Indoda Ehlakaniphe Kakhulu

Enye yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli kwakunguSolomoni. Wayeyindodana kaDavide, owaziwa kakhulu eBhayibhelini. Lapho iNkosi uDavide ifa, ku-1 AmaKhosi 2:12 iyasitshela, “USolomoni waba yinkosi, wahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide uyise, nombuso wakhe waqiniswa.” 

Inkosi uSolomoni inedumela elikhulu—elinye lihle, elinye elingelihle kangako. Okuhle ukuthi wayemthanda ngempela uNkulunkulu futhi emdumisa. Okungekuhle ukuthi wayesakhonza onkulunkulu bamanga futhi wazigcina enamakhosikazi angu-700 nezancinza. Kodwa, naphezu kokungapheleli kwale nkosi, yenza into ekhumbulekayo kangangokuthi yasithola isiqu sokubizwa ngokuthi indoda ehlakaniphe kakhulu. 

Ku-1 AmaKhosi 3, kunendaba ngenkosi uSolomoni nephupho eyaliphupha. Kuleliphupho, UJEHOVA wabonakala kuye, wathi: Ufunani? Cela, ngizokunika!” ( 1 AmaKhosi 3:5 NLT)

UNkulunkulu wendawo yonke wabuza uSolomoni ukuthi wayefunani, futhi ngokusobala, wayengaphendula ngezindlela eziningi. Kodwa impendulo yakhe yayingajwayelekile. Waqala ngokudumisa uNkulunkulu futhi embonisa udumo. Ngemva kwalokho, wenza isicelo esimangalisayo ku-1 AmaKhosi 3:7-9:

Manje, Jehova Nkulunkulu wami, ungenze inkosi esikhundleni sikaDavide ubaba, kepha nginjengomntwana ongakwazi konke. bheka, ngiphakathi kwabakhethiweyo bakho, isizwe esikhulu nesingenakubalwa.” Ngiphe inhliziyo eqondayo ukuba ngibuse abantu bakho kahle, ngazi umehluko phakathi kokulungile nokungalungile...” 

Inhliziyo kaSolomoni yayimile ngempela ukuze ahole izwe, kodwa wayazi ukuthi udinga ukuhlakanipha okuvela kuNkulunkulu ukuze akwenze ngempumelelo. UNkulunkulu wayijabulela impendulo kaSolomoni ngoba wayengacela izinto ezihlukahlukene njengamandla, imali nodumo. Kodwa, akazange. Ngenxa yalokho, uNkulunkulu akagcinanga ngokumnika ukuhlakanipha okungaphezu kwalokho noma ubani ayenakho ngaphambili, futhi uNkulunkulu wamnika ingcebo nodumo. Ungakwazi ukucabanga lokho? 

Le ndaba iyisibonelo esihle sokuthi ukuhlakanipha kubaluleke kangakanani futhi kudingekile. Inkosi eyayibusa isizwe sonke yayingacela noma yini kuNkulunkulu, futhi into eyodwa eyayikhetha ukuhlakanipha. Wabona ukuthi ukuhlakanipha kwakungeke kucebise impilo yakhe kuphela, kodwa nezimpilo zabantu ayebahola. Ezweni lapho kubonakala kuxubene okuhle nokubi, ukuhamba ngokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu kuyosisiza senze izinqumo eziyosivikela futhi zisisekele. 

Cabanga ngempilo yakho nalokho okuthatha njengokubalulekile. Ingabe kuyingcebo yaleli zwe, noma ingabe kuwukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu ukuze uphile ukuphila kokunqoba lapha emhlabeni? Vele uthembeke kuNkulunkulu, futhi uma ungakuboni ukubaluleka kokuba nokuhlakanipha empilweni yakho, cela uNkulunkulu ukuthi akwambulele iqiniso Lakhe kuwe.
