Daily Bread: Surrounded By God’s Favor

😇 Shalom to all.
Firman Allah hari ini:

“Ketika pelayan abdi Allah bangun pagi-pagi dan pergi ke luar, maka tampaklah suatu tentara dengan kuda dan kereta ada di sekeliling kota itu. Lalu berkatalah bujangnya itu kepadanya: ”Celaka tuanku! Apakah yang akan kita perbuat?” Jawabnya: ”JANGAN TAKUT, SEBAB LEBIH BANYAK YANG MENYERTAI KITA dari pada yang menyertai mereka.” Lalu berdoalah Elisa: ”Ya Tuhan: Bukalah kiranya matanya, supaya ia melihat.” Maka Tuhan membuka mata bujang itu, sehingga ia melihat. Tampaklah gunung itu penuh dengan kuda dan kereta berapi sekeliling Elisa.”
‭‭(2 Raja-raja‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭TB‬‬)

JANGAN TAKUT, SEBAB LEBIH BANYAK YANG MENYERTAI KITA

Ada nyanyian rohani, judulnya: “Surrounded” (penulis: Elyssa Smith), yang diterjemahkan: ‘beginilah pergumulan hidup yang kuhadapi, walau seakan aku terkepung namun aku dikelilingi oleh hadirat-Mu’.

Walau kehidupan yang kita jalani terasa seakan banyak perkara yang mengepung kita, membuat rasa tertekan, rasa terdesak dan terpepet, tak tahu bagaimana, perasaan Anda terkepung; percayalah dan tetap peganglah firman Tuhan, bahwa ‘yang menyertai kita dan mengelilingi kita lebih banyak dan lebih dahsyat’; Tuhan yang menyertai kita dan para malaikat-Nya mengelilingi kita.

Ya Tuhan, celikkanlah mata pengertianku agar aku dapat menahami dan mengalami bahwa anugerah-Mu menaungiku dan kuasa-Mu mengelilingiku. Amin.

Bless you

God’s word today:

“When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my Lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “THOSE WHO ARE WITH US ARE MORE than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”
‭‭(2 Kings‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

DON’T BE AFRAID, THOSE WHO ARE WITH US ARE MORE

There is a christian song, title “Surrounded (Fight My Battles)” (written by Elyssa Smith); part of its words:
“This is how I fight my battles,
It may look like I’m surrounded, but I’m surrounded by You”

Even though the life we ​​walk feels as if a lot of situations surrounding us, it makes us feel pressed and trapped, we don’t know what to do, we feel overwhelmed; yet choose to believe and keep holding on to God’s words, that ‘those accompany us and surround us is many more and greater power’; God who is with us and His angels surround us.

O Lord, open the eyes of my understanding so that I can see that Your grace overshadows me and Your power surrounds me. Amen.

Bless you
