Ukuhamba: ukudla ongakhohlwa

Abantu abaningi abahambayo bavame ukukhumbula izimpawu zendawo ezidumile njengamaphuzu avelele ohambo lwabo. Uthatha izithombe, wenze ama-albhamu ezithombe noma uwenze. Baxoxela abangane nezihlobo zabo izindaba ngalokho abakubonile nabadlule kukho. Indodana yami ihlukile. Kuye, okuvelele ohambweni lwakhe ukudla. Angakwazi ukuchaza yonke inkambo yazo zonke izidlo zakusihlwa ngokuqondile. Ukujabulela ngempela konke ukudla okumnandi.

Cishe ungakhumbula okunye ukudla kwakho okukhumbulekayo. Ucabanga ngesiteki esithambile, esinamanzi noma inhlanzi esanda kubanjwa. Kungaba isidlo saseMpumalanga Ekude, esinothiswe ngezithako ezingavamile futhi esinongwe ngama-flavour angaphandle. Mhlawumbe, ngenxa yobulula bako, ukudla kwakho okukhumbuleka kakhulu isobho esenziwe ekhaya nesinkwa esiqatha owake wasijabulela endaweni yokushicilela yaseScotland.

Usakhumbula ukuthi wazizwa kanjani ngemva kwalesi sidlo esimnandi - umuzwa wokusutha, ukwaneliswa kanye nokubonga? Bambelela kulomcabango njengoba ufunda ivesi elilandelayo kumaHubo: «Yebo, ngiyakukubonga ukuphila kwami ​​konke, ngiphakamisela izandla zami kuwe ngomkhuleko, ngidumise igama lakho. Ukusondela kwakho kuqeda ukulamba komphefumulo wami njengedili, ngizokudumisa ngomlomo wami, yebo, emlonyeni wami kuphuma intokozo enkulu.”3,5 NGU).
UDavide wayesehlane lapho ebhala lokhu futhi ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi wayengathanda idili lokudla kwangempela. Kodwa ngokusobala wayengacabangi ngokudla, kodwa ngokunye, ngothile - uNkulunkulu. Kuye ubukhona nothando lukaNkulunkulu kwakumanelisa njengedili eliwubukhazikhazi.
UCharles Spurgeon wabhala “Engcebweni Yengcebo KaDavide”: “Othandweni lukaNkulunkulu kukhona ingcebo, ubukhazikhazi, inala yentokozo egcwalisa umphefumulo, uma kuqhathaniswa nokudla okucebe kakhulu okungondleka ngakho umzimba.

Njengoba ngangizindla ukuthi kungani uDavide asebenzisa isifaniso sokudla ukuze acabange ukuthi kunjani ukwaneliseka kukaNkulunkulu, ngabona ukuthi lokho wonke umuntu emhlabeni akudingayo nalokho angakuqonda kuwukudla. Uma unezingubo kodwa ulambile, awusuthi. Uma unekhaya, izimoto, imali, abangani - konke obungakufuna - kodwa ulambile, akukho kwalokhu okusho lutho. Ngaphandle kwalabo abangenakho ukudla, abantu abaningi bayakwazi ukwaneliseka kokuba nesidlo esimnandi.

Ukudla kudlala indima ebalulekile kuyo yonke imigubho yempilo - izinsuku zokuzalwa, amaphathi okuzalwa, ukuthweswa iziqu, imishado, nanoma yini enye esingayithola ukuze siyigubhe. Sidla ngisho nangemva kokulahlwa. Isenzakalo sesimangaliso sokuqala sikaJesu kwaba idili lomshado elithatha izinsuku ezimbalwa. Lapho indodana yolahleko ibuyela ekhaya, uyise wayala ukudla kwenkosana. KusAmbulo 19,9 lithi: “Babusisiwe ababizelwe esidlweni somshado weWundlu”.

UNkulunkulu ufuna sicabange ngaye lapho sesithole “ukudla okuhle kakhulu”. Izisu zethu zihlala zisutha isikhashana nje bese silamba futhi. Kodwa lapho sizigcwalisa ngoNkulunkulu nangobuhle bakhe, imiphefumulo yethu iyokwaneliswa phakade. Zitike ngezwi lakhe, dla etafuleni lakhe, ujabulele ingcebo yobuhle nesihe sakhe, futhi umdumise ngesipho sakhe nomusa.

Mfundi othandekayo, vumela umlomo wakho ucule ngezindebe zakho udumise uNkulunkulu, okunothisayo futhi akwenze usuthise njengokungathi ngokudla okunesasasa nokucebile kakhulu!
