“Ngangilokhu ngimqukula ezingalweni zami. Kodwa abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babengazi ukuthi zonke izinto ezinhle ezazibehlela zazivela kimi.” ( Hoseya 11:3 ) Ithemba labo bonke.
Lapho ngiphenya ibhuthi yami yamathuluzi, ngathola iphakethe likagwayi elidala, okungenzeka ukuthi langeminyaka yawo-60. Yayisikwe yavuleka ukuze kwakhiwe indawo enkulu kunazo zonke. Kuso kwakunomdwebo wesixhumi esinamaphuzu amathathu kanye neziqondiso zendlela yocingo. Angikhumbuli ukuthi ubani owabhala lokho ngemva kwayo yonke le minyaka, kodwa kwangikhumbuza isisho esithi: “Sibhale ngemuva kwephakethe likagwayi!” Mhlawumbe lokhu kuzwakala kujwayelekile kwabanye benu?
Kuphinde kungikhumbuze ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubhala ezintweni ezingajwayelekile. Ngiqonde ukuthini? Hhayi-ke, sifunda ngaye ebhala amagama ezandleni zakhe. U-Isaya usitshela ngale nkulumo esahlukweni 49 sencwadi yakhe. Phawula amavesi 8-13 iJerusalema liyalila, “Maye, uJehova ungishiyile, kade wangikhohlwa.” Kodwa uJehova uyaphendula: “Unina angamkhohlwa umntanakhe osancela na? Ingabe unayo inhliziyo yokulahla umntwana osanda kuzalwa enhlekeleleni yawo? Futhi noma ngabe ukhohliwe, angisoze ngakukhohlwa! igama lakho ngilobe ngokungenakucimeka ezintendeni zezandla zami.” ( NIV ) Lapha uNkulunkulu umemezela ubuqotho bakhe obuphelele kubantu baKhe! Qaphela ukuthi usebenzisa izithombe ezimbili ezikhethekile, uthando lukamama nokubhala ezandleni zakhe, isikhumbuzo esiqhubekayo kuye nakubantu bakhe!
Uma manje siphendukela kuJeremiya sifunde inkulumo lapho uNkulunkulu ethi khona: “Bheka, izinsuku ziyeza, isho iNkosi, lapho ngiyakwenza isivumelwano esisha nendlu ka-Israyeli nendlu kaJuda; singabi njengesivumelwano engasenza nawoyise mhla ngibabamba ngesandla ukubakhipha ezweni laseGibithe; + ngoba basephulile isivumelwano sami, + nakuba ngangiyindoda yabo,” + kusho uJehova. “Kepha yilesi isivumelwano engiyakusenza nendlu ka-Israyeli emva kwalezo zinsuku, isho iNkosi; Ngiyakufaka umthetho wami phakathi kwabo, ngiwulobe ezinhliziyweni zabo, ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami” ( Jeremiya 31:31-33 Schlachter 2000 ). UNkulunkulu uphinde abonise uthando lwakhe ngabantu bakhe futhi aphinde abhale ngendlela ekhethekile, kulokhu ezinhliziyweni zabo. Kodwa qaphela, lesi yisivumelwano esisha, hhayi njengesivumelwano esidala, esisekelwe ebuhleni nasemisebenzini, kodwa ukuxhumana ngaphakathi, lapho uNkulunkulu ekunika ulwazi olujulile nobudlelwane Naye!
Njengaleli phakethe likagwayi elidala, eligugile, elingikhumbuza ngentambo yepulagi enamaphuzu amathathu, ubaba wethu ubhala nasezindaweni ezihlekisayo: "Ezandleni zakhe okusikhumbuza ukwethembeka kwakhe, kanye nasezinhliziyweni zethu isithembiso kithi ngomthetho wakhe kamoya wothando ukuwugcwalisa! "
Masikhumbule njalo ukuthi usithanda ngokweqiniso futhi sikubhale phansi njengobufakazi.
Umkhuleko:
Baba, siyabonga ngokwenza kucace ukuthi siyigugu kangakanani kuwe ngendlela ekhetheke kangaka - siyakuthanda nathi! Amen
