Abraham : Di Panggil Untuk Menjadi Berkat (2)

Baca: Kejadian 12:10-20

"...Abram mendapat kambing domba, lembu sapi, keledai jantan, budak laki-laki dan perempuan, keledai betina dan unta." (Kejadian 12:16)

Ketika mengadakan perjanjian dengan Abraham, Tuhan memberikan janji-janji kepadanya: menjadikannya bangsa yang besar, memberkati dan menjadi berkat. Untuk menerima kepenuhan janji Tuhan ini yang diperlukan bukan hanya iman, tapi Abraham dituntut untuk hidup dalam ketaatan dan menyenangkan hatiNya. Abraham menanggapi janji Tuhan itu dengan iman, percaya dan juga ketaatan. Itulah sebabnya Abraham dibenarkan oleh Tuhan. Ini menunjukkan bahwa Tuhan memiliki rencana di balik perjanjian berkatNya dengan Abraham seperti tertulis: "Sebab Aku ini mengetahui rancangan-rancangan apa yang ada pada-Ku mengenai kamu, demikianlah firman TUHAN, yaitu rancangan damai sejahtera dan bukan rancangan kecelakaan, untuk memberikan kepadamu hari depan yang penuh harapan." (Yeremia 29:11).

Setiap kita pasti rindu diberkati Tuhan, bukan? Supaya berkat Tuhan itu digenapi dalam hidup kita, kita harus mengerti terlebih dahulu apa yang menjadi kehendak dan rencana Tuhan memberkati kita. Tanpa memiliki pengertian yang benar akan hal ini bisa-bisa berkat yang kita terima tersebut malah akan membuat kita jatuh dalam dosa dan semakin jauh dari Tuhan. Sebesar apa pun kerinduan kita untuk menjadi berkat bagi orang lain, sebesar itu pula berkat yang akan Tuhan percayakan kepada kita. Jadi Tuhan akan memberkati kita jika kita benar-benar telah siap untuk menjadi berkat. "Siapa banyak memberi berkat, diberi kelimpahan, siapa memberi minum, ia sendiri akan diberi minum." (Amsal 11:25).

Berkat Tuhan juga tidak pernah terpengaruh oleh situasi dan keadaan yang terjadi di sekeliling hidup kita. Mungkin saat ini dunia sedang dilanda krisis di segala bidang kehidupan dunia, namun satu hal yang harus kita tanamkan dalam hati adalah bahwa tidak ada krisis yang terlalu besar yang tidak dikendalikan oleh Tuhan, tidak ada badai kehidupan yang tidak dapat diredakanNya. Seberat apa pun krisis masalah yang menerpa hari-hari kita, Tuhan lebih dari sanggup untuk memberkati kita. Sekali Tuhan berjanji, Dia pasti akan menggenapi janjiNya itu tepat pada waktunya.

"Allahku akan memenuhi segala keperluanmu menurut kekayaan dan kemuliaan-Nya dalam Kristus Yesus." (Filipi 4:19).

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 ...
