Lalela
Lalela impilo yakho. Zonke izikhathi ziyizikhathi ezibalulekile.

Thembeka kuwe ngokwakho. Ugcine nini ukuhlala futhi uvele ube nengxoxo yangempela, ebukhoma nomunye umuntu, lapho nishintshana khona futhi nilalela ngobuqotho abakushoyo? Awekho amadivayisi. Ayikho i-TV. Awukho umculo. Azikho iziphazamiso.
Akumangalisi ukuthi kunzima kangaka kithi ukulalela uNkulunkulu.
Njengoba sifunda kuHabakuki 1, ngesibindi wabuza uNkulunkulu yonke imibuzo enzima ngempela eyayisenhliziyweni yakhe. Kunzima ukuthanda umuntu—ngisho noMdali Wendawo Yonke—uma ubamba amagqubu futhi ufihla imizwa yakho yangempela. Ngokusobala uHabakuki wayemthanda uNkulunkulu, kodwa lokho akuzange kumvimbe ekuphonseni inselelo ngenhlonipho uNkulunkulu ngesicelo sokumsiza aqonde igebe elikhulu phakathi kwalokho ayekukholelwa nalokho ayekubona macala onke akhe .
Kuthe umphrofethi eseqedile ukubuza imibuzo yakhe, wabona ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokulalela. Kunjalo nakuwe. UHabakuki wabhala: “Ngizokuma ewashini lami, ngime phezu kwenqaba; Ngizobheka ukubona ukuthi uzothini kimi nokuthi yini engingayiphendula kulokhu kukhononda.” ( UHabakuki 2:1, ukugcizelela okwami). Ngiyazithanda lezi zithombe. Ngizoma ewashini lami ngibuke ukuze ngibone ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzothini kimi. Kwesinye isikhathi isizathu esenza singazitholi izimpendulo zemibuzo yethu ukuthi asizimisele ukuma kancane futhi silinde isikhathi eside ukuthi uNkulunkulu azembule kithi.
Umlobi weHubo 46:10 ucaphuna uNkulunkulu: “Thula, wazi ukuthi mina nginguNkulu
UNkulunkulunkulu.”Qaphela ukuthi uNkulunkulu akazange athi: "yibamatasatasa, futhi wazi ukuthi nginguNkulunkulu."
Wathi: “Thula.” Yiba. Nokuthula. Futhi lalela.
Umlalela kanjani uNkulunkulu ngempela? Ungakwazi ukuvula iZwi lakhe futhi uvumele uMoya wakhe ulethe iqiniso ekuphileni. UNkulunkulu ukhuluma ngezimo, uma ume isikhathi eside ngokwanele ukuzindla. Ukhuluma esebenzisa abantu, enikeza ukuhlakanipha kwaphezulu okuvela ezulwini. Futhi angakhuluma nawe ngqo ngoMoya wakhe. Uma ungowakhe, uchithe isikhathi naye, futhi uthule phambi kwakhe, uzofunda ukulazi izwi lakhe.
Mhlawumbe ubucela kuNkulunkulu lokho okudingayo. Lokho kunengqondo ngokuphelele; UNkulunkulu ufuna sifinyelele kuye. Kodwa ingabe uzimisele ukulalela lokho azokusho kuwe, ngisho noma ngabe impendulo yakhe ingeyikho lokhu ofuna ukukuzwa? Qhubeka ulalele. UNkulunkulu ngeke akushiye ngesikhathi sokuswela kwakho; uzokubamba ngokuqinisela akuthwale ebuhlungwini bakho.
Thandaza: Nkulunkulu, ngilungele ukulalela. Zithini izinhlelo zakho kulesi simo? Ngingakhula kanjani kulokhu?
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Lolu Hlelo LweBhayibheli olwanoma ubani ozwa ubuhlungu futhi ongaqondi ukuthi kungani. Uma ulahlekelwe okuthile, othile, noma ukholo lwakho luzwakala luntengantenga kwaze kwaba seqophelweni lokuphuka, khona-ke lolu Hlelo LweBhayibheli Oluvela encwadini kaMfundisi weLife.Church uCraig Groeschel, Hope in the Dark, ingase ibe yilokho kanye okudingayo. Uma ufuna ukukholwa, kodwa ungaqiniseki ukuthi kanjani, lokhu kungokwakho.
