"Tetapi aku, kepada kasih setia-Mu aku percaya, hatiku bersorak-sorak karena penyelamatan-Mu."  Mazmur 13:6

Sikap hati yang benar yang telah ditunjukkan Daud membuatnya berkenan kepada Tuhan.  Sebagai orang percaya kita patut meneladani sikap Daud ini!  Seringkali ketika badai masalah menyerang hidup ini hati kita dipenuhi kekuatiran dan kecemasan sehingga hati kita pun menjadi tawar.  Ayub punya pengalaman dalam hal ini:  "Karena yang kutakutkan, itulah yang menimpa aku, dan yang kucemaskan, itulah yang mendatangi aku."  (Ayub 3:25).  Ketakutan, kekuatiran, kecemasan, tawar hati, putus asa adalah senjata yang digunakan Iblis untuk melemahkan dan menghancurkan iman orang percaya.  Apa pun yang terjadi biarlah kita mau menguatkan iman percaya kepada Tuhan.

     Menempuh perjalanan hidup yang penuh liku tidak menyurutkan semangat Daud mencari Tuhan.  Semakin diperhadapkan dengan kesulitan semakin Daud melekat kepada Tuhan.  Saat menghadapi Saul atau pemberontakan anaknya  (Absalom), Daud selalu menguatkan hatinya dengan berdoa kepada Tuhan,  "Dengan nyaring aku berseru kepada Tuhan, dan Ia menjawab aku dari gunung-Nya yang kudus."  (Mazmur 3:5).  Saat ketakutan menyerang, Daud pun berdoa,  "Waktu aku takut, aku ini percaya kepada-Mu;  kepada Allah, yang firman-Nya kupuji, kepada Allah aku percaya, aku tidak takut. Apakah yang dapat dilakukan manusia terhadap aku?"  (Mazmur 56:4-5).  Ini menunjukkan bahwa berdoa adalah solusi terbaik bagi orang percaya.  Ada tertulis, "Doa orang yang benar, bila dengan yakin didoakan, sangat besar kuasanya."  (Yakobus 5:16b).  Daud bukan hanya berdoa saat dalam kesesakan, tapi ia juga selalu memuji-muji Tuhan.  Daud tidak menunggu sampai masalahnya selesai atau doanya dijawab Tuhan.

     Adalah mudah bersukacita atau bermazmur bagi Tuhan saat segala sesuatunya baik dan lancar, tapi jika kondisi kita sedang sakit, bangkrut, kekurangan, masih adakah pujian ke luar dari mulut kita?  Daud berkata,  "Aku hendak memuji Tuhan pada segala waktu; puji-pujian kepada-Nya tetap di dalam mulutku."  (Mazmur 34:2).  Belajarlah untuk selalu bersyukur sebab Tuhan itu baik dan sekali-kali tidak akan pernah meninggalkan kita.  

"Serahkanlah hidupmu kepada Tuhan dan percayalah kepada-Nya, dan Ia akan bertindak;"  Mazmur 37:5

Mark 9:35

Sitting down, Jesus called the 12 and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all"

Last?
Nobody like to be last..
We have a hard enough time settling for second place, much less last place..
Jesus reverse the rank... The person who is most important to him is not the person seeking the status and notoriety. The most important person is like Jesus himself: willing to give up rank and status and importance to serve..
For Jesus, last means first in service and first in the eyes of God...

James 4:8
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up

Humble yoursleves...
That sounds obscene.. At least to the "get ahead at all cost" and "don't look back the competition is gaining on you" culture of self promotion it sounds obscene...
Humility is a forgotten virtue.. Often confused with weakness or timidity, humility is about knowing our proper place in the world without flaunting it..
only God can exalt in a permanent way, so the key is to know our place before him and let him put us in the place he chooses to honor him...

Oh no, did I get too close oh?
Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside?
All your insecurities
All the dirty laundry
Never made me blink one time

Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally

Come just as you are to me
Don't need apologies
Know that you are unworthy
I'll take your bad days with your good
Walk through this storm I would
I'd do it all because I love you, I love you

Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally

So open up your heart and just let it begin
Open up your heart, and just let it begin
Open up your heart, and just let it begin
Open up your heart
Acceptance is the key to be
To be truly free
Will you do the same for me?


It's just like the love from Father above... UNCONDITIONALLY...
Though we are unworthy in the eyes of this world,, but in His eyes we are very precious..
So, don't waste you time here on earth...
There is nothing to be feared of...
Do all the things based on your gratefulness for the unconditional love received from the above... for the glory on Himself..

Lord,
As a new year begins,
we come to You and ask for Your blessing.
We pray that you would give us joy to fill our days,
peace to fill our hearts,
and love to fill our lives.
Thank You for the plans You have for us in this new year.
We wait in anticipation to see all You will do!
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
