Ukulinda uNkulunkuluIsampula

Koze kube nini, Nkosi?

Akekho othanda ukubambezeleka. Futhi akukho lutho olunciphisa ubuhlungu esibuzwayo njengoba izinsuku zidlula futhi siqhubeka nokuzabalaza ngamathemba ethu nokwesaba kwethu. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi amahora alahla izinhlelo zethu, izinsuku namasonto abangela ukungaqiniseki, noma iminyaka esiyichitha sizibuza ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyoke azigcwalise yini izithembiso Zakhe kithi, kungokomuntu ukuzizwa ekhungathekile, ekhathazekile, futhi sengathi amathemba ethu ayafa ngaphakathi kithina.

Kungani? Ngoba asikwazi ukulawula izimo zethu. Kukhona omunye umuntu obonakala evimbela intuthuko yethu—ukunquma ukuthi izikhathi ezincane esinikezwe zona kulokhu kuphila zizosetshenziswa kanjani futhi kusivimbela ekujabuleleni into eyodwa esicabanga ukuthi izosenza sijabule ngempela.

NjengoDavide siyakhala sithi: “Koze kube nini, Jehova? Uzongikhohlwa kuze kube phakade?” (AmaHuboHu13:1)

Angazi ukuthi yini oyilindele, kodwa ngiyazi ukuthi ubhalisele lolu hlelo lokufunda ngesizathu. Ngiyazi futhi ukuthi ukulinda uNkulunkulu kungesinye sezifundo okunzima kakhulu ukuzifunda. Ngicabanga ukuthi, njengoDavide, kunobuhlungu obuningi enhliziyweni yakho njengoba ulindile. Mhlawumbe uyesaba iNkosi isikhohliwe. Mhlawumbe awukwazi ukuzibamba kodwa uyazibuza, Kungani kungenzeki kimina? Yini engenza ngingafaneleki? Mngani, nakuba ngazi ukuthi kubuhlungu kakhulu kunalokho okungachazwa amagama, ngicela uqiniseke. ukuthi kuhlale kunethemba kuBaba wethu osezulwini. Njengoba uqhubeka nenkathi yakho yokulinda, kufanele uhlale ukhumbula lokho …

• UJehova akakulahlanga futhi akakukhohliwe. Usebenza endaweni engabonakali ngenxa yakho (Isaya 64: 4) - njalo ngomzuzu. Isibopho sakho ukubeka inhliziyo yakho Kuye futhi wethembe ukuthi impilo yakho iphephile ezandleni Zakhe ezinamandla onke nezinothando.
• Awugcini nje ngokulinda, ungenzi lutho. Njengoba ulindele ukuyala nokungenelela kukaBaba, qhubeka nokumkhonza njengoba wenza umsebenzi wakho wansuku zonke. Qhubeka ufuna, ulalele, futhi ube nobudlelwane obuseduze Naye—ngisho noma izimo zibonakala zingahambi ngendlela yakho. 
• Awuphuthelwa ngamathuba abalulekile. Kungase kubonakale sengathi kunjalo. Kodwa uma uNkulunkulu ethi “Cha” noma “Linda” mayelana nento ongase ube nayo phambi kwakho, methembe. Ungazami ukukwenza kwenzeke. Kunalokho, thembela ekuhlakanipheni Kwakhe okungenaphutha ukuze akuvikele ekukhetheni okungase kube nokulimaza wena ekugcineni.
• Awuwedwa. Wonke umuntu omaziyo ubhekene nokulibaziseka endaweni ethile noma kwenye. Yebo, ungase uqalaze ubone abantu bejabulela izibusiso ozifisayo. Ungase ucabange ukuthi uwena wedwa obhekene nenkinga ethile—okuwukuphela kwayo uBaba angazange akunikeze yona. Kodwa qaphela leyo micabango yokululazeka nokunqotshwa ivela esitheni sakho, esihlale sizama ukukuhlukanisa futhi sikubhubhise (1KaPetru 5:8-9)

Kuzo zonke izizwe, kunabantu abafana nawe, abalindele izibusiso ezifanayo futhi bezwa imizwa efanayo. Eqinisweni, kuyo yonke imiBhalo, ayikho indoda noma owesifazane uNkulunkulu amsebenzisa ngendlela enamandla ongazange aqale abhekane nesikhathi eside nesinzima sokulinda. Ngakho-ke ungalahli ithemba ... kuthathe njengomusa kaBaba okhethekile kanye nesiqondiso empilweni yakho.
