Keberhasilan Menyertai Hidup Orang Benar

Baca: Mazmur 20:1-10

"Kiranya diberikan-Nya kepadamu apa yang kau kehendaki dan dijadikan-Nya berhasil apa yang kaurancangkan." (Mazmur 20:5)

Dalam Yeremia 29:11 jelas dikatakan bahwa rancangan Tuhan bagi orang percaya adalah rancangan damai sejahtera dan masa depan yang penuh harapan. Namun janji Tuhan ini Ia sediakan bagi orang-orang yang hidupnya benar dan berkenan kepadaNya. Oleh karena itu kita harus memiliki iman bahwa jika kita hidup dalam Tuhan dengan benar dan kudus, keberhasilan akan menjadi milik kita, bahkan apa saja yang kita perbuat pasti berhasil.

Jika sampai saat ini kita lebih banyak mengalami kegagalan daripada keberhasilan, atau sepertinya janji Tuhan itu serasa menjauh dari kehidupan kita, adalah bijak bila kita segera mengoreksi diri sendiri terlebih dahulu sebelum kita bersungut-sungut, mengeluh lalu menyalahkan Tuhan. Sudahkah kita memiliki persekutuan yang karib dengan Tuhan serta beribadah kepadaNya dengan sungguh? Setiakah kita mengerjakan apa yang dipercayakan Tuhan? Sudahkah kita meninggalkan kehidupan lama kita, sebagaimana tertulis dalam 1 Petrus 2:1 "Karena itu buanglah segala kejahatan, segala tipu muslihat dan segala macam kemunafikan, kedengkian dan fitnah." Yang pasti, keberhasilan adalah rancangan Tuhan bagi orang percaya yang senantiasa mengandalkan Tuhan dalam segala hal dan memiliki kehidupan yang seturut dengan firmanNya.

Keberhasilan apakah itu? Dikatakan, "Ia seperti pohon, yang ditanam di tepi aliran air, yang menghasilkan buahnya pada musimnya, dan yang tidak layu daunnya; apa saja yang diperbuatnya berhasil." (Mazmur 1:3). Inilah janji Tuhan bagi orang benar: apa saja yang diperbuat atau kerjakan, pasti berhasil. Amin! Dalam hal apa pun kita akan mengalami peningkatan dari hari ke hari: toko makin diberkati, karir makin naik, studi berhasil dan lain-lain. Bila kita diberkati maka dipastikan "...lumbung-lumbungmu akan diisi penuh sampai melimpah-limpah, dan bejana pemerahanmu akan meluap dengan air buah anggurnya." (Amsal 3:10). Semakin diberkati semakin kita menjadi berkat bagi orang lain! Semakin diberkati berarti kita memiliki banyak kesempatan berbuat baik, menolong yang lemah dan miskin, serta mendukung pelayanan pekabaran Injil. Jadi, "Muliakanlah Tuhan dengan hartamu..." (Amsal 3:9).

Keberhasilan senantiasa mengikuti perjalanan hidup orang percaya, asal kita dengan sungguh-sungguh mengasihi Dia dan hidup berkenan kepadaNya!

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
