To be cautious is
to be wise especially when caution is necessary. Do not expose yourself to
unnecessary risks especially life threatening risks because you are a
Christian. Run when you have to run and stay when God says stay.
Jesus Christ Who is God took precaution to avoid being killed by the Jews. He stayed in Galilee and did his business there when he noticed that the Jews in Judea were determined to kill him before His time. Please read John Chapter 7 verses 1 to 13. He deliberately did not go to the feast with His family members so as to avoid being easily spotted; and even when He eventually went on His own, the Bible records that He avoided drawing any form of attention to Himself.
Saul attempted to
kill David on a number of occasions. Beloved, Saul’s desperation to kill David
knew no bounds. He tried every trick under the sun so he could kill David. Saul
also attempted to kill his own son Jonathan simply because Jonathan spoke up
for David. Please read 1st Samuel Chapter 20. David exercised caution when he realized that
Saul was determined to kill him. He ensured that he avoided any form of direct
contact or confrontation with Saul and the men Saul sent to kill him. He was
also careful to avoid every bobby trap that Saul set for him. Additionally, God
gave David wisdom to always run to safety. Though David was privileged to kill
Saul and his body guards, David refrained himself from doing so because he
feared God.
Though Saul was King, David could have killed him easily. But David chose to be wise and was cautious. He consistently ran for his dear life and this turned out to be a great lifesaving strategy for David. Why? A desperately determined Saul even turned against the priest hood and killed eighty five men of the priest hood as well as the other inhabitants of Nob because Ahimelech the Priest granted David audience and gave him bread. Please read 1st Samuel Chapter 22.
God instructed
Joseph and Mary to take Baby Jesus to safety; away from Herod who murdered all
babies born within that period simply because the wise men informed him that
they had come to see the new born King. Joseph and Mary alongside Baby Jesus
escaped to Egypt and only returned to Israel after the death of Herod.
