Ibandla Elibonakalayo
Njengoba uSolomoni emi phambi kwethempeli elisha, ubuza lo mbuzo sonke esike sizibuze wona: “Kungenzeka yini ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzongena ngempela endaweni yethu?” ( 1 AmaKhosi 8:27).
Usolomon uhlaselwa yilokhu kungabaza, kodwa uyathandaza noma kunjalo. Uthandazela ukuba uNkulunkulu ezwe abantu lapho befika kulendlu futhi bathandaze, ukuthi uNkulunkulu azinakekele izidingo zabo ubusuku nemini, nokuthi uma ezwa abathethelele.
ukungabaza kuye kwaphindwa ngokuhlukahluka okuvela kuSolomoni kwehle kuze kufike kithi. Kodwa thina, njengoSolomoni, siye saqhubeka sathandaza noma kunjalo. ukuphikisa kwe komqondo kuNkulunkulu ohlezi emhlabeni endlini yokukhuleka, kuNkulunkulu ehlangana nathi endaweni yokukhuleka, akukwazanga ukusinda ebufakazini besipiliyoni nokholo. Phela, ukusebenzisa ingqondo kungenye yezivivinyo ezingokoqobo ezingathembekile kangako. Umbuzo othi "Kungenzeka yini?" iphendulwa ngesizathu esijulile, isipiliyoni esibanzi, nokholo olungokoqobo oluthi, “Yebo, impela!”
Emkhulukweni kaSolomoni kulesi siqephu, singabona izindawo ezintathu lapho okubonakalayo kuwumsele wokungabonakali, futhi kuyizindawo esisabambe iqhaza kuzo nanamuhla. Esokuqala sihlobene nomlando. Usolomoni uletha inkumbulo yokuhlangana okukhulu noNkulunkulu esikhathini esidlule. inkumbulo embi iwusongo emikhulekweni yethu.
Okwesibili kuhlobene nokuthethelela. Ngokujwayelekile sibheka imikhuleko yethu njengendlela yokwenza uNkulunkulu asebenze ngasohlangothini lwethu. Kodwa ibandla elibonakalayo liyabheka okumelene nalokho. intethelelo iyisikhathi sokuguquka emikhulekweni, ukuguquka kokufuna indlela yethu evela kuNkulunkulu ukuya ekunikeleni ukuphila kwethu kuye ukuze enze intando yakhe kukho.
Indawo yesithathu kukhulunywa ngayo nguSolomoni egameni elithi abokufika,elingase lihunyushwe nangokuthi “umfokazi.” lapho intshisekelo yethu iqondene nathi kuphela, imindeni yethu, kanye nemibuthano emincane yabantu esibaziyo, silahlekelwa uzwelo ebandleni elikhulu likaKristu kanye nomhlaba uKristu afuna ukuwenza ebudlelwaneni naye.
Izifundo ezintathu zikaSolomoni emikhulekweni zingafingqwa ngamagama amathathu: umlando (umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wesikhathi esidlule), ukuthethelela (iphuzu lokusuka kubumina liye entandweni kaNkulunkulu), bese abanye (noma abafokazi). Khuleka usebenzisa izwi elikhuluma kakhulu kuwe njengamanje.

Mayelana naloluHlelo
Sithemba ukuthi lezi zinkonzo ezinhlanu ezivela ku-Eugene Peterson zithatha ingqondo nenhliziyo yakho noma yikuphi lapho zingaya khona, njengoba ungazi ukuthi uMoya uzosebenzisani ukuze ukhuthaze noma uphonsele inselelo noma ududuze. Ungase ukhethe ukusebenzisa imibuzo ecatshangwayo ekupheleni kwenkonzo ngayinye ukuze wenze owakho umthandazo wosuku—ngokuqinisekile hhayi njengendawo yokugcina kodwa njengesiqalo sokufikayo okukulindele.
