Renungan Jadilah Orang Yang Berhikmat

Baca: Amsal 9:1-18

“Permulaan hikmat adalah takut akan Tuhan, dan mengenal Yang Mahakudus adalah pengertian.” (Amsal 9:10)

Ayat nas di atas menyatakan, setiap orang yang memiliki hati takut akan Tuhan akan mendapatkan hikmat. Jadi kunci memiliki hikmat adalah ketaatan kita melakukan perintah-perintah Tuhan. Pandangan orang dunia berbeda. Sebagian besar berpendapat bahwa orang yang memiliki hikmat adalah orang yang memiliki gelar tinggi atau telah menyelesaikan pendidikan sampai tingkat yang tertinggi, apalagi yang lulus dari luar negeri. Orang yang berpendidikan tinggi belum tentu memiliki hikmat, yang ia miliki adalah ilmu pengetahuan dan keahlian.

Alkitab menegaskan bahwa hikmat itu sendiri hanya dapat diperoleh apabila kita takut akan Tuhan: “Berbahagialah orang yang mendapat hikmat, orang yang memperoleh kepandaian, karena keuntungannya melebihi keuntungan perak, dan hasilnya melebihi emas.” (Amsal 3:13-14). Hikmat yang dimaksud adalah wahyu dari Tuhan. Orang dunia tentunya tidak pernah memikirkan tentang wahyu Tuhan ini.

Sebagai orang percaya, di dalam diri kita ada Roh Kudus, dan “...Dialah yang akan mengajarkan segala sesuatu...” (baca Yohanes 14:26). Sayang, seringkali kita mengingini hikmat dari Tuhan namun kita tidak hidup dalam ketaatan sehingga Roh Kudus undur dari kita, padahal Roh Kuduslah yang memberikan hikmat. Bukan berarti kita tidak perlu sekolah tinggi atau menggunakan akal pikiran kita, tetapi yang lebih utama adalah kita harus selalu mengandalkan hikmat dari Tuhan, jangan hanya membanggakan kepandaian dan keahlian kita saja sebab di luar Tuhan kita tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa.

Daud, dalam keluarga kurang dianggap dan diremehkan. Ia pun hanya sebagai gembala domba. Daud mengakui, “aku dungu dan tidak mengerti, seperti hewan aku di dekatMu. Dengan nasihatMu Engkau menuntun aku, dan kemudian Engkau mengangkat aku ke dalam kemuliaan.” (Mazmur 73:22, 24). Sedangkan kakak-kakaknya dinilai lebih punya potensi, pintar dan berpostur ideal di pemandangan manusia. Tapi Daud mempunyai nilai lebih yaitu senantiasa takut akan Tuhan dan karib denganNya sehingga kuasa Roh Allah yang dahsyat bekerja dalam diri Daud, menjadikan dirinya sebagai pribadi yang luar biasa dan istimewa. Alhasil, ketika Goliat bertekuk lutut, pada saat yang tepat Daud pun menjadi raja atas Israel.

Dalam pimpinan Roh Kudus kita dapat menjalani hidup ini dengan penuh hikmat sehingga Allah dapat bekerja melalui diri kita!

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 ...
