Ngokholo
Thatha isinyathelo sokuqala okholweni. Awudingi ukubona zonke izitebhisi, vele uthathe isinyathelo sokuqala.
—Umartin Luther King Jr.
Uma kuziwa okholweni, kuzoba nokulinda okuhilelekile. Ngiyayithanda indlela uC.S. Lewis akubeka ngayo: “Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi uNkulunkulu akagcini muntu olindile ngaphandle kwalapho ebona ukuthi kuhle ukuba alinde.” Singamethemba uNkulunkulu ukuthi uzosenzela okungcono kakhulu ngesikhathi esifanele.
Ngisho nalapho siphoqeleka ukuthi silinde, uNkulunkulu uvame ukuqinisa izithembiso zakhe kithi futhi asikhumbuza ukuba khona kwakhe. Kungase kube ngeZwi lakhe, ngokuhleba, ngomuntu, noma ngokukholwa kwethu ngokholo ukuthi unathi.
Uma ufuna ukuqinisa ukholo lwakho, ayikho enye indawo engingayibheka kangcono kunencwadi yamaHebheru. Lapho, esahlukweni 11, sithola Uhlu lwababeno Kholo, uhlu lwabantu abaningi ababezabalaza, balinda, baphila ngokholo, futhi babona izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu zigcwaliseka. Lapho sithola abantu bedlula ezintweni ezingakholakali—izilingo ezibonakala zingenakwenzeka—futhi ekugcineni behlangabezana nezinga elisha lokusondelana noNkulunkulu nakuba bebona amandla akhe amaningi.
Ngokholo, uNowa walalela uNkulunkulu futhi wakha umkhumbi, wasindisa umndeni wakhe.
Ngokholo, u-Abrahama noSara bathola indodana uNkulunkulu ayebathembise yona, nakuba base bedlule iminyaka yokuzala. Ngokukholwa uJosefa wanqoba ukukhashelwa, ubugqila, ukumangalelwa ngamanga nokuboshwa ukuze asindise isizwe sakwa-Israyeli. Ngokholo, abantu bakaNkulunkulu baphuma eGibhithe futhi badabula uLwandle Olubomvu njengoba lwaluhlukana nhlangothi zombili. Ngokukholwa ama-Israyeli abhoda imiduli yeJeriko, izindonga zadilika.
Laba kwakungebona abantu abaphelele—obakude kakhulu kunakho, eqinisweni. Bonke babenemizabalazo nokungabaza, amaphutha nokungathembeki kwabo, amaphutha abo kanye nobuthakathaka babo, kodwa baphikelela okholweni lwabo futhi balindela uNkulunkulu kaningi.
Ngokukholwa, uzodlula kulokhu.
Cabanga ngakho: ukube ubusucabange konke, ubungeke udinge ukholo. Ungaphila kalula ngokuqonda kwakho. Ngengqondo yakho, kodwa hhayi ngokukholwa. Kodwa uma kukhona ongakuqondi, lokho kukunikeza ithuba eliyingqayizivele lokujulisa ukholo lwakho.
U-Oswald Chambers uthe, “Ukholo luwukuqiniseka ngamabomu ngesimilo sikaNkulunkulu ongase ungaqondi izindlela zakhe ngaleso sikhathi.”
Thandaza: Nkulunkulu, ingabe uzokhulisa ukholo lwami ngaphezu kwesidingo sami sokuthola yonke into?
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.
