Usuku Lwesibili: Ukusebenza kahle Kubonisa Umzamo kanye nesimo sengqondo

Nezelani ukholo lwenu ngokuphana kokuziphatha okuhle, nokuziphatha okuhle ngolwazi” (2 KaPetru 1:5 NLT).

Uma ucabanga ngobuhle, yini efika emqondweni wakho? Ingabe ucabanga ngokubizayo? Mhlawumbe ucabanga okungcono kokuthile. Noma ungase ucabange nokungabi nazimbangi. Ungasho ukuthi uLeBron James muhle kakhulu ku-basketball? Noma uBill Gates usezingeni eliphezulu kwezamabhizinisi? Ingabe ungumfundi omuhle kakhulu, umzali, isisebenzi, umsubathi? Uhlu lungaqhubeka.

USolomoni indodana yeNkosi uDavide wayemuhle kuzo zonke izindlela zakhe. Idumela lakhe lokuhlakanipha lasabalala yonke indawo. Waduma kakhulu ngobuhle bakhe kangangokuthi iNdlovukazi yaseSheba yahamba ibanga elide izozibonela mathupha. Ku-1 AmaKhosi 10:4–5, unikeze lokhu kuhlola: 

Indlovukazi yaseSheba isibonile konke ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni, nendlu ayakhileyo, nokudla kwetafula lakhe, nokuhlala kwezinceku zakhe, nokukhonza kwezinceku zakhe, nezingubo zazo, nabaphathizitsha bakhe, nezinceku zakhe. iminikelo yokushiswa ayinikela endlini kaJehova, Yakhangeka kakhulu (Inguqulo i-ESV iyagcizelela).

Ingabe indlovukazi yahlatshwa umxhwele ingcebo enkulu kaSolomoni? Impela ingcebo yakhe yayinkulu, kodwa okwammangaza ngempela yindlela ayeziphatha ngayo nombuso wakhe. Imizamo kaSolomoni yathela izithelo zobuhle. Ubuhle abukho ngemali; kumayelana nokuhlakanipha okubonakala endleleni esenza ngayo ibhizinisi lethu. Ibonisa ukuqonda, okubonakala ezimweni zethu zengqondo nasemizamweni yethu. Kalula nje, ukwenza kahle kakhulu ukwenza okungcono kakhulu ngalokho esinakho kuzo zonke izimo—sisebenzisa ngokugcwele amathalenta nezinsiza uNkulunkulu asinike zona.

Ku-1 AmaKhosi 3:5, “UJehova wabonakala kuSolomoni ngephupho ebusuku, futhi uNkulunkulu wathi, ‘Cela lokhu engingakunika kona’” (ESV). Manje, ungacabanga uNkulunkulu eza kuwe nesheke elingenalutho futhi akunike lelo thuba? Kodwa uSolomoni wenzani? Akazange acele ingcebo noma ukunqoba izitha zakhe. Esikhundleni salokho, uSolomoni wacela “ingqondo eqondileyo yokubusa abantu bakho, ukuze ngihlukanise phakathi kokuhle nokubi.” (1 AmaKhosi 3:9). Ngenxa yalokho, ukubusa kukaSolomoni kwaphawuleka ngobuhle iNdlovukazi yaseSheba eyakuzwa futhi yazibonela ngawayo amehlo.

Ubuhle buqhathaniswa nokuthonya okuningi okuhlobene nokukhanya kwesibani. Uma ufuna ukuba nesibani esikhanyayo, uzodinga amanzi amaningi. Futhi uma ufuna ukuba nethonya elikhulu, khona-ke yiba muhle kakhulu kuyo yonke imizamo yakho. UNkulunkulu ukubizela ebuhleni. Ulindele ukuthi usebenzise iziphiwo kanye namathalenta akunike wona ukuze ubonise futhi ukhiqize ubuhle ngenxa yenkazimulo Yakhe.

Cabanga: Uma ukuphelela kungelona izinga lobuhle, ungasho ukuthi kuyini? Chaza ubuhle ngamazwi akho. Ungakuphishekela kanjani ukwenza kahle empilweni yakho?

Nkulunkulu oNgcwele, Ngifuna ukukhuthala kuyo yonke imizamo yami. Khulisa isifiso sokwenza kahle kimi. Shintsha inhliziyo nengqondo yami ibonise izifiso zakho. Egameni likaJesu, Ameni.
