Safe vs Secure

"No one assure walking as Christian will be a safe journey to go, but it surely SECURE because God is within you." 

Seperti Daud yang berani untuk nantangin Goliat, it's not a safe decision, it's a suicide decision for most of all the people but not for David. It's not safe, but David felt SECURE in God because he knows God is fighting for him.

1 Samuel 17:45 Tetapi Daud berkata kepada orang Filistin itu: "Engkau mendatangi aku dengan pedang dan tombak dan lembing, tetapi aku mendatangi engkau dengan nama TUHAN semesta alam, Allah segala barisan Israel yang kautantang itu.

Seperti kisah Gideon melawan musuhnya hanya dengan 300 tentara, seperti kisah Yusuf untuk beranjak mencapai janji yang Tuhan kasih buat dia, seperti kisah Musa yang disuruh ngadep Firaun untuk bawa Israel pergi, seperti kisah Yosua merebut tanah kanaan dan seperti banyak lainnya kasus di Alkitab yang kelihatannya riskan dan gak aman, tapi cuma satu kesimpulannya yang sama yang dilakukan oleh semua tokoh tersebut, they just have the fully obedience and be secure in God because they all know God is with them.

Is God telling you something to do, something to say, somewhere to go which seems not safe for you, which seems illogical for you? What will we choose? Safety? or Secureness in God? If we're looking for safety, we might end up pleasing people, pleasing ourselves, pleasing our ego, pleasing our comfort zone. But if you choose secure, you will not care about what people think and say as long as you just want to obey what God tells you.

ps: currently listening to 'the more I seek You' by Steffany Frizzel
