Just Wait
Hi friends,
pakabar? hehe gak kerasa dah mau Paskah yah.. tinggal 3 minggu lagi... di gerejaku ada musical tgl 26 maret tentang Joseph, dateng2 yah kalo bisa.. jem 5 sore.. hehe aku suka lagu2nya... hehe.. kata2nya bagus...
rabu kemaren sempet mampir ke Life Bookshop, liat2 poster trus ada satu yang ngebuat aku teringet beberapa kejadian di awal taon 2005... Beberapa kejadian yang aku gak ngerti knp terjadi.. seakan2 Tuhan direct aku ke sana dan lalu yang terjadi sebaliknya.. hehe.. yah nanya2 ama Tuhan seh.. 'kenapa Tuhan?' and 'Aku gak ngerti Tuhan'
Aku bersyukur banget atas penyertaanNya lewat sate, aku diingetkan untuk diem dan nunggu.. jangan lari atau mengisi dengan kegiatan2 supaya gak mikirin hal itu. Trus sempet ada ayat Psalm 46:10a Be Still and know that I am God. Satu ayat yang membuat aku diem dan bertanya2 knp aku bisa meragukan Tuhan dan continue to preservere spiritually. Trus berkali-kali Tuhan nguatin lewat firman Tuhan di Sunday Service dari Amsal. Trus Evening Class di SBC lewat kitab Hosea, Tuhan menunjukkan betapa besar kasihNya kepada bangsa Israel, meskipun bangsa Israel telah berkali2 berbalik dari Tuhan. Penghancuran yang seakan-akan hukuman dari Allah akan membawa ke restoration dan penggenapan janji Allah.. hehe sungguh indah seh berita ini.. kalo Tuhan sayang bgt sama anak2Nya dan destruction yang diberi itu bukan total destruction tapi destruction that leads to restoration. Clark Keith sempet ngomong juga waktu di kelas SBC, waiting is a hard time. It needs fully surrender and trust to the love of God. hehe setuju bgt dgn kata2nya...
well, aku ketik aja yah apa yg aku liat di brochurenya.. hehe aku beli buat ngingetin aku kalo2 aku mau lari dari Tuhan... :P
Just Wait
Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried;
Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate...
and the Master so gently said,"Wait."
"Wait? you say wait?" my indignant reply.
"Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!"
Is your hand shortened? or have you not heard?
By faith I have asked, and I'm claiming your Word.
My future and all to which I relate
hangs in the balance and you tell me to wait?
I'm needing a 'yes', a go-ahead sign.
Or even a 'no', to which I'll resign.
You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe,
we need but to ask, and we shall receive.
Lord, I've been asking, and this is my cry:
I'm weary of asking! I need a reply.
Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate
as my Master replied again,"Wait."
So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut,
and grumbled to God, "So, I'm waiting.. for what?"
He seemed then to kneel, and His eyes met with mine....
and He tenderly said, "I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heavens and darken the sun.
I could raise the dead and cause mountains to run.
I could give all you seek and pleased you would be.
You'd have what you want, but you wouldn't know Me.
You'd not know the depth of My love for each saint.
You'd not know the power that I give to the faint.
You'd not learn to see through clouds of despair;
you'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there.
You'd not know the joy of resting in Me
when darkness and silence are all you can see.
You'd never experience the fullness of love
when the peace of My spirit descends like a dove.
You would know that I give, and I save, for a start,
but you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart.
The glow of My comfort late into the night,
the faith that I give when you walk without sight.
The depth that's beyond getting just what you ask
from an infinite God who makes what you have last.
You'd never know should your pain quickly flee,
what it means that My grace is sufficient for thee.
Yes, your dearest dreams overnight would come true,
but oh, the loss if I lost what I'm doing in you.
So, be silent, my childd, and in time you will see
that the greatest of gifts is so truly know me.
And though oft My answers seem terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still... WAIT"
Buat temen2, yang lagi nyari kerjaan, yang lagi doain PH, yang lagi hoping for miracle, atau yg lagi bergumul tentang sesuatu.. semoga ini memberikan kekuatan tersendiri :P

jadi inget lagu Don Moen, Be Still.
emang bener seh, phrase "know that I am your God" itu powerful banget.
few weeks back, lagi baca Keluaran dan Bilangan, banyak kata2: "... I am the Lord, your God".
Kena banget dgn phrase yg begitu powerful, akhirnya di agenda, yg biasanya cuman nulis: "Quiet Time", diganti jadi: "Quiet Time, I am the Lord, your God".
biar lebih mengena pas baca, lebih berasa dan kepikiran kalo itu command dari Tuhan. Works well so far.
As for His guidance, as I looked back my life, it has been really wonderful, and for those who know me, I always have lots of problems, troubles, issues, matters to handle, and without God's intervention, all those would not have been possible to finish.
Gua selalu yakin akan satu hal, my life will be a BIG mess, if not for Him. Ngutip dari lagu Don Moen, Thank You Lord: "For all You've given to me, for all the blessings that I cannot see, Thank You Lord!!!"
Haloo mit,
