Empat Cara Tuhan Menjawab Doa Anda

Bacaan Hari ini:
Lukas 11: 11-13 "Bapa manakah di antara kamu, jika anaknya minta ikan dari padanya, akan memberikan ular kepada anaknya itu ganti ikan? Atau, jika ia minta telur, akan memberikan kepadanya kalajengking? Jadi jika kamu yang jahat tahu memberi pemberian yang baik kepada anak-anakmu, apalagi Bapamu yang di sorga! Ia akan memberikan Roh Kudus kepada mereka yang meminta kepada-Nya."


Tuhan menjawab doa dengan setidaknya empat dari banyak cara.

Ketika permintaan Anda tidak tepat, Tuhan berkata, "Tidak." Sama seperti orangtua yang berkata "tidak" kepada anak-anak mereka demi seratus alasan yang baik untuk anak mereka, Tuhan tidak berutang penjelasan kepada Anda setiap kali Dia mengatakan "Tidak" atas permintaan Anda.

Ketika waktunya tidak tepat, Tuhan berkata, “Perlambatlah." Ada perbedaan besar antara penundaan dan penolakan. "Tidak" dan "Belum" bukanlah hal yang sama. Namun jika kita telah belajar dan menerima perbedaan, maka itu menunjukkan kedewasaan rohani kita.

Ketika permintaan dan waktunya tepat tetapi jika Anda tidak tepat, Tuhan berkata, “Bertumbuhlah." Ia ingin melakukan sesuatu dalam hidup Anda sebelum Ia menjawab doa Anda, karena Anda belum siap menerima jawaban-Nya. 

Ketika permintaan dan waktunya tepat dan Anda tepat, maka Tuhan berkata, “Pergilah.” Tuhan seringkali memberi kita lampu hijau atas doa-doa kita — dan itu hal yang hal kita syukuri. 

Lukas 11: 11-13 mengatakan, "Bapa manakah di antara kamu, jika anaknya minta ikan dari padanya, akan memberikan ular kepada anaknya itu ganti ikan? Atau, jika ia minta telur, akan memberikan kepadanya kalajengking? Jadi jika kamu yang jahat tahu memberi pemberian yang baik kepada anak-anakmu, apalagi Bapamu yang di sorga! Ia akan memberikan Roh Kudus kepada mereka yang meminta kepada-Nya."

Tuhan tidak akan pernah memberi Anda apa pun yang menyakitkan atau yang buruk buat Anda. Bahkan orangtua yang tidak sempurna sekallipun tahu bagaimana memberikan yang terbaik kepada anak-anak mereka, bukankah Tuhan, yang baik dan sempurna, akan melakukan yang lebih besar untuk Anda? Dia siap menjawab doa Anda — di dalam waktu dan cara-Nya yang sempurna.

Renungkan hal ini: 
- Bagaimana Anda bisa tahu bedanya antara penundaan dan penolakan? Haruskah Anda merespon jawaban-jawaban atas doa Anda dengan berbeda? Mengapa atau mengapa tidak?
- Pikirkan satu waktu ketika Tuhan menjawab doa Anda dengan jawaban “Bertumbuh." Dengan cara apa Anda tumbuh, dan apa yang Anda pelajari ketika Anda menunggu Tuhan untuk menjawab doa Anda?
- Menurut Anda, bagaimana Tuhan ingin Anda merespon ketika Dia berkata, "Pergilah"?



Bacaan Alkitab Setahun :
Yehezkiel 27 - 30; II Timotius 3: 1-9

Tuhan selalu menjawab setiap doa, namun tak semua doa dijawab seperti yang kita inginkan

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 ...
