Okwenza Abaningi Baquleke NgoSuku Lobunzima
IBhayibheli lithi: “Uma udangala ngosuku losizi, ukholo lwakho lubuthakathaka.” — IzAga 24:10 . Phawula ukuthi umbhalo awuzibeki izaba zokuquleka; imane iveze iqiniso lokuthi ukholo lubuthakathaka.
Muva nje, omunye wangitshela ukuthi, “Muntu kaNkulunkulu, awuqondi ukuthi ngibhekene nani, ngathandaza, kodwa akukho okushintshile, yingakho ngiye esangomeni, kumuntu wemimoya ukuze ngiyofuna usizo.
Ngokombono womuntu, singase sibe nozwela futhi size sithethelele izinqumo zabo. Kodwa uma ubheka umbhalo, iqiniso licacile: uma uphelelwa amandla ngosuku lobunzima, ukholo lwakho lubuthakathaka.
Ukukholwa akufakazelwa ngokunqoba; ukholo lufakazelwa lapho ulokhu ubambelele kuNkulunkulu phakathi kobunzima.
Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babona iziqhwaga ezweni, bathi: “Ngeke silithathe.” Nokho uNkulunkulu wavumela lezo ziqhwaga ukuba zisale. Kungani? Ngoba ngaphandle kwabo, ingqalasizinda yomhlaba ngabe ilahlekelwe yihlane. UNkulunkulu wayazi ukuthi abantu Bakhe banamandla okunqoba. Kungakho iBhayibheli lisiqinisekisa: “Asikho isilingo esinificile ngaphandle kwalokho okuvamile kubantu, futhi uNkulunkulu uthembekile, ongayikuvuma ukuba nilingwe ngokungaphezu kwalokho eningakuthwala.” ( 1 Korinte 10:13 )
Inkinga ukuthi abaningi bayaquleka uma kufanele baphushe. Bayeka lapho kufanele bathembe. UmBhalo uthi: “Abanye bathemba izinqola, abanye amahhashi, kepha thina siyakwethemba igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.”
Uma umuntu ethi, “Bengingenayo enye indlela ngaphandle kokuya esangomeni,” kuveza ukuthi abakaze babe nokholo lweqiniso. Ukukholwa kwangempela kuthi, “Yebo, kukhona imidondoshiya, kepha uNkulunkulu wami mkhulu.” UKalebi noGideyoni babhekana neziqhwaga, kodwa bamethemba uNkulunkulu. Indaba ayikuphiki imidondoshiya. Indaba iwukukholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzokusiza ubhekane nazo.
Konke ukunqoba uIsrayeli akuthola kwakungekona ngamandla akhe kodwa ngokungenela okungaphezu kwemvelo. Futhi kusefana nanamuhla: kudingeka uNkulunkulu anqobe ekuphileni . Ukukholwa akubheki isimo; ukukholwa kubheka uNkulunkulu.
AmaHeberu 11 abhala abesilisa nabesifazane abakholelwa kuNkulunkulu ukuthi akunakwenzeka—abanye bemukela ngisho nabafileyo babo bevusiwe. Zibone ngeso lengqondo umi ehholo lokholo elilodwa—ingabe ukuthembela kwakho kuNkulunkulu kuzobhalwa phansi?
Ukuphila kuyohlale kuletha ushushiso, ukucindezela, novivinyo. Kodwa indaba akuzona imidondoshiya—iwukuthi uyogcina amehlo akho kuNkulunkulu ephakathi kwawo yini. Labo abangafuni ukuquleka ebunzimeni yibo abahamba ekunqobeni okukhulu.
Ngakho khuleka: “Nkosi, qinisa ukholo lwami, ungangivumeli ngiphele amandla ngosuku losizi.
Izwi Lokugcina
Baningi asebelahle ithemba—ezizweni zabo, emishadweni yabo, emisebenzini yabo—ngenxa yezinselele ababhekana nazo. Kodwa iBhayibheli lithi: “Uma udangala ngosuku losizi, ukholo lwakho lubuthakathaka.”
Kungenzeka yini ukuthi awukaze ukholelwe ngempela kuleso sizwe? Awukaze ukholelwe ngempela kulowo mshado? Awukaze ukholwe ngokweqiniso kulokho bizo? Yingakho wadela.
Yisikhathi sokucela uNkulunkulu ukuthi akhulule ukukholwa kuwe futhi. Ukholo olungangembewu yesinaphi lungagudluza izintaba. Thandaza namuhla ukuthi uNkulunkulu akhulule ukholo olusha ukuze ukwazi ukunqoba noma yini obhekene nayo.
Ukholo lwakho ngeke lube buthaka. Inkosi ikubusise.
🙏 Chofoza inkinobho engezansi ukuze uthumele amaphuzu akho omkhuleko nezicelo.
Masime ndawonye ngokukholwa njengoba sikholelwa kuNkulunkulu ngempilo yakho, isiphetho sakho, nakho konke ukunqoba akulungiselele.
