"Ukubuka Inkosi Engalungile"
Ngesikhathi sikaHerode inkosi yaseJudiya . . . — Luka 1:5
INkosi uHerode Omkhulu yayiyindoda enamandla kunawo wonke eJudiya. Wakha izigodlo eziwubukhazikhazi kanye nedolobha eMedithera elalilingana neRoma. Wayengaba nanoma yini engathengwa ngemali noma amandla ayengase abanjwe. Abantu bakhe babenomona futhi benza amahlaya ngokuthi kungakanani ukudla okwakungathengwa esinye sezigodlo zikaHerode. Babazi ukuthi uHerode wayezicabangela yena yedwa futhi engazithembi, kodwa into ewubuqili yayiwukuthi, emicabangweni yabo eyimfihlo, wonke umuntu wayefuna ukuba uHerode. Umcindezeli onobugovu wayenawo wonke amandla nemali, futhi yilokho izikhonzi zakhe ezazicabanga ukuthi zazikufuna.
Lapho wonke umuntu ebheke uHerode, kwazalwa inkosi entsha—uMesiya othenjisiwe—ezimweni eziphansi nezingacacile ongazicabanga. Izimo zokuzalwa kwakhe okulula zabeka isiteji sokuphila kwakhe kokuzidela nothando. Umbuso omusha wawufikile futhi cishe akekho owayazi. Kwakungeyona into ababeyilindele.
Namuhla, abacindezeli abanamandla bagcwele kuleli zwe futhi abantu bayahlupheka. Amandla nemali ebonakala ingenamkhawulo inokonakala, kodwa isintu sisakufuna kokubili. Siyabazonda abaholi abacindezelayo, kodwa sisakufisa lokhu abanako.
Ngike ngicabange ukuthi, Ukube benginombuso, bengizokwenza izinto ngendlela ehlukile. Empeleni, ngiyingxenye yombuso—umbuso omkhulu kunayo yonke emhlabeni oholwa iNkosi enamandla onke enezinto eziqondile okufanele ngizenze.
Umoya weNkosi uJehova uphezu kwami, ngokuba uJehova ungigcobile ukuba ngishumayele izindaba ezinhle kwabathotshisiweyo. Ungithumele ukubopha abanhliziyo ezaphukileyo, nokumemezela ukukhululwa kwabathunjwa, nokuvulelwa kweziboshwa itilongo, ngimemezele umnyaka womusa kaJehova. —Isaya 61:1-2
Ngiyayibonga kakhulu iNkosi yami, kodwa umsindo wamanye amakhosi kwesinye isikhathi ufiphalisa ukubona kwami. Ukubonga kudinga ukuzinikela ekwenzeni. Isibusiso esikhulu ukuthenjwa, umthwalo ofanele. Umoya weNkosi uJehova uphezu kwami. Umlingo kaKhisimusi wukuthi iNkosi yami ingikhethile ukuthi ngibe yingxenye esebenzayo yokumemezela izindaba ezinhle kwabampofu ngezenzo zami.
Ngakho, yini okufanele ngiyenze? Ngingubani mina ukuthi ngisize? Ngithola induduzo enkulu ngokwazi ukuthi iNkosi yami isikumisile lokho. Ngidinga nje ukubuza, ngilalele, futhi ngizimisele ukwenza okuthile.
