Orang Cina kalo lagi Imlek suka mengucapkan kata2 berkat kepada sesama, wejangan dari orang tua buat anak2nya, atau encouragement yg bersifat nasehat. Salah satu ungkapan berkat yg sering dilontarkan adalah: "Sin Siang She Chen", yg kalau diterjemahkan artinya kira2 seperti ini: semoga pikiran yg ada di hati akan terwujud. (sin=hati, siang=berpikir, she=hal, chen=terjadi). Hmm.. how nice kalo semua impian kita akan tercapai tahun ini. Tapi atas dasar apa semua impian yg ada di hati kita akan terwujud?
We know too well that we can only plan, but God has the final say. Ini mengingatkan ku akan Mazmur yg ditulis oleh raju teragung bangsa Israel ribuan tahun yg silam. Raja Daud; Raja yg punya segala sesuatu.. tahta, kuasa, kemakmuran, kemasyuran. Kepada siapa bersandar? Kepada siapa dia minta bantuan?
May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the GOD of Jacob protect you.
May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings.
May he give you the desire of our heart and make all you plans succeed.
We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our GOD. May the LORD grant all your request.
Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;
he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our GOD!
They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
O Lord, save the king! Answer us when we call!

Psalm 20,
king David
May this be your prayer too in this Chinese New Year..
Continue to trust in Him and may He grant your wish...
