Anxious for Nothing

USUKU 1 KWEZINGU- 5


Jabulani eNkosini Njalo

Ukukhathazeka kuyimvula ngezinzwa zokubikezela okungenzeka. Kuzokwenzekani uma ngingakuvali ukuthengisa? Kuthiwani uma singakwazi ukukhokhela izinsiza zokuqinisa amazinyo zabantwana? Kuthiwani uma izingane zami zinamazinyo ayisigwegwe? Kuthiwani uma amazinyo agwegwile abenza bangabi nabangani . . . umsebenzi . . . umngani womshado? Ukukhathazeka wukuphila impilo ngokhiye omncane nokukhathazeka okukhulu.

Ingabe inhliziyo yakho isindwa wukukhathazeka? Ungakwazi ukuzola? Uma kunjalo, awuwedwa. Ukunqoba ukukhathazeka nokudumazeka kudinga umsebenzi othile ohlangothini lwakho, kodwa akuyona intando kaNkulunkulu ukuthi uphile ukuphila kokukhathazeka okungapheli. UNkulunkulu uyabathanda abantwana bakhe. Wengamela umhlaba wakho. Uqapha impilo yakho.

KweyabaseFilipi 4:4, uPawulu unikeza lokho okungase kubhekwe “njengemithi” yokukhathazeka nokukhathazeka. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi lencwadi kadokotela iqala ngobizo ‘lokuthokoza eNkosini ngaso sonke isikhathi. UPawulu wasebenzisa wonke amathuluzi asebhokisini laleli vesi ukuze adonsele ukunaka kwabafundi bakhe. Okokuqala, usebenzisa inkathi yesenzo ukuze bezwe, “hlalani nijabula!” Futhi uma isenzo sesenzo sasinganele, wasusa usuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi: “Jabulani eNkosini njalo.” Futhi uma lokho kwakungenele, wawuphinda umyalo othi: “Futhi ngizothi, thokozani!”

Kodwa uwulalela kanjani lo myalo? Ngokuqaphela ubukhosi bukaNkulunkulu. Abantu abacindezeleke kakhulu ama-control freaks. Lapho bezama kakhulu ukulawula umhlaba, yilapho bebona ukuthi ngeke bakwazi. Ukuphila kuba umjikelezo wokukhathazeka, ukwehluleka; ukukhathazeka, ukwehluleka; ukukhathazeka, ukwehluleka. Kodwa uma uqaphela ukuthi izulu linesihlalo sobukhosi, uvumela uJehova ukuba alawule. UNkulunkulu ube esethulisa ukwesaba kwakho hhayi ngokususa inkinga, kodwa ngokuveza amandla akhe obunkulunkulu nobukhona bakhe. Ukukhathazeka kwakho kuncipha njengoba ukuqonda kwakho uNkulunkulu, uYihlo, kwanda.

Ngesikhathi esizayo lapho wesaba ikusasa, jabulani ebukhosini beNkosi. Jabulani ngalokho akufezile. Jabula ngokuthi uyakwazi ukwenza lokho ongakwazi ukukwenza. Gcwalisa ingqondo yakho ngemicabango ngaye. Lapho abanye bebona izinkinga zomhlaba bese besonga izandla, bona lezo zinkinga bese ugoba amadolo akho. Phakamisa ingqondo yakho ngamabomu emicabangweni ngenkosi yakho. UngaZIlahli ezinkingeni zakho. Isibindi sokukholelwa ukuthi izinto ezinhle zizokwenzeka. Hlola ukuthi yini esekela inkolelo yakho, futhi uqiniseke ukuthi ukukholelwa kwakho kuNkulunkulu kusekelwe ekwethembeni ukuthi nguye olawulayo.

Yazi futhi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukukhululile emacaleni nasodakeni lokuzisola okungenzeka kukudalele ukukhathazeka. Icala elingaxazululiwe lingakwenza ube umuntu ocashile, ogijimayo, ophikayo, futhi ozenzisayo. Icala lingamunca impilo emphefumulweni wakho. Kodwa umusa ubuyisela lokho kuphila futhi ukuvumela ukuba wethembe intethelelo kaNkulunkulu. Umphumela uba ikhono lokujabula ngaphandle kwezithiyo, ukuqiniseka ebukhosini bukaNkulunkulu.

Izandla zikaYihlo zivulekile, ngakho-ke zibeke ezandleni zakhe ngokuphelele. Njengoba wenza, uyothola ukuthi kungenzeka—yebo, kungenzeka!—ungakhathazeki ngalutho.
