Strength in Tribulation

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
(1 Peter 5:6-11,NIV)

Hari ini jalan buntu menghadang.
My mind is blunt.
I usually go forward with full confidence in faith. I usually got several ideas to solve problems. But this time, the road is totally blocked. Not even a string of light went thru this darkened space.
All words of comfort that I used to say to strengthen my brothers n sisters seems all came back to me, lingering in my head, but none has bring me comfort.
I felt helpless.
Aku tahu, sekaligus tak tahu apa yang Tuhan mau.
Aku mengerti, sekaligus tak mengerti apa yang Tuhan maksud.
Namun pagi ini Ia mengunci kekhawatiranku dengan : "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings."
Selain menyerahkan kekhawatiran, I also have to be SELF-CONTROLLED and ALERT. Dalam kerapuhanku iblis sedang mengintai untuk memenangkan jiwaku.
I won't let him have fun over me!!! God show me your power and grace, and deliver me from evil! By Jesus' name, this I pray.
