Orang Benar Hidupnya Di Jamin Oleh Tuhan

Baca: Mazmur 37:12-26 

"Tuhan mengetahui hari-hari orang yang saleh, dan milik pusaka mereka akan tetap selama-lamanya;" (Mazmur 37:18)

Seiring berjalannya waktu keadaan dunia semakin hari semakin berubah secara drastis. Teknologi semakin mutakhir sehingga persaingan antarindividu kian ketat. Oleh karena itu tiap orang harus bisa meng-upgrade dirinya begitu rupa bila tidak ingin tertinggal. Karena tingginya tingkat persaingan yang ada, timbullah ketegangan-ketegangan yang mengakibatkan manusia mulai kehilangan jati dirinya. Banyak orang tidak lagi mengindahkan norma-norma yang ada, yang penting bisa survive! Bahkan tidak sedikit anak Tuhan yang akhirnya terbawa oleh arus dunia ini. Mereka beranggapan apabila tidak mengikuti arus yang ada mereka tidak akan berhasil. Padahal Tuhan menghendaki agar kita berani hidup melawan arus dunia, artinya tidak terbawa arus. Alkitab mengatakan, "Janganlah kamu menjadi serupa dengan dunia ini, tetapi berubahlah oleh pembaharuan budimu, sehingga kamu dapat membedakan manakah kehendak Allah:..." (Roma 12:2). Jadi kita harus bisa cerdik seperti ular dan tulus seperti merpati.

Ada yang perlu digarisbawahi, yaitu bahwa kehidupan orang benar ada dalam jaminan Tuhan, sebab "Tuhan menetapkan langkah-langkah orang yang hidupnya berkenan kepada-Nya;" (Mazmur 37:23). Ini berarti hidup mereka diberkati oleh Tuhan. Ingin berbahagia dan diberkati Tuhan? Andalkan Tuhan dalam segala hal dan berharaplah hanya kepadaNya (baca Yeremia 17:7). Oleh karena itu kita tidak perlu takut atau gelisah akan hari esok dan masa depan kita sebab rancangan Tuhan adalah rancangan damai sejahtera, bukan rancangan kecelakaan, untuk memberikan kepada kita hari depan yang penuh harapan (baca Yeremia 29:11). Bagi orang benar Salomo menegaskan, "...masa depan sungguh ada, dan harapanmu tidak akan hilang." (Amsal 23:18). Bukan hanya masa depan kita yang dijamin, Dia juga akan menyertai setiap langkah hidup kita. Dikatakan, "apabila ia jatuh, tidaklah sampai tergeletak, sebab Tuhan menopang tangannya." (Mazmur 37:24).

Jadi wujud penyertaan Tuhan tidak hanya berupa pertolongan pada waktu kita menghadapi persoalan, tetapi Dia juga akan meluputkan kita dari marabahaya. Jangan sekali-sekali berharap dan bergantung pada kekayaan yang kita miliki, karena harta di dunia ini hanya bersifat sementara dan dapat lenyap dalam sekejap.

Asal kita hidup benar, berkat dan penyertaan Tuhan pasti nyata.

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 ...
