Yeremia 29:11

Berjalan Dalam Rencana Tuhan

Ayat bacaan: Yeremia 29:11
====================
"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."

berjalan dalam rencana TuhanDua anjing, dua sifat yang bertolak belakang. Saya selalu merasa lucu melihat keduanya. Yang satu begitu penakut. Jika hujan turun ia pun akan bersembunyi dikolong meja dan takut untuk keluar. Bukan air yang ia takutkan, tetapi bunyi guruh atau kilat. Dia memang sensitif terhadap bunyi-bunyian yang keras. Jika bunyi guruh saja takut, apalagi petasan. Setiap menjelang perayaan hari besar kami pun repot karenanya. Sementara anjing yang satu lagi justru sebaliknya. Tidak sedikitpun punya rasa takut. Pintu terbuka sedikit ia akan segera lari keluar. Dia tidak menyadari sama sekali bahwa berbagai bahaya mengintainya apabila ia berada diluar pengawasan. Kedua sifat ini bertolak belakang, tetapi keduanya tidak baik. Yang satu ketakutan berlebihan, yang satu berani berlebihan. Apa yang baik adalah berada ditengah-tengah. Tidak takut tetapi tidak pula nekad. Tetapi ingatlah bahwa itu hanya bisa kita lakukan dengan nyaman jika kita mengetahui rencana Tuhan dalam hidup kita.

Ada banyak orang yang belum mengetahui apa yang menjadi rencana Tuhan dalam hidup mereka. Akibatnya kerap mereka melakukan keputusan-keputusan yang keliru, tergesa-gesa dalam melangkah dan akibatnya merugikan. Di sisi lain ada banyak pula yang tidak kunjung berani mengambil keputusan apapun karena selalu dicekam rasa takut. Mengetahui rencana Tuhan akan membuat kita bisa melangkah dengan berani dan penuh keyakinan selama disertai dengan iman yang teguh.

Apa yang direncanakan Tuhan pada kita? Segala sesuatu yang indah, penuh harapan. Lihatlah ayat berikut ini berbicara sangat jelas akan hal tersebut. "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) Lihatlah apa yang disediakan Tuhan sesungguhnya begitu luar biasa indahnya. It even contains a promise of better future. Betapa sayangnya apabila kita melewatkan rancangan yang terbaik ini dalam perjalanan hidup kita.

Bagaimana agar kita bisa mengetahui rancangan Tuhan terhadap kita? Mari kita lihat ayat selanjutnya. "Dan apabila kamu berseru dan datang untuk berdoa kepada-Ku, maka Aku akan mendengarkan kamu." (ay 12). Berdoalah, dan mintalah kepada Tuhan untuk menunjukkan apa yang menjadi rencanaNya bagi kita. Tuhan akan selalu mendengarkan kita, itu janji Tuhan. Lalu selanjutnya "apabila kamu mencari Aku, kamu akan menemukan Aku; apabila kamu menanyakan Aku dengan segenap hati, Aku akan memberi kamu menemukan Aku, demikianlah firman TUHAN." (ay 13-14a). Tuhan tidak pernah mau menjauhkan diri dari kita. Dia akan selalu terbuka untuk ditemui, kapan saja, dimana saja. Apa yang bisa membuat Tuhan memalingkan muka dari kita adalah kejahatan dan dosa-dosa yang kita lakukan. (Yesaya 59:2). Jika kita sudah membereskan semua ganjalan itu maka Tuhan pun akan kembali bisa kita temukan. Kita bisa setiap saat bertanya kepadaNya apa yang menjadi rencanaNya bagi kita, apa yang harus kita lakukan, dan meminta hikmat untuk menerangi akal pikiran kita untuk bisa mengetahui rancanganNya.

Selanjutnya mari kita lihat ayat berikut ini: "Kita tahu sekarang, bahwa Allah turut bekerja dalam segala sesuatu untuk mendatangkan kebaikan bagi mereka yang mengasihi Dia, yaitu bagi mereka yang terpanggil sesuai dengan rencana Allah." (Roma 8:28) Allah akan selalu turut bekerja dalam segala sesuatu yang mendatangkan kebaikan bagi kita, orang-orang yang mengasihi Dia, yang berjalan sesuai dengan rencana Allah. Itu sebuah janji akan penyertaanNya dalam penggenapan rencana Tuhan dalam hidup kita. Ketika kita sudah mengetahui apa yang menjadi rencanaNya, kita bisa melakukan yang terbaik untuk itu, dan selalu mempersembahkan ucapan syukur kita. Disanalah kita tidak lagi perlu takut menghadapi rintangan apapun. Mengapa harus takut? Bukankah kita seturut rencanaNya dan berjalan melintasi itu bersama dengan Tuhan? Dan disanalah kita akan mengalami hal-hal yang luar biasa yang telah Dia sediakan sejak semula. We can experience the impossible, we can have the unthinkable, simply because we are walking as He has planned. We can go boldly with Him without fear no matter what lies ahead.

Kepada setiap anak-anakNya Tuhan sudah menyediakan rancangan damai sejahtera yang sangat indah lengkap dengan hari depan yang penuh harapan. Adalah penting bagi kita untuk menangkap apa yang menjadi rencanaNya, dan berjalanlah di dalamnya. Tuailah semua yang dirancangkan Tuhan pada diri anda dan jadilah orang yang sukses. Menjadi kepala dan bukan ekor, tetap naik dan bukan turun. (Ulangan 28:13). Ketika anda melakukan hal ini, anda akan mengalami kemenangan demi kemenangan, bahkan yang tidak terpikirkan sebelumnya oleh anda sekalipun. Apapun yang menjadi bagian anda, lakukanlah dengan sungguh-sungguh. Anda tidak akan perlu diliputi rasa takut lagi meski ketika berhadapan dengan kesulitan sebesar apapun. Sudahkah anda menemukan rencanaNya dalam hidup anda? Find His will, and walk with Him towards it.

