Ithemba EbumnyameniIsampula
Yamukela
Akusho ukuphika. Ngiyakhetha nje iqiniso engilamukelayo.
—U-Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes
Ngezinye izikhathi, ngisho nalapho sikhumbula konke uNkulunkulu asenzele khona, akuzishintshi izimo zethu. Kwesinye isikhathi kufanele samukele ukuthi kungaphezu kokuqonda kwethu njengamanje futhi siqhubeke. Kodwa kufanele futhi siqaphele ukuthi ukwamukela akukona ukuphika.
Lapho wamukela lokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo, awumane nje ugxilise imizwa yakho phansi futhi uvumele inhliziyo yakho ife, njengoba ulolonga ukumamatheka kwakho esibukweni futhi ubambe ngekhanda amavesi eBhayibheli. Lapho wamukela ukuthi uNkulunkulu uphezu kokuthile ongakuboni noma ongakuqondi njengamanje, awuvele ugingqike udlale ofile bese ulahla ithemba. Cha, ulokhu uthandazela isimangaliso kuye ngaphandle uma ekutshela okuhlukile. Kodwa awuzenzi sengathi konke kuhamba kahle uma kusobala ukuthi akunjalo.
UHabakuki wayengenakukwazi ukuzenzisa futhi agcine ikhanda lakhe lisesihlabathini. Ngemva kokubuza uNkulunkulu imibuzo futhi uJehova waphendula ngokumtshela ukuthi wayezosebenzisa abaseBhabhiloni ababi ukuze abhubhise u-Israyeli, uHabakuki wathi, “Ngiyezwa, kuyathuthumela okuphakathi kwami, izindebe zami ziyaqhaqhazela ngenhlokomo; ukubola kungena emathanjeni ami.”—(UHabakuki 3:16).
Impendulo yakhe ingokwemvelo. Uyawazi lomuzwa oshona phakathi emathunjini akho lapho kwenzeka okuthile okubi okungaphezu kwamandla akho? Yilokho uHabakuki ayebhekene nakho.
Lapho uHabakuki amukela iqiniso ngenkathi elinde uNkulunkulu, akazange aphike. Kwakuwukholo. Hhayi ukukholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzokwenza lokho uHabakuki ayefuna uNkulunkulu akwenze. Kodwa ukholo esimeni sikaNkulunkulu. UHabakuki uqhubeka athi, “Isandla sikaNkulunkulu esibusayo senza okuthile lapha. UNkulunkulu ukhulumile, ngakho ngizokwamukela noma yini ayenzayo, nanjengoba kungase kube nzima kimina.”
Ngesinye isikhathi, kuzokwenzeka into ongayithandi. Kungenzeka ukuthi kuyenzeka njengamanje.
Uyakhumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenzeni. Uyakwamukela lokho uNkulunkulu akwenzayo. Uyakwethemba lokho uNkulunkulu azokwenza.
Thandaza: Nkulunkulu, angiqondi ukuthi kwenzakalani, kodwa ngiyavuma ukuthi ngandlela thize, nguwe olawulayo.
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.
