Renungan Merencanakan Masa Depan

Baca: Kejadian 41:46-57

"maka Yusuf mengumpulkan segala bahan makanan ketujuh tahun kelimpahan yang ada di tanah Mesir, lalu disimpannya di kota-kota; hasil daerah sekitar tiap-tiap kota disimpan di dalam kota itu.” (Kejadian 41:48)

Setiap orang pasti memiliki ribuan angan atau rencana untuk masa depannya: pekerjaan mapan, keluarga bahagia, punya kendaraan dan rumah tinggal yang layak dan sebagainya. Tidak peduli apakah akan terwujud atau tidak, yang penting harus berusaha terlebih dahulu dan merencanakan segala sesuatunya sebaik mungkin.

Apabila kita tidak mempunyai rencana, bagaimana kita akan tau kapan kita berhasil? Tanpa ada sasaran atau target di kepala kita, bagaimana mungkin kita tahu bahwa kita sedang melangkah ke arah yang tepat atau benar? Selagi kita dianugerahi kesehatan yang baik dari Tuhan berarti kita juga memiliki kesempatan untuk berusaha dan bekerja. Jangan pernah bermalas-malasan atau menyia-nyiakan waktu yang ada untuk hal-hal yang tidak berguna. Dikatakan: "Pada musim dingin si pemalas tidak membajak; jikalau ia mencari pada musim menuai, maka tidak ada apa-apa." (Amsal 20:4).Maka kita harus hidup dengan persiapan dan perencanaan yang baik, agar kita tidak terpuruk dan siap terhadap kemungkinan terburuk yang akan terjadi.

Yusuf adalah contoh orang yang memiliki perencanaan yang baik dalam hidupnya. Ketika ia dipercaya menjadi penguasa Mesir seperti dikatakan Firaun kepadanya, "Engkaulah menjadi kuasa atas istanaku, dan kepada perintahmu seluruh rakyatku akan taat; hanya takhta inilah kelebihanku dari padamu.... Dengan ini aku melantik engkau menjadi kuasa atas seluruh tanah Mesir." (Kejadian 41:40-41), Yusuf mengerjakan tugas dan tanggung jawab yang dipercayakan dengan hikmat yang luar biasa, karena Roh Tuhan menyertainya. Ia memerintahkan rakyat Mesir mempersiapkan diri menyongsong kelaparan yang akan terjadi. Selama tahun-tahun kelimpahan ia mengumpulkan semua kelebihan dan menyimpannya untuk persediaan kelak. "Demikianlah Yusuf menimbun gandum seperti pasir di laut, sangat banyak, sehingga orang berhenti menghitungnya, karena memang tidak terhitung." (Kejadian 41:49).

Ketika kelaparan hebat terjadi 7 tahun, di Mesir ada persediaan makanan melimpah.

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 ...