Menemukan rencana Tuhan dan berjalan seturut itu akan membuat kita mampu berjalan tanpa rasa takut.

My Dad

Our happy family. Picture taken in 1993

Tomorrow, 14th July marks my dad's 12th year anniversary.
You are deeply missed by my mum, brothers, sisters and all your love ones.

Dad,

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you, and whispered “Come to Me”. With tearful eyes we watched you, we watched you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands now rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

I miss being a Dad's girl, and the warm love that we shared.

Dalam Kristus

This is taken from our video cam files... this vid was captured in 2008. Miss those moment! :)



lyric:

Dalam Kristus
Dalam Kristus Kuberikan Kemuliaan Atas Kemenanganku
Sungguh Ku Terpesona Akan Kekuatan Dan KuasaMu
O Tak Dapat Ku Mengukurnya
Namun semuanya Tak Dapat Melampaui Anug'rahMu yang Ku T'rima

Dalam Kristus Ku Percaya
Ada Kemuliaan Dibalik SalibMu
Kar'na Ku Nyatakan Kem'nangan DariMu
Kekuatanku ... Harapanku ...
Hanya Yesus


In Christ Alone

I heard this song few minutes ago from our old video cam. I will upload our own video soon. I miss this song....i like it. For now enjoy this vid from youtube.
ENjoy iT n bE blEssEd!



Indonesian Version

Dalam Kristus Kuberikan Kemuliaan Atas Kemenanganku
Sungguh Ku Terpesona Akan Kekuatan Dan KuasaMu
O Tak Dapat Ku Mengukurnya
Namun semuanya Tak Dapat Melampaui Anug'rahMu yang Ku T'rima

Dalam Kristus Ku Percaya
Ada Kemuliaan Dibalik SalibMu
Kar'na Ku Nyatakan Kem'nangan DariMu
Kekuatanku ... Harapanku ...
Hanya Yesus



English Version

In Christ alone will I glory, though I could pride myself on battles won
For I've been blessed beyond measure, and by His grace alone I overcome
Oh, I could stop and count successes like diamonds in my hand
But those trophies could not equal to the grace by which I stand

Chorus: In Christ alone I Place my trust
And find my glory In the power of the cross
In every victory Let it be said of me
My source of strength My source of hope
Is Christ alone

In Christ alone will I glory for only by His grace I am redeemed
For only His tender mercy could reach beyond my weakness to my knees
Now I seek no greater honor than just to know Him more
And to count these gains as losses for the glory of my Lord

Lucunya .....

This morning, i tengah syok buat story telling dalam kelas Tahun 1C cerita "The Gingerbread Man".

Tiba2 seorang budak A menjerit kecil "Teacher, ada aedes, ada aedes!!" sambil pointing to my cheek. I pun wonder apa yang aedes aedes ni? The boy suruh saya pukul pipi....owh, rupa-rupanya nyamuk! hahaha...i laughed loudly dalam kelas. Budak A itu tersipu2 malu...I said bukan aedes tapi nyamuk.

So i asked him back, apa nyamuk dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Sorang budak pulak menjawab...."Lalat" hahaha.... ketawa lagilah kami sekelas. :D

Balik semula ke cerita "The Gingerbread Man"...i tanya murid why The Gingerbread Man cannot cross the river? Budak A tadi jawab "sebab dia lempong" hihihi.... dia guna Iban word...lempong means lembut. hahaha... lawaknya...

Lawas Trip 2010

Shalom! We went for 4-days trip to Lawas last school holiday. It was on 18th-21st March 2010. There were 10 of us from Shah Alam & Miri inclusive 1 person from Lawas itself. We had an awesome journey and blessed ministry there. Enjoy those pics below....

we reached Lawas safely on that twin otter.
Then, we went straight to Long Sukang where we planned to be.


This is our friend's house Sis Deborah. We stayed here for a night then the following day we moved to Pastor's house for another 2nights and 3days.


here's Long Sukang's picture as u can see on the banner.



Frankly speaking, we were amazed by their great hospitality. 4/5
This was taken on the first church service at night. They welcomed us with a long queue and an angklung team.



Long Sukang has a big and beautiful church. This is the new building while the old building had been turned into a community hall which located next to this new building.



Well, this is the old church building. we had our meal here for 4 days.
Long Sukang has a great cook as well. hehehe... why? because all the food were irresistible. we had fun eating...eating....and eating....
i'm gonna miss their chili most. :(


we had fun jalan2 in Long Sukang too.



Here's our team group photo with Pastor Baru & Pastor Mariam
Long Sukang's church



we had fun playing with the kids.


Here's some of our friends at Miri Airport. Waiting for their flight to KL.

Hope to see you X4JCians again soon!!!
God bless our ministry as we do this for the glory of our God!

I Still Believe In Miracle

May God bless you when listening to this beautiful song by Sidney Mohede.
Be blessed :)

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

WHy? wHy? WhY?

Why? Why do we sleep during church, but when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up? Why is it so hard to talk about God, but so easy to talk about bad things? Why are we so bored when we read a Christian magazine, but find it easy to look at a magazine of people? Why is it so easy to ignore a Godly message, yet we forward the useless ones? Why are churches getting smaller, but bars and clubs are growing?
Just remember God is always watching you.
