PHAMBILI EKUNQOBENI

Ekugcineni kwendaba kaDavide noGoliyati, siyafunda, “Ngakho uDavide wamnqoba umFilisti ngendwayimane nangetshe; ngaphandle kwenkemba esandleni sakhe wamshaya umFilisti wambulala” ( 1 Samuweli 17:50 ). Ngemva kwamahora ambalwa, umalusi owayehlome ngendwayimane kuphela futhi ukholo lwakhe kuNkulunkulu wehlisa umdondoshiya owesabekayo owase EklolodelE ama-Israyeli izinsuku ezingamashumi amane. UMelusi wakho, uJesu, uyokwenza okufanayo ekuphileni kwakho uma umvumela (bheka uJohane 10:11 ).

KumaHubo 23:5, uDavide uthi ngoJehova, “Ulungisa itafula phambi kwami ​​ebusweni bezitha zami.” UJesu, uMsindisi wakho, uthembisa ukukuhola, ukukuqondisa, nokukuvikela . . . hhayi lapho izitha zakho zingekho, kodwa phambi kwezitha zakho. Njengoba izingcindezi, ubumnyama, kanye nemidondoshiya yakho isondela eduze kwakho, uMalusi wakho wenza idili lokuphakela khona lapho phakathi kwempi. Ukunikeza konke okudingayo ukuze ungagcini nje ngokusinda kodwa uphumelele njengoba uzulazula endleleni eya enkululekweni.

IBhayibheli lithi uJesu akayena nje uMalusi Omuhle wakho kodwa futhi uyiNgonyama kaJuda (bona iSambulo 5:5). Ukubhonga kwakhe kubusa izizwe. Izwi lakhe lihlephula isitha. Kodwa okwesikhashana, uSathane uye wavunyelwa ukuba abhuqe futhi afune imifantu angazifaka ngayo engqondweni yakho. Uma ungamvimbi, kuzoba nguye ohlezi etafuleni. Futhi uma esetafuleni lakho, khona-ke uzosebenza ukuqeda ukuthembela kwakho kuNkulunkulu. Uzozama ukukutshela ukuthi uwedwa empini futhi awunalo ithuba lokubona imidondoshiya yakho iwa.

Ezikhathini ezinjalo kudingeka uvumelane noDavide, okwathi, naphezu kokubona ubunzima obuningi ekuphileni kwakhe—Engathi ngokuqiniseka, “Noma ngihamba esigodini sethunzi lokufa, angesabi okubi, ngokuba wena nami” (AmaHubo 23:4). UDavide wayazi ukuthi konke kwakungaphansi kokulawula kukaNkulunkulu. Waqaphela ngezikhathi zobumnyama ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayenaye, ehamba naye esigodini. Ungaba nokwethemba okufanayo, kodwa kuphela uma wenqaba ukuvumela isitha ukuba sihlale etafuleni lakho.

Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uma isitha sisetafuleni lakho, sizozama ukukukholisa ukuthi ngeke uphumelele. Uzosebenzela ukudida ikhanda lakho futhi akukhumbuze ukuthi uzungeziwe futhi wonke umuntu uzimisele ukumelana nawe. Uzokulinga ngemicabango yokuthi kukhona okungcono kwelinye itafula nokuthi uNkulunkulu ukubekele kona. Kumele ukhethe ukukholelwa ukuthi uMelusi wakho wathembisa ukukuhola esigodini, ukuthi uhlala enawe, ukuthi uyakwazi okukulungele, nokuthi ungumntwana wakhe amthandayo.

Ngakho-ke namuhla, hlala etafuleni elikhulu likaNkulunkulu. Hlala phansi, uthule, ujabulele ubukhona bukaYihlo osezulwini. Yanini kuye noma nini lapho nikhathele futhi nisindwa, ngoba uthembisile ukuniphumuza (bona uMathewu 11:28). Gxila kancane ezitheni ezikuzungezile futhi ugxile kakhulu eqinisweni lokuthi ukhona nawe. Qhubekela phambili ekunqobeni akubekele wena—futhi ubuke njengoba ngasinye ngasinye iziqhwaga empilweni yakho ziwa.
