Izinto Ezingu-7 IBhayibheli Elizishoyo NgokukhathazekaIsampula

Kwesinye isikhathi kwenzeka izinto ongakwazi ukuzilawula noma ukuzibikezela. Ukukhathazeka kwenzeka lapho uchitha isikhathi ucindezela phezu kwakho. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukhathazekile ngomnqamulajuqu noma uhlushwa ukukhathazeka okwedlulele ngaphandle kwesizathu, awuwedwa. Ngisho noma ungakwazi ukukucabanga, uNkulunkulu unethemba elichichimayo eligcinelwe labo abathi—phakathi kwezinxushunxushu—bame isikhathi eside ukuze bezwe izwi Lakhe.

KwabaseRoma 15:13 umthandazo ovela kuMphostoli uPawulu oya kwamanye amaKristu aseRoma, kodwa uma ulalela, ungezwa izwi likaNkulunkulu likhuluma nawe. UPawulu uwakhetha ngokucophelela amazwi akhe njengoba ekhuluma ‘ngoNkulunkulu wethemba. Ukutholile lokho? Ithemba likwisimo sikaNkulunkulu. Kodwa uPawulu akaceli uNkulunkulu ukuthi asuse ukukhathazeka kwabo. Ingabe uNkulunkulu ubengakuthatha? Yebo, kodwa wayazi ukuthi amaRoma ayezobuyela esikebheni esifanayo uma engashintshi ukucabanga kwawo. Kunalokho, wacela uNkulunkulu ukuba abagcwalise “ngayo yonke intokozo nokuthula” ngoba lapho ugcwele injabulo nokuthula ngempela, ayikho indawo yokukhathazeka.

Akukabi lula kangako. UNkulunkulu wayengakwazi ukuxhuma amaRoma emthonjeni Wakhe ongapheli wenjabulo nokuthula, akhiphe amathangi awo omoya, futhi ashiye nakancane indawo yokukhathazeka. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wayazi ukuthi uma bengayishintshi imikhuba yabo yengqondo, injabulo nokuthula kwakuyogcina kuthathelwe indawo ukukhathazeka. Ngakho, Wayedinga into eyodwa ngaphambi kokukhulula injabulo nokuthula kwaseZulwini. Ingxenye elandelayo yalowo musho ithi “njengoba uthembele Kuye.”

Uyayibona manje? Ukwethemba kuyisihluthulelo somnyango obambe isikhukhula sokuthula nenjabulo esiqeda ukukhathazeka. Uyamethemba uNkulunkulu? Hhayi nje ukwethembana okukha phezulu, okwenziwa ngomlomo—kodwa uhlobo lokwethemba olukuvumela ukuthi ususe izandla zakho kunoma yini oyibamba ngokuqinile.

Ingabe ukuthembana kuyichashazi lomlingo? Cha. Ayikho inhlamvu yomlingo engasusa ngokushesha yonke iminonjana yokukhathazeka okujulile kwezinto eziphilayo. Kodwa uNkulunkulu usethembekile. Futhi ukuthembela Kuye kusaholela ingqondo nomoya wakho ekwelapheni. Angaba iDwala ome kulo futhi ubambelele kulo njengoba uqhubeka nokulwa nokubamba ukukhathazeka emzimbeni wakho.

UNkulunkulu ufanele ukuba simethembe ngokujulile. Uma umethemba, Ukugcwalisa ngenjabulo nokuthula okukhulu kangangokuthi uphuphuma ithemba. Ungase ungazi ukuthi lokho kuzwakala kanjani, futhi kungase kube nzima ngempela ukwethemba uNkulunkulu. Kodwa ingqikithi yokukholwa iyaphuma futhi ithathe ithuba lapho ungazi ngokugcwele ukuthi kuzokwenzekani ngokulandelayo.

Ungasithola yini isibindi sokususa izandla zakho kulezo zinto ozibambile bese wethemba uNkulunkulu namuhla?
