πŸ‘ Grow and Grow in:

Memahami keagungan bijaksana Tuhan dalam karya ciptaan-Nya

πŸ“– Fokus Alkitab:
“Hai, anakku, perhatikanlah perkataanku, arahkanlah telingamu kepada ucapanku; janganlah semuanya itu menjauh dari matamu, simpanlah itu di lubuk hatimu.”
Amsal 4:20-21

🎼🎸Sing a Song:

Indescribable
Singer: Chris Tomlin


Verse 1
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Verse 2
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Refrain
Indescribable, uncontainable, You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable, Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Story behind the song Indescribable

πŸ“š Bahan Cerita



God’s law require us to study and conform.
Since God is all-wise in governing His creation, including our lives, we must learn to live in accordance with God’s wise laws displayed in creation. How?

A CUP OF TEA
An adaptation of one of the most popular Zen stories, where a zen master teaches another monk an important lesson over a cup of tea.

Zen adalah filsafat Buddha, kemudian berkembang menjadi gaya hidup yg harmonis antara tubuh dan pikiran.

1. By observing creation
Proverbs 24:30-34
The Ancient Wise Man
He observed, thought about his observations, formed a conclusion, then put that conclusion into a proverb.
Example:  ____________________________________________________
____________________________________________________

The Modern Wise Man
He has a wonderful calling to observe the universe that God has made, to think about those observations, to form a conclusion, and to communicate that conclusion so that others may benefit from it.
Example:  ______________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________

2. By listening to God
Isaiah 28:23-29
God instructs us by giving us wisdom to live in the world
We must listen to the voice of God in creation, because there are things we can learn there for practical living that are not taught in the Bible. Wisdom is not just knowing the law of God, but also living in accordance with it.
Example: ____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
We must listen to the voice of God from the Bible.
His revelation in His Word has priority over His revelation in His world.

The scriptures alone teach us to live in accordance with God’s wisdom by trusting in Christ.

3. By trusting Christ
Colossians 2:3; 1 Corinthians 1:30

Complete wisdom is found in Jesus
When Paul defines wisdom, the first word he uses is righteousness. In the Old Testament, righteousness fundamentally means “right order, conformity.” Righteousness is conformity to God’s will.
We have all failed to be righteous, however, We have failed to be wise. Has anyone lived in perfect conformity to God’s will in the Bible? Has anyone lived in perfect conformity to God’s will in creation? We all lack wisdom; we are foolish by nature, not wise.
That is why Paul says Christ has become our wisdom, that is, our righteousness. Christ has perfectly conformed to the will of God in our place – both the will of God in creation and His will in the Bible. When we trust Christ, God clothes us with Jesus’ perfectly wise and righteous life. God looks at us as perfectly wise, although we still act rather unwisely much of the time.

πŸ‘‰Let's discuss :
Discussion : Three steps to living a “wise” life :
1. Rely on God!
Bagaimana kita yakin bahwa itu adalah jalan Tuhan?
a. Mengapa sangat sukar untuk percaya pada jalan Tuhan daripada jalan pemikiran kita?
b. Bagaimana kita tahu jalan Tuhan? Yeremia 29:11; Amasal 3:56. Sharingkanla saat di mana kamu lebih memilih jalanmu daripada jalan Tuhan! Apa akibatnya?
2. Think before you act!
Menurutmu apakah berpikir sebelum bertindak adalah hal yang selalu baik?
Berapa sering kamu bertindak /bereaksi pada suatu kondisi tanpa ber pikir lebih dulu?
3. Use failure as your teacher!
Pepatah mengatakan bahwa pengalaman adalah guru yang terbaik. Apakah ini juga berlaku bagi pengalaman buruk?
a. Sharingkanlah saat dimana kamu merasa sangat kacau sehingga melakukan hal bodoh!
b. Pelajaran apa yang kamu dapatkan dari pengalaman tersebut?

Bagaimana langkah-langkah ini menolong kita untuk merasakan keuntungan memiliki hikmat Tuhan?

Penutup : 1 Raja 3:16-28
Kebanyakan dari kita tidak mempunyai hikmat sebesar Salomo, tetapi  di ayat terakhir …
Tuhan juga akan memberikannya, bila kita memintanya. God will give it freely, generously and abundantly (Yakobus 1:5)
1. Pernahkah kita berdoa meminta hikmat dari Tuhan?
2. Apakah aku minta hikmat Tuhan sebelum memutuskan sesuatu?
3. Apakah aku menyadari beruntungnya bila punya hikmat Tuhan untuk membuat keputusan yang baik, antara yang benar dan salah?
