Ukuhamba ngokuhlakanipha: Izihluthulelo Zesikhathi SakaNkulunkulu Nezinkathi ZoNkulunkulu
KumaHubo 90:12, uMose uyathandaza, "asifundise ukubala izinsuku zethu, ukuze sizuze inhliziyo yokuhlakanipha." Lesi sitatimende sijulile ngoba uMose ngokwakhe wabhekana nokubambezeleka kanye nezithiyo. Iseshini kaMose yokulibala yilapho edingiswa eGibhithe. Wenze ngokungafanele ngokubulala umGibhithe, okwamholela ekudingisweni iminyaka engama-40. Ngalesi sikhathi, uMose wayefihlwe ehlane, elungiswa futhi ahlanjululwa uNkulunkulu. Ngakho-ke lapho uMose ethandaza lo mthandazo, uyakuqonda ukubaluleka kwesikhathi sesikhathi ngoba wayebonile ukuthi isiphambeko sakhe sisithinta kanjani sonke isizukulwane.
Ukubambezeleka kwesibili kwenzeka lapho izinhloli zibuya nombiko ongemuhle, okwenza abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babambezele eminye iminyaka engama-40. Ukubona konke okulahlekile, uMose wathandaza, "Nkosi, sisifundise ukubala izinsuku zethu." Lokhu kubambezeleka kwamfundisa uMose isifundo esihle futhi akhonze isifundo esikhudlwana kithi. Cabanga ukuthi mangaki izimpilo ezilahlekile noma izinto ezishiywe zingagcwaliseki ngenxa yamaphutha nezinqumo ezingezinhle.
Lapho uMose ethi, "Sifundise ukuba sibhale izinsuku zethu," usibizela ukuba sazi uhlobo lwempilo yethu. Kumayelana nokubona ukuthi zonke izinsuku ziyisipho - ithuba lokuzivumelanisa nenhloso kaNkulunkulu nokuhamba ekuhlakanipheni.
Abantu abaningi baphila ngokunganaki ngaphandle kokucabanga ngesizini abakuyo noma lokho uNkulunkulu akufunayo kubo kuleso sikhathi. Impilo ihlukaniswe izinkathi zonyaka, imini nobusuku. Abantu abaningi baphumelela phakathi 'kwesizini' baba '(izikhathi zamathuba, ukuthandwa kanye nezibusiso) kodwa bazabalaza ngesikhathi' sabo sobusuku '(izikhathi eziyinselele, zilindile, noma zilungiselela). Isihluthulelo sokuzulazula kulezi zikhathi ukulungiselela nokuqonda ukuthi uNkulunkulu usebenza kuzo zonke izikhathi. Njengoba uJesu asho, "Kumelwe ngisebenzele imisebenzi yalowo ongithumileyo, kuyilapho kungusuku: ubusuku buyeza, lapho kungekho muntu ongasebenza." (NgokukaJohane 9: 4)
Umzekeliso wezintombi ezihlakaniphile neziyiziwula (uMathewu 25: 1-13) uphinde abonisa lesi simiso. Izintombi ezihlakaniphile zazilungiselelwe ukufika komyeni ngoba beqonda ukubaluleka kokulungiselela. Ngokuphambene nalokho, izintombi eziyiziwula zaphuthelwa yithuba lethu ngoba zehluleka ukulungiselela.
Izinqumo esizenzayo namuhla zithinta ikusasa lethu. Imvamisa uNkulunkulu wembula okuzayo, kepha kukithi ukusikulungiselela. Uma sifunda ukuhamba ekuhlakanipheni namuhla, sizobe sesikulungele ukubhekana nezinselelo zakusasa.
Umthandazo kaMose usebenza njengesikhumbuzo sokuthi impilo imfushane, futhi usuku ngalunye luyithuba lokukhula ngokuhlakanipha, yenza izinqumo ezifanele, futhi uzilungiselele lokho uNkulunkulu agcina kukho. Ngokuqaphela kwezinsuku zethu, singakwazi ukuhamba sinqoba futhi sifeze ikusasa lethu elinikezwe uNkulunkulu.
