Man
Proposes, God Disposes
We might have many plans…
There are some plans that were successful, some
plans were not.
There are many plans which have gone far from the
original plans.
Many times, no matter how hard we’ve fought…
If that’s not the best in His plans for us…
No matter how matured the plan was, it didn’t
happen.
We might need to make plans…
But, when the plans doesn’t come true
We believe that it’s the best in His perspective…
And we should do our part: always give our best
for Him. (-fon-)
The heart of man plans his way,
but the Lord establishes his steps.
but the Lord establishes his steps.
--- Proverbs 16:9
Manusia Berencana, Tuhan Menentukan
Kita punya
banyak rencana.
Banyak kali,
setelah berjuang keras sekalipun…
Jika itu
bukanlah yang terbaik dalam rencana-Nya
Rencana yang
sematang apa pun tidak terjadi…
Kita tetap
boleh berencana…
Namun, ketika
rencana tidak terwujud bahkan dibawa-Nya kepada rencana selanjutnya…
Kita percaya
bahwa itulah yang terbaik menurut pandangan-Nya…
Dan terus
melakukan bagian kita: yang terbaik bagi-Nya. (-fon-)
Hati manusia
memikir-mikirkan jalannya, tetapi Tuhanlah yang menentukan arah langkahnya.
--- Amsal 16:9
We Are God’s Creation
We’re God’s
creations which were prepared for goodness.
May we live in
doing righteous things which are pleasing in His eyes.
So that our
life- as His creations- will be beautiful in His Sight.
He’s been so
good to us.
Isn’t it the
time to give our best to the Lord? (-fon-)
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to
do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
--- Ephesians 2:10
Kita adalah Ciptaan Allah
Kita adalah
ciptaan Allah yang diperuntukkan bagi kebaikan.
Semoga kita
berusaha terus memilih melakukan hal-hal yang baik dan berkenan di mata Allah
sehingga hidup kita-yang merupakan ciptaan-Nya ini- tetap indah di mata-Nya.
Dia sudah
begitu baik bagi kita.
Bukankah ini
saatnya untuk juga memberikan yang terbaik bagi Dia? (-fon-)
Karena kita
ini buatan Allah,
diciptakan dalam
Kristus Yesus untuk melakukan pekerjaan baik,
yang dipersiapkan Allah sebelumnya. Ia mau, supaya kita hidup di
dalamnya.
--- Efesus
2:10
Your Ways are Amazing
Dear God,
We have our
limitations…
In our
thoughts, in our ways…
But You’re
God…
Your ways,
Your thoughts, are amazing…
There’s no
other way, except Your ways,
That I wanted
to follow….
May all my
life be pleasing to You. (-fon-)
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
--- Isaiah 55:8-9
Jalan-Mu
Menakjubkan
Tuhan,
Kami punya keterbatasan…
Dalam pikiran kami, dalam cara-cara kami…
Tetapi Engkaulah Tuhan
Jalan-Mu, pikiran-Mu, sungguh menakjubkan
Tiada jalan lain, kecuali jalan-Mu
Yang sungguh ingin kuikuti…
Semoga hidupku menyenangkan-Mu. (-fon-)
Sebab rancangan-Ku bukanlah rancanganmu, dan jalanmu bukanlah jalan-Ku,
demikianlah firman TUHAN. Seperti tingginya langit dari bumi, demikianlah
tingginya jalan-Ku dari jalanmu dan rancangan-Ku dari rancanganmu.
--- Isaiah 55:8-9
