** Firman Tuhan: Mazmur 10:6 **
"[Orang fasik] berkata dalam hatinya: Aku takkan goyang. Aku tidak akan ditimpa malapetaka turun temurun.."
Siapa sih orang fasik itu? Pertanyaan menarik itu terlontar dalam sebuah pertemuan di kantor. Apakah orang fasik sama dengan orang yang tidak percaya Tuhan? Apakah orang fasik identik dengan orang jahat? Apakah ada orang kristiani yang bisa disebut fasik?
Pada dasarnya orang fasik adalah orang yang congkak, merasa ia tahu apa yang baik (Mazmur 10:2-3, 6). Hukum-hukum Allah tidak relevan baginya (Mazmur 10:5). Ia melakukan segala sesuatu sesuai dorongan hatinya, tanpa berpikir tentang apa yang menjadi kehendak Allah, apa yang memuliakan Allah, bagaimana ia harus bergantung kepada Allah. Ia bukan orang yang ateis, tetapi ia hidup seolah-olah Allah tidak ada, tidak melihat, dan tidak akan menuntut pertanggungjawaban atas hidupnya (Mazmur 10:4, 11). Dalam bagian-bagian lain di Alkitab kita bisa melihat bahwa para pemimpin rohani pun bisa terjebak dalam dosa kefasikan (Yeremia 23:11).
Seberapa sering kita berpikir tentang Allah dan kehendak-Nya dalam menjalani hidup? Kita bisa beribadah beberapa jam lalu melanjutkan hidup seolah-olah Dia tidak melihat. Kita bisa melakukan banyak hal yang baik tanpa memikirkan Allah sama sekali. Kita jarang berpikir tentang tanggung jawab kita kepada Pencipta kita dalam bekerja. Kita merasa cukup baik karena tidak melakukan dosa-dosa besar. Kita tidak tertarik membangun relasi yang intim dengan Allah. Dalam derajat tertentu, kita pun bisa berlaku fasik sehingga pola pikir dan perilaku kita tidak banyak berbeda dengan orang-orang yang belum mengenal Allah. Kefasikan memberi ruang bagi dosa-dosa lain untuk bertumbuh. Waspadalah!
HINDARKAN DIRI DARI KEFASIKAN DENGAN MENYADARI BAHWA ALLAH HADIR
DAN TERLIBAT DALAM HIDUP KITA SETIAP HARI.

** Scripture: Psalm 10:6 **
"[The wicked] said to himself: I will not shake. Overwritten misfortune I will not hereditary .."
Who the hell is the wicked? The interesting question came out in a meeting at the office. Do the same with the wicked people who do not believe in God? Is synonymous with wicked bad guy? Are there any Christians who can be called wicked?
Basically the wicked is the proud, feels he knows what is good (Psalm 10:2-3, 6). God's laws are not relevant for him (Psalm 10:5). He does everything according impulsively, without thinking about what the will of God, what is glorifying God, how he had to depend on God. He was not an atheist, but he lives as if God does not exist, do not see, and will not answer for his life (Psalm 10:4, 11). In other parts of the Bible we can see that the spiritual leaders can get caught up in sin wickedness (Jeremiah 23:11).
How often do we think about God and His will in life? We can worship a few hours and then continued to live as if He does not see. We can do a lot of good things without thinking about God at all. We rarely think about our responsibility to our Creator in the works. We feel pretty good because it does not commit major sins. We are not interested in building an intimate relationship with God. In a certain degree, we can also act wickedly so our mindset and behavior is not much different from those who do not know God. Wickedness make room for the sins of others to grow. Beware!
