Hadapi Masalah dengan Kuasa Allah


Zakharia 4:1-14

Kita tahu merintis pelayanan bukan tugas yang mudah. Ada banyak kendala yang bisa melunturkan semangat. Halangan, mulai dari kerikil sampai batu besar, bisa datang bergantian mengadang. Namun, di tengah situasi itu, kita harus tetap yakin bahwa Allah akan selalu memimpin

Zerubabel mendapat tugas untuk membangun Bait Allah dan umat-Nya (9). Mereka, yang kembali ke tanah perjanjian, bersusah payah untuk membangun kembali tanah leluhurnya dari reruntuhan.

Namun, setelah sekian lama, mereka lupa tugas akan utamanya sebagai umat, yaitu beribadah. Akan tetapi, permasalahannya adalah Bait Allah telah lama runtuh. Lalu, di mana mereka harus beribadah?

Tuhan hendak memakai Zerubabel untuk menyadarkan umat Yehuda agar mulai membangun Bait Allah. Namun, orang-orang yang dihadapi Zerubabel bagaikan gunung batu besar. Oleh karena itu, tugas Zakharia adalah menyampaikan janji Allah kepada Zerubabel bahwa ia akan menyelesaikan tugas tersebut bukan karena kuat dan perkasanya, melainkan karena Allah (6). Dalam hal ini, Roh Allah akan meneguhkan setiap perkataan Zakharia kepada Zerubabel. Zerubabel dan Yosua adalah dua dahan pohon zaitun itu (11). Merekalah perintis pekerjaan Allah untuk membangun kembali Bait Allah di Yerusalem.

Allah memilih orang untuk membangun umat-Nya. Akan tetapi, bukan berarti rintangan segera sirna begitu saja. Gesekan, salah paham, dan berbagai masalah datang bak batu besar yang menghalangi pekerjaan Allah. Namun, kita tidak boleh mundur karena Allah, melalui Roh-Nya, akan selalu menguatkan. Inilah yang menjadi pegangan kita saat bekerja melayani Dia.

Zaman sekarang, teknologi sudah semakin maju. Kita patut bersyukur karena semua kemajuan itu bisa digunakan untuk mengatasi rintangan dalam pelayanan. Namun, kita harus tetap mawas diri. Semua kemudahan itu tidak boleh mengganti peran Roh Allah. Kita tetap harus mengandalkan Tuhan di atas segalanya.

Doa: Ya Allah, ajar kami agar selalu peka pada kuasa-Mu dalam pelayanan kami. [RP]

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 ...
