Kodwa uRuthe wayevuma futhi ukuphendukela kwakhe kuNkulunkulu oyedwa weqiniso. Wayesemazi uNkulunkulu kaNawomi njengoNkulunkulu onothando omandla nomusa wakhe wawudlulela ngalé kwemingcele yakwa-Israyeli. Isinqumo sikaRuthe sokulandela uNawomi noNkulunkulu wakhe siyophumela ekuphileni okungaphezu kwanoma yini ayengayicabanga.
Ibinzana ngalinye lesitatimende sikaRuthe lifanele ukuqaqa.
-“Lapho uya khona, ngizoya khona nami” - lapho esho lokhu, uRuthe watshela uNawomi ukuthi ngeke amshiye. URuthe wabonisa ukuzinikela kokwesaba uNkulunkulu kuNawomi. Wayelandela uNawomi nomaphi lapho ayengaya khona. URuthe wazizwa esondelene kakhulu noNawomi kunendlela ayezizwa ngayo kubantu bakubo. Ukuzinikela kwakhe kuNawomi kwakuwubudlelwane bokuphila konke.
-“Lapho ulala khona, nami ngizolala khona” - isandiso sokuthi “lapho uya khona, ngizoya khona,” la mazwi abonisa uthando lukaRuthe ngoNawomi ngezinga elijulile. Kwakungenandaba ukuthi uNawomi wayehlala emijondolo noma endlini enkulu; URuthe wayezonamathela kuye. URuthe wathi kuNawomi: “Lapho uhlala khona, nami ngiyakuhlala khona.” URuthe waveza inhloso yakhe yokuba indodakazi yeqiniso kuNawomi. Yeka ukuthi lokhu kuyisitatimende esihle kanjani sothando!
-“Abantu bakini bayakuba ngabantu bakithi, noNkulunkulu wakho abe nguNkulunkulu wami” - ngalokhu kuvuma, uRuthe wavuma ukholo lwakhe olusha. URuthe wasebenzisa ulimi lwesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, njengoba kuboniswe ku-Eksodusi 6:7 nakuZakariya 8:8. URuthe wacaphuna izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu zesivumelwano ebuyela kuNkulunkulu. Wayethanda uNawomi noNkulunkulu kaNawomi ngothando lukaNkulunkulu. URuthe unikeza isibonelo esihle sento okufanele siyenze emthandazweni: caphuna izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu zibuyele Kuye. Hhayi ngoba uNkulunkulu udinga ukuba simkhumbuze Yena ngezithembiso Zakhe. Akakhohlwa. Ufuna siphinde izithembiso Zakhe ngoba siyazikhohlwa. Ukuzinikela kukaRuthe kuNkulunkulu kwakuyisisekelo sokuzinikezela kwakhe kuNawomi.
“Lapho ufela khona, ngiyofela khona nami, ngimbelwe khona.” - EMpumalanga Eseduze yasendulo, lapho wangcwatshwa khona kwakubonisa ukuthi ukhonza muphi unkulunkulu. URuthe wagcizelela ukholo lwakhe kuNkulunkulu oyedwa weqiniso ngokuthi wayeyongcwatshwa kwa-Israyeli. Ngisho nokufa kwakungeke kumhlukanise uRuthe noNawomi.
Ngokuhamba noNawomi eBhetlehema, uRuthe waphila ukuphila njengomfelokazi ompofu. Nokho, njengengxenye yothando Lwakhe olungaguquki, uNkulunkulu uyabanakekela abafelokazi. URuthe wakukholelwa lokhu. Akazange nje abe nokholo kuNkulunkulu; wayezinikele kuYe ngokuzinikela. KuMathewu 19:29, uJesu wamemezela ukuthi noma ubani owayeshiye umndeni noma ikhaya ukuze amlandele wayeyokwamukela lowo mndeni ngokuphindwe kayikhulu futhi athole ukuphila okuphakade. URuthe wayengakaziboni lezi zibusiso uNkulunkulu ayezithembisile, kodwa wayezimisele ukuphuma okholweni olushintsha ukuphila.
Kuthiwani ngawe? Luqine kangakanani ukholo lwakho ezithembisweni zikaNkulunkulu? Yini ozimisele ukuyidela ngenxa Yakhe?
