UNathani Ukhuza UDavide 

Indaba eseBhayibhelini yeNkosi uDavide ku-2 Samuweli 11 igcwele ukushaqeka, impikiswano, kanye nesono. Njengoba sifunda, singabona inhlekelele iqhele ngekhilomitha futhi sizithola sifuna ukumemeza, “Hhawu, Davide, ungambheki! Ushadile! Lokhu ngeke kuhambe kahle!” Kodwa, esingakwenza nje ukubukela le ndaba yenzeka futhi sibone ukuthi izimpilo eziningi zonakala ngenxa yesenzo somuntu oyedwa sobugovu. Ukuhlangana kukaDavide noBati Sheba kwakungavinjelwa ukuba wayesendaweni efanele ngesikhathi esifanele. 

Uma sicwile esonweni sethu, kuvame ukuba nzima ngathi ukubona ukuthi silapho ngoba sijule kakhulu kuso. Futhi yilapho kanye isitha sethu esingokomoya sifuna ukuba sihlale khona. Ungubaba nomsunguli wawo wonke amanga, pho kungani engeke afune ukuthi sihlale kuwo? Yilapho ukuba nabantu abalungile ezimpilweni zethu kubalulekile. 

INkosi uDavide yayinendoda emesaba uNkulunkulu uNathani ekuphileni kwayo. UNathani wayengumprofethi futhi wakhuluma iqiniso kuDavide. Wasibona isimo sikaBhati-sheba futhi waqaphela ukuthi uDavide wayekhohliswe ngokuphelele. UNathani kwadingeka enze okuthile ukuze amnake, ngakho wamxoxela indaba (2 Samuweli 12:2-4). Njengoba uNathani ehlanganyela naye, uDavide wathukuthela wagana unwabu futhi wayefuna ukwenza le ndoda ikhokhe ngesenzo sayo. Ngaleso sikhathi uNathani waphendula wathi: “Wena uyilowo muntu!” Waqhubeka futhi amavesi ambalwa kamuva, uDavide waphendula wathi: “Ngonile kuJehova” (2 Samuweli 12:13).

Ingxenye enhle kule ndaba embi ukuthi uDavide akazange azivikele ekukhuzeni kukaNathani. Akazange abeke izaba, futhi akenzanga sengathi kwakungeyona into enkulu. UNathani wazisa uDavide isono sakhe, wasibona isono sakhe, futhi waphenduka phambi kukaNkulunkulu wakhe. 

Sonke singena ezimeni okungafanele sibe kuzo. Kwesinye isikhathi, siyavilapha ngokomoya nangokokuziphatha futhi sizithole sisendleleni okungafanele siyihambe. Ngezinye izikhathi, sicwila ngekhanda kuqala esonweni futhi sijabulele umzuzu ngamunye waso. Kungakhathaleki ukuthi singena kanjani esonweni, ngokuvamile senza izinto esingakaze sicabange ukuthi singazenza. Kubalulekile ukuthi singaphili esonweni. Futhi indlela engcono kakhulu yokugwema lokhu ukuba nabantu abalungile ezimpilweni zethu. 

Abangani abangesabi ukumemeza izono zethu.
Abangani abazosisiza senze izinqumo ezihloniphekile.
Abangani abasithandazelayo futhi kanye nathi.
Abangani abangavumelani nathi ngaso sonke isikhathi.
Abangani abasekela umshado wethu nomndeni wethu. 
Abangani abasibekela inselelo yokuthi sifane noJesu kakhulu.

Sidinga amathonya okuhlonipha uNkulunkulu ezimpilweni zethu ngoba ashoda kakhulu. Umphakathi ugcwele amathonya angalungile, ngakho-ke kudingeka siqiniseke ukuthi abantu abakhuluma kakhulu ekuphileni kwethu bangabantu abanamandla, isimilo sokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu kanye nekhampasi yokuziphatha esekelwe eZwini likaNkulunkulu.
