Ukwethemba UNkulunkulu Lapho Ukhathazekile

Uma sikhathazekile, akusizi ukuthi othile asitshele ukuthi sikhathazekele ize noma kufanele sivele sidlule kukho. Esikhundleni sokuthulisa ukwesaba kwethu, lolu hlobo lweseluleko luvele lusishiye sizizwa singezwakali, singanakekelwe, futhi singavumelekile. Ukutshelwa nje ukuthi singakhathazeki ngeke kuvimbe ukukhathazeka kwethu. Ngalezo zikhathi, kufanele sifune uNkulunkulu ngenkuthalo ukuze sithole ukuthula.

U-Elisha wayengumprofethi eTestamenteni Elidala owayezwa uNkulunkulu futhi exwayisa inkosi yakwa-Israyeli noma nini lapho esinye isizwe sihlela ukuhlasela. Ngemva kokuba amacebo enkosi yase-Aramu ehlulekile izikhathi eziningi, yanquma ukuthumela ibutho layo ukuba liyobamba u-Elisha. Ngolunye usuku ekuseni, ikamu lalizungezwe izitha, futhi inceku ka-Elisha yaqala ukwethuka. U-Elisha wamtshela ukuthi angesabi ngoba amabutho kaJehova ayemaningi kunebutho lezitha zawo. Yabe esethandazela ukuba amehlo enceku yakhe avuleke, futhi insizwa yabona ukuthi intaba yayigcwele amahhashi nezinqola zomlilo.

Uma sinqotshwa ukwesaba, sidinga ukukhunjuzwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wethu unathi futhi mkhulu kunanoma yini esongela ukusilimaza. Esikhundleni sokuvumela imicabango yethu ingalawuleki, sidinga ukugxila emiBhalweni. Kudingeka siqaphele imicabango yethu engemihle futhi sizijwayeze ukususa amanga sisebenzise iqiniso leZwi likaNkulunkulu.

IBhayibheli lithi akufanele sihlale ngokwesaba ngoba uNkulunkulu usinike ingqondo ehluzekile. Ungumvikeli wethu, umondli wethu, amandla ethu, isiphephelo sethu, nakho konke kwethu. UNkulunkulu unguye izolo, namuhla, naphakade. Njengoba nje akhulula u-Elisha, singathembela ukuthi uyokwethembeka ukuze asikhulule.

Lapho imicabango yethu ekhathazayo ilokhu iduma emakhanda ethu, singase silingeke ukuba siqede ukwesaba kwethu ngokwenza izinto ezingenangqondo. Yize singathola ukuphunyuka kwesikhashana ezintweni, ubudlelwano obungenampilo, noma ukuskrola kwenkundla yezokuxhumana, akukho kulokhu okuzoxazulula ukukhathazeka kwethu. Ngokukhetha ukuba ndikindiki, sikhetha ukungenzi lutho. Nokho, uma sifuna ukuvuselela izingqondo zethu futhi siphile ngokholo, kufanele sibambe iqhaza elibonakalayo ekuqedeni imicabango yethu ekhathazayo.

Uma uvamise ukuzithola ugxile ezintweni ezingezinhle, dala izinkomba ezizokusiza ukuthi uguqule ukugxila kwakho. Gcina umBhalo phambi kwakho ngokuwubhala esibukweni sakho, ubeke ivesi olithandayo etafuleni lakho, noma ubhalisele izaziso zohlelo lokusebenza kufoni yakho. Zizungeze nomphakathi ohlonipha uNkulunkulu ongavuleleka futhi ube sengozini kuwo. Khumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungubani, wenzeni, nokuthi uthembisa ukwenzani. Khuluma iqiniso Lakhe ngempilo yakho, ngokuphindaphindiwe uze ukholwe.

Uma wethemba ukuthi okushiwo yiBhayibheli kuyiqiniso, ungakhetha ukwethemba uNkulunkulu phakathi nokukhathazeka kwakho. Noma ngabe yini okhathazeka ngayo, uNkulunkulu muhle ngokwanele futhi unamandla ngokwanele futhi ukuthanda ngokwanele ukuthatha noma yimuphi umphumela–lowo owufunayo naleyo ongawufuni–futhi uwusebenzisele inzuzo yakho.

Ukufunda ukwethemba ngokugcwele uNkulunkulu akuzi kalula. Akulula njengokuqedela uhlelo olulodwa lweBhayibheli.
