Funa uNkulunkulu KukhoIsampula

Ukuthula kukaNkulunkulu kuyisithembiso, futhi zonke izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu zihambisana nesimiso. Kumele sizifundise ukungakhathazeki. IBhayibheli likhuluma ngezinto ezimbili ezibalulekile ngokuthula lithi: Ukuthula okudlula ukuqonda konke (KwabaseFilipi 4:7) nokuthula okuphelele (Isaya 26:3).

Uma sifunda lawa mavesi akhuthazayo ngaphandle kokuqonda ukuthi singaphila kanjani ngawo, sibuyela ngokushesha kulokho esikwaziyo: ukukhathazeka.

UPawulu usitshela ukuthi singakhathazeki noma sidumazeke nganoma yini. Esikweni lethu lokuqwashisa ngempilo yengqondo namuhla, izitatimende zakhe zingase zibonakale ziwubuwula noma ziphelelwe yisikhathi. Kodwa-ke uthi, kukho konke. Kungabi ezinye izinto, kodwa zonke izicelo zenu mazaziwe nguNkulunkulu ngokukhuleka nokunxusa kanye nokubonga. (KwabaseFilipi 4:6 KJV)

Kulapho kuphela senza lokho okushiwo umbhalo ukuthi ukuthula kukaNkulunkulu okudlula konke ukuqonda kwamandla ethu engqondo kuyolinda izinhliziyo zethu nezingqondo zethu kuKristu Jesu.

Ukudlula, ngesiGrikhi, kusho ukwenza kahle futhi udlulele ngale. Lokhu kusho ukuthi lokhu kuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu kudlula ukuqonda kwethu. Lokhu kusho ukuthula Kwakhe, angakunika Yena kuphela, akwenzi umqondo womuntu noma wemvelo. Hhayi lokho kuphela, kodwa abaqaphi Bakhe bokuthula—njengodonga lokuvikela noma isofthiwe yokuvikela amagciwane yenza kkhompuyutha—izinhliziyo zethu, kanye nezingqondo kuKristu Jesu. Ukuthula kwakhe kuvimbela amagciwane kulo mhlaba azama ukusidikibalisa.

Ukuphela kwendlela yokwenza lesi sithembiso sisebenze ngokukholwa ukuthi lapho sithandaza futhi sibeka izinkathazo zethu phambi kukaJesu, uNkulunkulu akagcini nje ngokusizwa kodwa uzonikeza impumuzo ngesimo sokuthula Kwakhe okudlula ukuqonda.
