UFILE KODWA USABULALA

Indaba eyingqophamlando kaDavide noGoliyati ingenye yezindaba ezaziwa kakhulu eBhayibhelini. Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwesiGodi sase-Ela kukhona ibutho lamaFilisti, neqhawe lalo elingamamitha angu-9 ubude okuthiwa uGoliyati. Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwesigodi kukhona ibutho lama-Israyeli, lithuthumela ngenxa yokwesaba ngaphansi kobuholi benkosi yalo uSawule. Izinsuku ezingamashumi amane uGoliyati ubelokhu eklolodela ama-Israyeli futhi ebadonsela obishini lokwesaba. Usuku nosuku ubelokhu ebaphonsela inselelo ukuba bathumele isosha elilodwa ukuba libhekane naye umuntu nomuntu. Kodwa kuze kube manje, akekho ozinikele.

Mhlawumbe uyaluqonda usizi lwama-Israyeli. Uhlobo lomdondoshiya lumi phambi kwakho, luyakugcona, lukuhlukumeza, futhi lukuthuka. Mhlawumbe ukwesaba. Mhlawumbe intukuthelo. Mhlawumbe umuzwa wokulahlwa. Mhlawumbe umdondoshiya wokunethezeka okhohlisayo kodwa ojwayeleke kakhulu okuphoqa ukuthi uphilele into encane. Kungase futhi kube umkhuba osujovekile.

Noma ngabe siyini lesi siqhwaga empilweni yakho, usuku nosuku besikuphuca amandla. Uzamile ukumisa ukukloloda, kodwa uzizwa ungenakunyakaziswa. Azibambile. Ukhubazekile ngokungaqhubekeli phambili. Ekugcineni, uyazi ukuthi awuphili ukugcwala kanye nenkululeko yempilo uNkulunkulu akuhlosele yona.

Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi uNkulunkulu sewenze indlela yokuba lezi ziqhwaga ziwe. Kuqala ngokukholelwa ukuthi nakuba umdondoshiya olwayo ungase ube mkhulu, kodwa awumkhulu kunoJesu. Eqinisweni, usezinqobile iziqhwaga empilweni yakho. Lapho efika kulo mhlaba, wabekezelela isihogo ngenxa yakho esiphambanweni futhi wavuka ethuneni ukuze uvithize ithemba lokuphila okulahliwe. Uzele ukuzokukhulula emdondoshiyeni ekuvukelayo ekubambezele ngokwesaba.

UJesu usesinqobile isitha. Nokho, njengoba sifunda kweyoku-KaPetru 5:8 , udeveli “uyahambahamba . . . ufuna umuntu angamshwabadela. Ngezindlela eziningi, ufana nenyoka enqunywe ikhanda. Uma ubulala inyoka, kufanele uqiniseke ukuthi uyayingcwaba ikhanda, ngoba ngisho nangemva kokufa inyoka ibamba umthamo obulalayo wobuthi emazengeni ayo. Uma unyathela ekhanda lenyoka efile, usengangenwa ushevu. Ngendlela efanayo, nakuba uJesu ephula amandla kaSathane esiphambanweni, usengafaka ubuthi bakhe obubulalayo ezimpilweni zethu. Ufile kodwa usabulala.

Umgomo-ke, njengoba sizoxoxa ngakho kulolu cwaningo, akukhona ukunyathela ekhanda lenyoka. Ngokwenza, lokhu kusho ukumelana nodeveli (bona EkaJakobe 4:7), ukuhlomisa izivikelo uJesu azinikezile (bona Kwabase-Efesu 6:10–18), kanye nokuncika ekwaneleni kwakhe (bona IzAga 3:5). Kusho ukukhumbula ukuthi unguDavide wakho endabeni—futhi awusoze wawisa imidondoshiya ngesibindi sakho, amandla akho, noma imizamo yakho. NguJesu njalo owehlisela umdondoshiya.

Uma ngempela ufuna ukubona ukunqoba phezu kwemidondoshiya empilweni yakho, udinga ukuqonda ukuncika kwakho ekwaneleni konke kukaJesu Kristu. Ukunqoba kumayelana nokuthembela kuKristu hhayi ukuzama ukuphumelela. Ukuthatha isinyathelo sokuqala ngokumelene nesitha sakho esifile-kodwa-esibulalayo, kufanele wenze lo mbono ushintshe emqondweni wakho. UKristu uwukuphela kwamandla aletha izinguquko.
