UNkulunkulu usinika impilo yangempela
Ku-movie ethi As Good as It Gets, uJack Nicholson udlala umuntu omuhle kakhulu. Uphazamisekile ngokomzwelo nangokwenhlalo. Akanabo abangani futhi ithemba lincane ngaye aze ahlangane nentokazi emsebenzelayo endaweni yokucima ukoma yangakubo. Ngokungafani nabanye abangaphambi kwakhe, uye wadlula ezikhathini ezinzima. Ngakho uyambonisa ukunaka okuthile, naye usabela ngendlela efanayo, futhi bayasondelana njengoba ifilimu iqhubeka. Njengoba nje uweta osemusha uJack Nicholson abonisa isilinganiso esithile somusa ayengasifanele, ngokufanayo sihlangabezana nesihe sikaNkulunkulu ohambweni lwethu lobuKristu. UMiguel de Cervantes, umbhali omkhulu waseSpain kaDon Quixote, wabhala ukuthi “phakathi kwezici zikaNkulunkulu, isihe sakhe sikhanya kakhulu kunokulunga kwakhe”.
Umusa uyisipho esingasifanele. Sivame ukwanga umngane obhekene nesikhathi esibi empilweni yakhe. Singase ngisho nokumhlebela endlebeni yakhe, “Konke kuzolunga.” Ngokwemfundiso yenkolo, siqinisile emazwini anjalo.Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isimo sinzima kangakanani, amaKristu kuphela angasho ukuthi izinto zizohamba kahle nokuthi umusa kaNkulunkulu uyokhanya ngokukhazimulayo. .
“Akenzi kithi njengokwezono zethu, futhi akasiphindisi njengokwamacala ethu. Ngokuba njengokuphakama kwezulu phezu komhlaba, welulela umusa wakhe kwabamesabayo. Njengokude kuse kude nakusihlwa, uzishiya kithi iziphambeko zethu. Njengoyise ehawukela abantwana bakhe, kanjalo uJehova uyabahawukela abamesabayo. Ngokuba uyazi ukuthi siyini; uyakhumbula ukuthi siluthuli” (IHubo 10).3,10-enye).
Phakathi nesomiso esinzima ezweni, uNkulunkulu wayala umprofethi u-Eliya ukuba aye emfudlaneni iKrit ukuze aphuze, futhi uNkulunkulu wathumela amagwababa ukuba amnike ukudla (2. Amakhosi 17,1-4). UNkulunkulu wayinakekela inceku yakhe.
UNkulunkulu uyosinakekela ekugcwaleni kwengcebo yakhe. UPawulu wabhalela ibandla laseFilipi: “UNkulunkulu wami wokugcwalisa ukuswela kwenu konke ngokwengcebo yakhe enkazimulweni kuKristu Jesu.” ( Filipi 4,19). Kwaba njalo kwabaseFilipi futhi kuyiqiniso nakithi. UJesu wakhuthaza izilaleli zakhe eNtshumayelweni YaseNtabeni:
Ningakhathazeki ngokuphila kwenu, ukuthi niyakudlani, niphuzeni; kungabi ngomzimba wenu ukuthi niyakwembathani. Ukuphila kawudluli ukudla yini, lomzimba kunezembatho? Bheka izinyoni eziphansi kwezulu: azihlwanyeli, azivuni, azibutheli eziphaleni; nokho uYihlo osezulwini uyazondla. Awubalulekile yini ngaphezu kwazo? (Mathewu 6,25-enye).
UNkulunkulu wabonisa nokuthi wayemkhathalela u-Elisha lapho edinga usizo olukhulu. Inkosi uBheni-Hadadi yayibuthe kaningi amabutho aseSiriya ukuba ayolwa no-Israyeli. Nokho njalo lapho ehlasela, amabutho akwa-Israyeli ayezilungiselele ngandlela thize ukuze aqhubekele phambili. Wayecabanga ukuthi kwakukhona inhloli ekamu, ngakho waqoqa izikhulu zakhe wabuza: “Ngubani lowo mhlola phakathi kwethu na?” Omunye wathi: “Nkosi yami, umprofethi u-Elisha, uyakwazi phambi kwenkosi ngokwayo. usefikile." Ngakho inkosi uBheni-Hadadi yayala amabutho ayo ukuba ahlasele iDothani, umuzi wakubo ka-Elisha. Singacabanga ukuthi kwakubukeka kanjani lokho? “Bayede, nkosi uBeni-Hadadi! Uyaphi na?” Inkosi yayiphendula, “Sizombamba lowomprofethi omncane u-Elisha.” Lapho efika eDotan, ibutho lakhe elikhulu lazungeza umuzi womProfethi. Inceku ka-Elisha yaphuma ukuyokha amanzi, futhi lapho ibona ibutho elikhulu, yashaywa luvalo, yabuyela ku-Elisha, yathi: “Jehova, amabutho aseSiriya amelene nathi. Sizokwenzenjani na?” U-Elisha wathi: “Ungesabi, ngoba abanathi baningi kunabanabo!” Kumelwe ukuba le nsizwa yacabanga, “Makhulu, ibutho elikhulu lisihaqile ngaphandle futhi uhlanya olumi nami lapha." Kepha u-Elisha wakhuleka wathi: “Jehova, vula amehlo ale nsizwa ukuba ibone.” UNkulunkulu wavula amehlo ayo, wabona ukuthi ibutho lama-Aramu lalizungezwe amabutho kaJehova kanye noquqaba lwamahhashi omlilo nezinqola zempi.2. Amakhosi 6,8-enye).
Umlayezo wemiBhalo Engcwele ngokuqinisekile yilokhu: ngezikhathi ezithile sinomuzwa wokuthi ohambweni lwethu lokuphila siphelelwe yisibindi nokuthi izimo zisishukumisele kwalasha wokuphelelwa yithemba. Masivume ukuthi asikwazi ukuzisiza. Ngemuva kwalokho singathembela kuJesu nasemlayezweni wakhe ukuthi uzosinakekela. Uzosinika injabulo nokunqoba. Usinika impilo yaphakade yangempela njengomfowethu othandekayo, udade othandekayo. Masingalokothi sikhohlwe lokho. Siyamethemba!
