Shesha ulinde!
Ngezinye izikhathi, kubonakala sengathi ukulinda kuyisici esinzima kakhulu kithi. Ngemva kokukholelwa ukuthi siyakwazi esikudingayo futhi sikholelwa ukuthi sesikulungele, iningi lethu lithola ukulinda isikhathi eside kucishe kungabekezeleleki. Ezweni lethu lasentshonalanga, singakhungatheka futhi siphelelwe isineke uma sima emgqeni endaweni yokudlela yamagobolondo sigqoke izingubo ezingezona ze-ayina imizuzu emihlanu kuyilapho sihlezi emotweni silalela umculo. Cabanga nje ukuthi ukhokho wakho angakubona kanjani lokho.
KumaKristu, ukulinda kuba nzima nakakhulu ukuthi sithembela kuNkulunkulu, futhi ngokuvamile sikuthola kunzima ukuqonda ukuthi kungani senza izinto esikholelwa ngokujulile ukuthi siyazidinga futhi sizenza ngokuphindaphindiwe sithandaze futhi senze konke okusemandleni kodwa asizange sikuthole. yona.
INkosi uSawule yakhathazeka futhi yakhathazeka ngesikhathi ilindele uSamuweli ukuba eze ezonikela ngomhlatshelo wempi (Ⅰ Sam3,8). Amasosha aqala ukungahlaliseki, amanye amshiya, futhi ngenxa yokukhungatheka kwakhe ngenxa yokulinda okwakubonakala kungapheli, wagcina ewenze ngokwakhe umhlatshelo. Lesi senzakalo saholela ekupheleni kohlanga lukaSawule ( ivesi 13-14 ).
Ngesinye isikhathi, iningi lethu cishe liye lazizwa njengoSawule. Siyamethemba uNkulunkulu, kodwa asiqondi ukuthi kungani engangeni noma ethule ulwandle lwethu olunesiphepho. Siyalinda futhi silinde, izinto zibonakala ziba zimbi nakakhulu, futhi ekugcineni ukulinda kubonakala kungaphezu kwalokho esingakukhuthazelela. Ngiyazi ukuthi nginomuzwa wokuthi sonke lapha ePasadena, futhi ngokuqinisekile yonke imiphakathi yethu, sazizwa ngale ndlela ngezinye izikhathi lapho sithengisa indawo yethu ePasadena.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu uthembekile futhi uthembisa ukusiletha kukho konke esihlangana nakho ekuphileni. Usekufakazele kaningi lokho. Ngezinye izikhathi udlula ekuhluphekeni nathi futhi ngezinye izikhathi - kancane kancane kubonakala - uqeda lokho ngokusobala akakaze afune ukuqeda. Kunoma ikuphi, ukholo lwethu lusibiza ukuba simethembe - sithembele ukuthi uzosenzela okulungile nokuhle. Ngokuvamile kuba ngokubheka emuva kuphela lapho singabona khona amandla esiwazuzile ngobusuku obude bokulinda futhi siqale ukuqaphela ukuthi okuhlangenwe nakho okubuhlungu kungase kube isibusiso esifihlekile.
Noma kunjalo, kuwusizi ukukhuthazela lapho sibhekene nakho, futhi siyazwelana nomhubi owabhala, “Umphefumulo wami uyesaba kakhulu; O, Nkosi, koze kube nini!” (IHu. 6,4). Kunesizathu inguqulo yeBhayibheli ye-King James endala ihumushe igama elithi “ukubekezela” ngokuthi “ukuhlupheka isikhathi eside”!
ULuka usitshela ngabafundi ababili ababedangele endleleni eya e-Emawuse ngoba kwakubonakala sengathi ukulinda kwabo kwakuyize futhi bonke balahlekile ngoba uJesu wayesefile.4,17). Kodwa ngaso leso sikhathi, iNkosi evukile, ababebeke kuyo wonke amathemba abo, yahamba eduze kwabo futhi yabanikeza isikhuthazo—kodwa nje abazange bakuqaphele lokho (amav. 15-16). Ngezinye izikhathi kwenzeka okufanayo nakithi. Isikhathi esiningi siyehluleka ukubona izindlela uNkulunkulu anathi ngazo, asibheke, asisize, asikhuthaze - kuze kube yisikhathi sakamuva.
Kwaze kwaba yilapho uJesu ehlephula isinkwa nabo “amehlo abo avuleka, bambona, wanyamalala kubo. Futhi bathi omunye komunye: Izinhliziyo zethu bezingavuthi yini kithi lapho ekhuluma nathi endleleni futhi esivulela imibhalo? ”(V. 31-32).
Uma sithembela kuKristu, asilindi sodwa. Uhlala nathi njalo ebusuku obumnyama, usinika amandla okubekezela nokukhanya ukuze sibone ukuthi konke akuphelile. UJesu uyasiqinisekisa ukuthi akasoze asishiya sodwa (Math. 28,20).
