Isibusiso SojwayelekileIsampula

Okwangempela

Ushizi Nesinkwa SikaDavide kumletha ebuthweni lakwa-Israyeli njengoba uGoliyati ekhipha inselelo yakhe yokudelela. Imvamisa ilahleka endabeni engokwesiko ethi “abaphansi bemelene neqhawe”, akukhona okokuqala uGoliyati ememeza ama-Israyeli.

Amabutho ayekanise ebhekene izinsuku ezingamashumi amane (kuzwakala kujwayelekile?) Neqhawe lamaFilisti lalima njalo ekuseni nasebusuku lidinga umuntu ozomelana naye. Lokho kuyizikhathi ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalombili . Kodwa eyoku-1 Samuweli ibhala elinye iqiniso elembulayo:

Ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho amabutho ebhekene wodwa ayememeza izimpi zawo. Ibutho likaNkulunkulu, elifungelwe ukulwela igama likaJehova nenkazimulo yakhe, lihlobe ngezikhali zokulwa, lihlaba umkhosi ngokukhala kweNkosi, laqhaqhazela ngokwesaba lapho kumi isitha esisodwa. Wonke amathuluzi, akukho sibindi.

Esinye sezizathu ezenza ngikholelwe ukuthi ukuphila ngokukholwa kwethu “kokuvamile” kuwukubonakaliswa okugqamile kokuphila kuKristu yingoba kudinga ukuthi singabheki ingxenye yomKristu, kodwa siphile ngenhliziyo kuNkulunkulu ngaso sonke isikhathi. Izinqubo zansuku zonke zigcwele izinqumo ezidinga ukuba sikhethe ukwesaba noma ukwethenjwa, ithemba noma ukungabaza, uthando noma ubugovu, ukuthobeka noma ukuzidla..

Isibusiso “sokuphila okuvamile” ukuthi uNkulunkulu usinikeza ithuba eliqhubekayo lokwazi umusa Wakhe nobukhona Bakhe kunokulinda umzuzu owodwa ophelele ukuze sibonise uthando lwethu Kuye. Ibutho likaNkulunkulu lalibukeka njengabantu bakaNkulunkulu, nokho sasingekho isenzo esasihambisana nokuziphatha kwabo.

uDavide wayesehamba ngokulalela  futhi wakwazi ukulalela lapho ebhekene noGoliyathi. Abaningi bethu bazibheka esikhathini esizayo njengosanta omkhulu ogcwele ukholo oluqinile, kodwa ukulalela kufanele kwenzeke emhlabeni wangempela njengamanje. Akwenzeki uma siseqenjini elikhulu elibanga umsindo ndawonye egameni likaNkulunkulu futhi akubalwa ekhanda lakho.

Ukulalela kudinga ukuthi uphumele “okwangempela,” esimweni samanje ozithola ukuso, bese ukhetha: Thembela kuNkulunkulu noma uncibilike esixukwini esikhuluma ngokwethemba uNkulunkulu. Kusasa sizophendula lo mbuzo: Yini eyenza umfana ongumalusi uDavide ahluke kunamasosha eNkosi ahlomile namemezayo?
