in i like this song, reflection
At the foot of the cross
Where grace and suffering meet
You have shown me Your love
Through the judgment You received
And You’ve won my heart
And You’ve won my heart
Now I can
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross
At the foot of the cross
Where I am made complete
You have given me life
Through the death you bore for me
And You’ve won my heart
And You’ve won my heart
Now I can
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross
And You’ve won my heart
And You’ve won my heart
Now I can
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross
I lay every burden down
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross
At the foot of the cross
At the foot of the cross

be still and know that I am God
be still and know that I am God
be still and know that I am God
I am the God that healed thee
I am the God that healed thee
I am the God that healed thee
(words and music by Don Moen)
But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
(Isaiah 43:1-3, English Standard Version)
find rest my soul in Christ alone
know His power in quietness and trust
when the ocean rise and thunders roar
i will soar with You above the storm
Father You are King over the flood
i will be still know You are God
(words and music by Reuben Morgan)
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
(Psalms 46:1-3,10, English Standard Version)
waiting for my help

Psalms 39:1-13
(1) To the choirmaster: to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence.”
(2) I was mute and silent; I held my peace to no avail, and my distress grew worse.
(3) My heart became hot within me. As I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
(4) ”O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am!
(5) Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah
(6) Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
(7) ”And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.
( 8 ) Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the scorn of the fool! More
lukisan sang anak

Seorang kaya gemar mengoleksi karya-karya seni langka seperti karya-karya Picasso sampai Raphael. Dan anaknya adalah pemilih lukisan yang ulung. Ia tahu bagaimana caranya memilih lukisan-lukisan yang bagus. Mereka sering duduk bersama dan mengagumi keindahan karya seni tersebut.
Pada saat konflik Vietnam pecah, sang anak pergi ke medan perang. Dia sangat pemberani dan gugur di dalam pertempuran pada saat menolong prajurit lain. Sang ayah diberitahukan mengenai kabar anaknya dan sangat bersedih hati untuk anak satu-satunya itu.
Sebulan kemudian, tepat sebelum hari natal, ada ketukan di pintu rumah orang kaya itu. Seorang anak muda berdiri di depan pintu dengan bungkusan yang sangat besar ditangannya.
Anak muda itu berkata, “Tuan, anda tidak mengenal saya, tetapi saya adalah prajurit yang telah diselamatkan oleh anak anda dengan mengorbankan nyawanya. Anak anda menyelamatkan banyak orang pada hari itu, dan dia sedang mengangkat saya menuju tempat yang aman ketika sebuah peluru menembus jantungnya dan dia gugur seketika. Anak anda sering bercerita mengenai Anda dan kecintaan Anda akan seni.” More
tujuh keajaiban dunia

Sekelompok murid sedang belajar mengenai Tujuh Keajaiban Dunia. Pada akhir pelajaran, para murid diminta membuat daftar yang mereka pikir adalah tujuh keajaiban dunia saat ini. Walaupun ada ketidaksesuaian, sebagian besar daftar berisi :
- Piramida Besar di Mesir
- Taj Mahal
- Grand Canyon
- Panama Canal
- Empire State Building
- St. Peter’s Basilica
- Great Wall
Ketika mengumpulkan daftar pilihan, sang guru memperhatikan seorang murid, seorang gadis yang pendiam, yang belum mengumpulkan kertas kerjanya. Sang guru bertanya kepadanya, apakah dia memiliki kesulitan.
Gadis itu menjawab, “Ya, sedikit. Saya tidak bisa memilih karena banyaknya.” Sang guru berkata, “Baik. Katakan pada kami apa yang kamu miliki dan kami akan membantu memilihnya.”
Gadis itu ragu sejenak, kemudian membaca, “Saya pikir Tujuh Keajaiban Dunia adalah :
- Bisa menyentuh
- Bisa mencicip
- Bisa melihat
- Bisa mendengar
- Bisa merasakan
- Bisa tertawa
- Dan bisa mencintai “
Ruang kelas tersebut sunyi seketika.
Alangkah mudahnya buat kita melihat eksploitasi manusia dan menyebutnya keajaiban, sementara saat kita melihat dan menikmati semua yang sudah TUHAN lakukan bagi kita, kita menyebutnya biasa-biasa saja..
