Ushizi Nesinkwa

Ngaphezu kwalokho, uDavide ephikisana noGoliyathi yindaba ebonakala iphikisana nendikimba yethu: Ingabe uDavide akasona yini esinye sezibonelo ezinhle kakhulu zokholo oluqinile, lapho umuntu ebulala uGoliyathi? ingabe into ebonakala ingenakwenzeka ngenxa yodumo lukaNkulunkulu?

Yebo, uma ubheka okokuqala, le ndaba ibonakala ingasho lutho ngathi abantu abangaziwa nabangenabukhazikhazi abahamba begeza izitsha ezingcolile, begunda utshani, besula amagumza amalungiselelo nomakhelwane wakhe ukuze anakekele izimvu zakhe. Wapakisha ushizi nesinkwa emotweni yakhe. Ekugcineni, wahamba ohambweni ukuze ahambise izipho zikayise kubafowabo abadala ababelwa neNkosi uSawule ngokumelene namaFilisti azondwayo.

Akukho okukhangayo noma okumangalisayo kunoma yikuphi kwalokho. Futhi akukho mithandazo yokucela uNkulunkulu ukuba amenze uDavid the Giant Slayer owaziwa phakade. u Davide akazange avuke noGoliyati engqondweni yakhe. Wavuka ukuze ahloniphe ubaba wakhe futhi abe umfana odilivayo ophatha isinkwa noshizi.

Indaba edumile kaDavide ngokumelene noGoliyati yenzeka ngenxa yokwethembeka ngezinto zansuku zonke njengesinkwa noshizi. Unkulunkulu wayekale izisusa zikaDavide futhi wayazi ukuthi le nsizwa yayizifunela eyakhe inhliziyo.

Enye yezimfihlo eziyisisekelo zokujabulela ukuthula kwansuku zonke ukufuna uNkulunkulu, hhayi imidondoshiya. Ujesu washo leli qiniso lapho ethi masifune kuqala uMbuso kaNkulunkulu nokulunga kwakhe. Izinhliziyo zethu kufanele ziphishekele uhlobo lobuhlobo uDavide ayenabo noNkulunkulu esikhundleni sokufuna izinto ezivusa amadlingozi neziwumbukwane.

Lapho siphupha emini ‘ngezinto ezinkulu’ esingabe sizenzela uNkulunkulu, silahlekelwa ubuhle boMbuso waKhe kakade osizungezile futhi ukuphila kwethu kuphawuleka ngokucasuka kunenhlonipho. Unkulunkulu akakucelanga ukuthi ubulale uGoliyati namuhla, kodwa uJehova ufuna ube mnene emazwini akho, noma ubekezelele ingane yakini, noma uthembeke ezintela zakho.

Futhi ngaphandle uma kunenkunzi egawuliwe e-altare endlini yakho yokuphumula, akulindelekile ukuthi ubize umlilo wehle ezulwini. Ngiyazi ukuthi kuzwakala kuphambene nezinto eziningi ozizwile, futhi sizokhuluma ngakho ezinkonzweni ezimbalwa ezilandelayo... kodwa okwamanje: Funa uNkulunkulu, hhayi imidondoshiya.
