Pembacaan Alkitab: Ayub 13
BIla kita pernah mengalami saat di mana sepertinya Tuhan diam, dan sepertinya Tuhan tidak hadir dalam hidup kita dan segalanya kacau balau, maka kita akan mengerti keadaan hati Ayub pada saat ini. Sebab ia masih tidak mengerti salah apa yang telah ia lakukan sehingga Tuhan sembunyi daripadanya, sehingga hal-hal in terjadi. Oleh karena itu Ayub berseru kepada Tuhan, ia tetap berharap bahwa Tuhan akan menjawabnya dan melepaskannya dari semua ini. Pada saat itu Ayub tidak tahu bahwa Tuhan akan melepaskannya, bahwa Tuhan sebenarnya percaya akan kesetiaan Ayub dan kita tahu akan hal-hal ni karena kesaksian hidup Ayub ditulis untuk kita pelajari. Jadi, bila kita ada saat-saat seperti Ayub, yang sepertinya Tuhan tidak hadir, jauh, atau juga tidak menjawab, ingatlah bahwa sebenarnya mata Tuhan selalu melihat kepada kita. Kita hanya perlu tetap bertahan dalam iman dan pengharapan bahwa Tuhan akan melepaskan kita. Tetapi juga tetap rendah hati untuk membiarkan Tuhan merubah apa yang masih tidak berkenan di hadapan Tuhan, sebab di mata manusia, kita mungkin sudah baik, tetapi di mata Tuhan, semuanya itu berbeda. Jadi, tetaplah beriman dan berharap kepada Tuhan, walaupun sepertinya Tuhan tidak ada. Justru itulah yang disebut iman, yakni pengharapan akan apa yang belum terlihat dan belum terjadi. Percayalah bahwa Tuhan selalu ada di sisi kita dan tidak akan pernah terlambat menolong dan melepaskan kita.

Bible Reading: Job 13
If we have experienced a time where it seems that the Lord is quiet, and it seems that the Lord is not present at all in our lives and where everything is just out of place, then we will understand Job's heart condition at that time. Because he still did not understand what wrong he had done such that the Lord has hid His face from him, such that bad things happened. That is why Job cried out to the Lord, he still have hope that the Lord will answer and deliver him. At that time Job did not know that the Lord will deliver him, that the Lord actually believed in Job's faithfulness and we know all these because the testimony of Job has been written for us to learn from. So, if we do face times as Job did, where it seems that the Lord is not present, far away, or not answering, remember that the Lord's eyes is always upon us. We just need to keep on holding on to that hope and faith that the Lord will deliver us. But also keep being humble and let the Lord change the things that are still displeasing to the LOrd, because in the eyes of men, we might be good, but in the eyes of the Lord everything is different. So, keep on having faith and hope in the Lord though it seems as if He is not present. In fact, that is faith, having hope on things that has not yet seen or happened. Believed that the Lord is always besides us and He will never be late to help and deliver us.
