“Tuhan Dapat Menggunakan Apa Pun” (Matius 14: 13-21)

Posted on by AkhirZaman

[AkhirZaman.org] Apakah Anda pernah merasa lapar? Saya yakin pasti pernah, terutama jika pada waktu untuk sarapan … atau makan siang, atau makan malam … kalau dipikir-pikir, saya pikir kapan pun juga ada keinginan untuk ngemil!

Mari kita bayangkan saya punya sedikit sesuatu di tas saya, dan mungkin saya bisa membagikannya kepada Anda semua. Tapi Anda banyak. Mari kita lihat. Saya tidak yakin apakah ini akan cukup untuk grup kita. Saya hanya punya beberapa biskuit di sini. Saya harus membaginya menjadi potongan-potongan yang sangat kecil untuk memberi kepada Anda semua. Tetapi jika saya memiliki lebih banyak, mungkin kita bisa menikmati sedikit makanan ringan …

Anda tahu, makanan sebenarnya adalah hal yang luar biasa, ketika Anda memikirkannya. Ketika kita makan makanan, tubuh kita memecah apa yang kita masukkan ke dalamnya, dan mengubah potongan-potongan kecil itu menjadi hal-hal yang dapat digunakan untuk kekuatan dan energi. Kita tidak benar-benar harus memikirkannya. Kita hanya makan sesuatu (semoga sesuatu yang sehat), dan tubuh kita melakukan pekerjaan selanjutnya. Dalam beberapa hal, itu serupa hubungan kita dengan Tuhan. Kita memberikan kepada-Nya apa pun yang kita miliki, dan Dia dapat mengusahakannya untuk melakukan hal-hal luar biasa!

Itulah yang terjadi dalam kisah Injil hari ini, dan itu ada hubungannya dengan makanan. Yesus sedang mengajar, dan ada sekelompok besar orang yang datang untuk mendengarkan apa yang Dia katakan. Ya, itu terjadi pada jam makan malam, dan para murid memperhatikan bahwa orang banyak mungkin akan kelaparan. Yesus berkata kepada para murid untuk menemukan sesuatu untuk dimakan banyak orang! Itu tampak agak mencengangkan. Ada lebih dari 5.000 orang yang hadir, dan untuk memberi setiap orang sedikit makanan saja akan lebih mahal daripada yang mereka miliki.

Yang dapat ditemukan para murid hanyalah seorang anak lelaki yang kebetulan makan siang bersamanya, dan itu hanya terdiri dari lima roti dan dua ikan. Tetapi para murid membawa anak ini kepada Yesus, dan dia menyerahkan makan siangnya. Yesus berdoa untuk itu, dan membuat orang mulai membagikan makanan di sekitar. Entah bagaimana, makan siang kecil itu tidak habis. Bahkan, itu memberi makan semua orang di kerumunan, dan masih bersisa!

Bagaimana Yesus melakukan mukjizat yang sedemikian spektakuler? Ya, kita tahu bahwa Yesus bisa melakukan apa saja, jadi bagi kita itu seharusnya tidak terlalu mengejutkan. Tetapi Dia tidak harus menggunakan makan siang kecil itu. Dia adalah Tuhan. Dia bisa menghasilkan makanan dari beberapa batu. Namun Dia menggunakan apa yang dimiliki seseorang, dan karena belas kasihan kepada orang-orang, Dia menggunakannya untuk memberi makan orang banyak. Yang harus dilakukan anak itu adalah bersedia untuk digunakan. Dan kita dapat mengizinkan Tuhan untuk menggunakan hidup kita juga. Kita mempercayai Dia untuk menyediakan bagi kita, dan kita mempercayai Dia untuk menggunakan apa pun yang kita berikan kepada-Nya.

Kita mungkin tidak berpikir bahwa kita memiliki banyak bakat, kemampuan, atau potensi. Tapi Tuhan yakin. Dia akan mengurus kebutuhan kita, dan Dia akan menggunakan kita dengan cara yang bahkan tidak bisa kita bayangkan. Kita membawa diri kita sendiri, dan Dia menciptakan ciptaan baru dan indah dari kehidupan kita yang penuh dosa. Sungguh keajaiban!

Maukah kita mengucapkan doa terima kasih kepada Tuhan, dan meminta Dia untuk menggunakan kita?

Momen Doa Anak-Anak Kepada Tuhan:
Terima kasih telah menggunakan apa pun yang kami miliki untuk keinginan Anda
Tolong bantu kami untuk mempercayai-Mu
Dan biarkan hidup kami digunakan untuk kemuliaan-Mu
Kami tahu Engkau akan selalu menyediakan
Dan membuat hal-hal besar dari hal-hal kecil
Terima kasih atas mukjizat-Mu
Terima kasih atas kasih-Mu
Kami mengasihi-Mu, Tuhan!
Dalam nama Yesus, Amin!

  4. I have been exploring for a little bit for any high-quality articles or weblog posts in this sort of house . Exploring in Yahoo I ultimately stumbled upon this site. Studying this info So i am satisfied to express that I’ve a very just right uncanny feeling I discovered exactly what I needed. I so much no doubt will make certain to do not overlook this website and give it a look on a relentless basis.

  63. Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to uptonshade kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.

  64. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at supportnexus extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.

  65. A relief to read something where I did not have to fact check every claim mentally, and a look at progressmapping continued that reliable feeling, sites where I can lower my guard and trust the content are rare and this one is earning that trust paragraph by paragraph through consistent careful work behind the scenes.

  66. Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at fitnessnexus continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.

  67. Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to ideasneedexecutionnow only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.

  68. Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at progresswithsignal confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.

  69. Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at vibrantstage continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.

  70. Adding this site to my regular reading list, the post earned that on its own, and a quick stop at buildmomentumwisely sealed the decision, the kind of place worth checking back with from time to time because it consistently produces material that holds up against a critical reading too which I really value.

  71. More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at brightcapture confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.

  72. A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at directioncreateslift confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.

  73. Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at velvetcomplex extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.

  74. Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at factvoyager extended the pleasant evening reading, content that fits the tone of relaxed time without becoming forgettable is what I look for in evening reading and this site has the right tone for that particular slot in my daily reading routine.

  75. My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at executeideasfast confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.

  76. Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at focusunlockspotential suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.

  77. Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at ideapathfinder kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.

  78. Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at focusunlockspath continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.

  79. Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at focusgeneratespower extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.

  81. Probably the best thing I have read on this topic in the past month, and a stop at jalaxis extended that ranking, the casual ranking of recent reading is informal but real and this site has been winning those rankings for me on this topic specifically over the last several weeks of regular reading sessions.
