Thola i AppU-Ruthe, Indaba yokuHlengwaIsampula
Ukubuyela Eluhlinzekweni
Kuyakhuthaza kakhulu ukwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungakithi, ungakithi, futhi uyasithanda. Kukho konke, kungakhathaleki ukuthi sizizwa sidabukisa kanjani noma ukuphila kungase kubonakale kudumaza, iqiniso lihlala liwukuthi akukho lutho olungasehlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu.
Izindaba ezimbalwa zenza lesi sithombe sibe ngcono kunesikaNawomi noRuthe. Namuhla sibathola bengabafelokazi bobabili; abesifazane ababili bekhala ngokulahlekelwa amadoda abathandayo, bebodwa esizweni esibi. Nokho, izinto sezizoshintsha ezimpilweni zabo. ngolunye usuku uNawomi uzwa ukuthi umusa kaNkulunkulu ubuyile eBhetlehema nokuthi ukudla sekuyatholakala futhi “endlini yesinkwa.” Cishe ngesinyathelo esisheshayo, uNawomi unquma ukubuyela emzini wakubo nakubantu.
Ekuqaleni, bobabili u-Orpa noRuthe banquma ukuya eBhetlehema noNawomi. Kungekude kakhulu ohambweni, uNawomi ubonakala ewushintsha umqondo ngokuba nabangani bakhe. Ngokuphuthuma kukaNawomi, u-Orpa ubuyela kwaMowabi. URuthe wenza ukukhetha okuhlukile. URuthe wenza isinqumo sokulandela uNkulunkulu futhi sibona ukuguquka kwangempela endleleni eya eBhetlehema.
Laba besifazane ababili baqhubeka nohambo lwabo baze bafike eBhetlehema. Lapho benza kanjalo, iBhayibheli lithi umuzi wonke wanyakaza. Kubonakala sengathi uNawomi nomndeni wakhe baziwa kakhulu lapho. Lapho ebuya ngemva kokuhamba, abesifazane basedolobheni baphithizela lapho kubuya uNawomi.
Lapho ebuzwa ukuthi ungubani, uNawomi ucela abesifazane bakulelo dolobha ukuba bangabe besambiza ngokuthi uNawomi (othandekayo), kodwa bambize ngokuthi uMara (onomunyu). Wake wazizwa njengoNawomi, owake wasutha kodwa manje uwusenalutho? Kungalezo zikhathi lapho okuthile okuthandekayo kususiwe sizizwa sisengozini futhi sithukuthele. akukhona okungokwemvelo ukuthukuthela; sidinga nje ukuqiniseka ukuthi intukuthelo ayiphenduki ibe umunyu.
Kumele ngikusho, ngiyakuthanda lokho ngoNawomi kule ndaba. Akazange abuye futhi agqoke ngaphambili; wabuyela kubantu bakubo futhi wayethembekile. Kwangathi sonke singazimisela ukwethembeka kubantu abasizungezile ezinkingeni zethu futhi sivume lapho sidinga isikhuthazo. ukuba nomphakathi wamakholwa eduze kwakho ezikhathini ezinzima kuyisihluthulelo senqubo yokwelapha.
URuthe noNawomi babuyele endlini yesinkwa ekuqaleni kokuvunwa kwebhali. Ukuqondana? Angicabangi. amandla angabonakali anyakaza futhi laba besifazane ababili sebezobona uNkulunkulu enza izinto ezinkulu nezimangalisayo abangabonakali kubo ngalesi sikhathi.
Isikhuthazo sami kuwe namuhla ngesokuthi wethembe ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyasebenza. Yazi ukuthi icebo Lakhe lisahamba futhi wena usemehlweni Akhe. Akakhohliwe ngawe, futhi akukho okungamenza ayeke ukukuthanda. Uma udonsa kanzima noma uzizwa uwedwa, ungesabi ukufinyelela kubantu abangcwele ozungezwe yibo.
Kuyakhuthaza kakhulu ukwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungakithi, ungakithi, futhi uyasithanda. Kukho konke, kungakhathaleki ukuthi sizizwa sidabukisa kanjani noma ukuphila kungase kubonakale kudumaza, iqiniso lihlala liwukuthi akukho lutho olungasehlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu.

UmBhalo
Mayelana naloluHlelo
Bambalwa abantu esihlobene nabo ngokomzwelo eBhayibhelini ngaphezu kukaRuthe; umfokazi ompofu ongumfelokazi owenza uNkulunkulu waba ngowokuqala kuye futhi ebuka njengoba eshintsha ukuphila kwakhe. Uma ufuna isikhuthazo ezimweni zakho, ungaphuthelwa lolu hlelo lokufunda!
