Usuku 7—UNehemiya Wakha Udonga

UNehemiya wezwa uNkulunkulu embiza ukuthi ayokwakha kabusha udonga lwaseJerusalema. Ngesikhathi sobizo wayesezweni elihluke ngokuphelele esebenzela inkosi, kude kakhulu nalokho okwakusenhliziyweni yakhe. Nokho, njengoba uNkulunkulu kuphela angenza, Wavula yonke iminyango futhi wenza indlela yokuba uNehemiya aqhubekele phambili kulolu bizo.

Umsebenzi wawungelula, nokho. Udonga lwase lubhidlikile. Abantu bakwa-Israyeli bahlakazeka. Futhi ukuphikiswa kwakuzofika nakanjani. Nangempela kwaba njalo.

Amadoda ezwa ngalokho uNehemiya ayezama ukukwenza futhi azama ukumelana nomsebenzi wakhe. Bamhleka usulu, bevutha intukuthelo futhi bahlela ukulimaza. Kwakukubi kangangokuthi uNehemiya kwadingeka abele ingxenye yamadoda akhe ukuba iqaphe ngezikhali uma kwenzeka izitha zakhe zivuka. Lokhu kuzonikeza ukuphepha kodwa, ngokungangabazeki, isikhathi esingasithatha kabili ukuqeda udonga.

Uma ngifunda le ndaba, ngizwa irobhothi elivela ku-Lost in Space lithi, "Danger, Will Robinson." Angazi ngawe, kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi ngiyekile. Kwakuwumsebenzi onzima, futhi lapho wengeza engozini engenzeka, mhlawumbe ebeka ukuphila kwakho engozini, isiqiniseko sobizo lwakho kufanele sigcinwe eduze kwenhliziyo.

Naphezu kwazo zonke izimo ezinzima, uNehemiya waphikelela. Futhi akagcinanga nje ngokuphikelela, kodwa nabantu ababelandela ukuhola kwakhe benza kanjalo. Ivesi 6 lithi, “ungoba abantu basebenza ngayo yonke inhliziyo yabo. Lokhu kwakungeMVA kwezinsongo—hhayi ngaphambili. Intshiseko kaNehemiya nokuzimisela kwakhe ukugcwalisa icebo likaNkulunkulu kwathathwa yilabo abasebenza naye. Leso yisibonelo esinamandla kumholi okhathele.

Okwakubonakala kuhlangene nokukhuthazela kwabo kwakuyisimo sengqondo somthandazo. Bakhala kuNkulunkulu. Eqinisweni, bakwenza lokho ngaphambi kokuba benze noma yiziphi izinyathelo zokusungula onogada ukuze baphephe. Isimo sabo sokuqala sasiwukuthandaza—umnyakazo obaluleke kakhulu ababengawenza. Futhi ngenkathi benza, uNkulunkulu wanyakaza. UNkulunkulu wasabela futhi wabavikela.

Kubalulekile ukubeka umthandazo phambili emzabalazweni wakho. Izokugqugquzela, ikukhumbuze, futhi ikugcine ugxile ekubekezeleni. Umthandazo uyadingeka ukuze sikhuthazele.

Lapho udonga seluqediwe, incwadi kaNehemiya iphetha ngamazwi athi izizwe ezizungezile zakuqaphela okwakwenzekile futhi zathi kungenxa kaNkulunkulu. Ukwethembeka kuka-Nehemiah akubonanga nje kuphela ukuthi umsebenzi usuphelile, kodwa kwakhazimulisa uNkulunkulu ngendlela eyayingeke yenzeke ukube wayeyekile.

Umthandazo wami ukuthi lolu hambo lwezinsuku eziyisi-7 likunikeze ugqozi lokuqhubeka. Khumbula izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu nokwethembeka. Landisa abesilisa nabesifazane baseBhayibhelini abangazange badikibale lapho izwe limelene nabo. Nawe ungadlula esiphephweni mngani wami.
