Ukukhokha Isikweletu Lapho Sidingeka Khona
“Ukwazi” ngokomqondo weBhayibheli kuyinto esondelene kakhulu. Kusho ukuzizwisa. Akulona nje ulwazi lwekhanda, ukuvuma kwengqondo, noma ukuma kwemisipha. UJohane 8:32 uthi, ‘Niyolazi iqiniso futhi iqiniso liyonikhulula.’ Uyahlanganyela; uhlangabezana nempilo futhi ukwenze kube "ngumlando." Ngakho-ke, imfundiso yenkolo yakho iba ngumlando wakho. — ngu-Tim Hansel, Umjuluko Ongcwele
Kuso sonke lesi sikhathi besibheka izici ezehlukene zokuthi ungubani uNkulunkulu uBaba, sikhuluma ngalokho afuna ukukwenza ezimpilweni zethu, futhi sibheka ukuthi ufuna senzeni Kuye. Lezi yizinto ezibalulekile okufanele ube nazo ekhanda lakho…
Kodwa into ayigcini lapho.
Kuyinto eyodwa ukwazi zonke lezi zinto emakhanda ethu (ukwazi izinto mayelana noNkulunkulu), kodwa kungaba usizi uma singelokothe sidlulele ngale kwalokho! Isambulo sikaNkulunkulu sivusa ukusabela enhliziyweni yalabo abazwelayo ekuholeni Kwakhe. Lapho uMose ethola isambulo sikaNkulunkulu, wazibona elingana noNkulunkulu ayemazi manje. Futhi wasabela kanjani?
UMose wakhothama phansi ngaso leso sikhathi, wakhuleka. (Eksodusi 34:8)
Wabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyatuswa.
UMose wadumisa uNkulunkulu ngomphefumulo wakhe wonke. Kwakungeyona nje into ayeyazi ekhanda lakhe. Wayebona uNkulunkulu ngendlela ephawulekayo, emazi mathupha. Akugcini nje ngokusibeka endaweni yethu noNkulunkulu endaweni Yakhe, futhi kuguqula izinhliziyo zethu futhi kujulise ulwazi lwethu lokusondelana ngokomoya noMdali wethu.
Emva kokuba uMose emdumise, uNkulunkulu waqala ukuzibonakalisa kwabanye ngoMose. UNkulunkulu wayezembulile njengoBaba. UMose wayezibona eseyingane. Bahamba kanyekanye eqinisweni kube udumo lukaNkulunkulu.
Baba, noma nini lapho ngithola ithuba lokufunda okwengeziwe Ngawe, ngithandazela ukuthi uthathe lokhu engikufaka ekhanda lami futhi ukuyise enhliziyweni yami. Yenza lokhu kube YINQOBO empilweni yami. Ngifuna ukuzwa ngawe nsuku zonke! Ngiyakuthanda, futhi Ufanele LONKE udumo lwami! Ameni.
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Safundiswa kusukela ekuqaleni ukuthi uNkulunkulu unguBaba wethu futhi singabantwana Bakhe. Kodwa ukuhlobana noNkulunkulu njengoBaba akulula ngaso sonke isikhathi—ikakhulukazi uma obaba bethu basemhlabeni bezabalaza ukukhombisa uthando ebesilulangazelela. Kulolu cwaningo lwezinsuku ezingu-16, uPete Briscoe udonsela ukunaka kwethu kuNkulunkulu owenelisa konke ukulangazelela kwethu uthando—egqamisa indlela umBhalo uwembula ngayo ukuthi unguBaba wethu olungileyo nophelele.
