaun. Lebih daripada itu Yusuf diberik hak dan kuasa, bahkan cincin raja dikenakan kepadanya.

Kita percaya bahwa Tuhan juga memiliki rencana khusus bagi setiap kita. Dia memiliki rancangan yang baik, masa depan yang indah dan penuh pengharapan. Dia sudah membuktikan kasihNya: berkorban, rela menderita, bahkan rela menyerahkan nyawaNya di atas kayu salib untuk kita. Semua ini dilakukanNya supaya kita beroleh pengampunan, keselamatan, kesembuhan, pemulihan, kasih karunia dan anugerah supaya kita memiliki kehidupan yang baik.

Jika kita teliti dan perhatikan lebih jauh, semua masalah dan penderitaan yang dialami oleh Yusuf sebenarnya adalah proses yang dipakai Tuhan untuk menuju pada janjiNya. Pada waktu mendapatkan janji Tuhan, Yusuf masih berada di Kanaan. Namun Tuhan memberi mimpi kepada Yusuf bahwa ia akan menjadi penguasa di Mesir. Karena itu Yusuf harus sampai ke Mesir agar menjadi penguasa di sana, meskipun cara Tuhan begitu ajaib membawa Yusuf sampai ke Mesir, yaitu melalui tindakan saudara-saudara Yusuf yang membuangnya ke sumur dan akhirnya menjualnya sebagai budak ke Mesir.

Yusuf perlu dibawa ke Mesir, karena jika hanya tinggal di rumah sangat sulit baginya untuk menjadi penguasa di Mesir. Sekalipun Yusuf menjadi budak dan semua yang dialaminya menunjukkan bahwa itu sangat tidak masuk akal, namun jika kita melihatnya dengan mata rohani kita akan tahu bahwa Yusuf sedang mendekat kepada janji dan rencanaNya. Untuk membawa kita kepada penggenapan janji dan rencanaNya Tuhan memakai banyak cara, bahkan melalui masalah dan penderitaan.

Karena itu jangan tawar hati dan takut jika sedang dilanda masalah!

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 ...
