Renungan Tiada Yang Sebanding Dengan Kuasanya

Baca: Yesaya 40:12-31

"Jadi dengan siapa hendak kamu samakan Allah, dan apa yang dapat kamu anggap serupa dengan Dia?" (Yesaya 40:18)

Apakah yang menjadi kebanggan kita saat ini: harta, jabatan, atau kepandaian kitakah? Ingatlah, teknologi secanggih apa pun tidak mampu menjamin kita dapat luput dari masalah, bahkan bahaya yang mengancam di depan mata pun tak dapat kita hindari. Lalu ke mana kita dapat lari dan mencari tempat perlindungan yang aman? Dapatkah kita membeli rasa aman itu dengan uang?

Maka dengan kata lain, segala sesuatu yang ada di dunia ini dapat lenyap dan musnah begitu saja; jika hal itu seijin Tuhan, terjadilah. Manusia mungkin bisa memperediksi keadaan cuaca dan sebagainya, namun siapakah yang dapat menanggulangi bencana yang tiba-tiba datang tanpa diduga sebelumnya? Banyak korban berjatuhan karena gempa, tanah longsor, banjir bandang, kecelakaan pesawat dan lain-lain. Dan semua itu di luar perkiraan manusia.

Tuhan berkata, "Sesungguhnya, bangsa-bangsa adalah seperti setitik air dalam timba dan dianggap seperti sebutir debu pada neraca. Sesungguhnya, pulau-pulau tidak lebih dari abu halus beratnya." (ayat 15). Dari pernyataan ayat ini terlihat betapa kecilnya manusia di mata Tuhan. Jadi sungguh tidak ada yang membuat Tuhan terpesona dari diri kita selain hati yang selalu berpaut kepadaNya, karena hanya dengan hati yang selalu berharap dan mengandalkan Tuhanlah yang membuat Dia tidak rela membiarkan kita celaka; tanganNya yang berkuasa itu selalu melindungi dan menjaga kita dari bahaya yang mengancam.

Namun masih banyak orang sering meragukan kuasa Tuhan hanya karena mereka tidak sabar menanti pertolongan Tuhan. Akibatnya mereka condong mencari pertolongan atau menerima tawaran dari dunia yang sepertinya dapat menjawab pergumulannya secara instan. Mereka berpaling pada ilah-ilah lain, pranormal, benda keramat dan lain-lain. Namun apa pun dan siapa pun yang ada di dunia ini tidak ada yang sebanding dengan kuasa Tuhan! Dialah yang menciptakan langit dan bumi serta segala isinya. Tertulis: "Langit adalah takhta-Ku dan bumi adalah tumpuan kaki-Ku;" (Yesaya 66:1a).

Ingatlah ini: Tuhan Yesus itu sudah cukup bagi kita, karena kuasaNya tak terbatas dan tiada bandingannya.

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 ...
