Kungani Ulindile?Isampula

“Kungani ulindile? Memeza manje!”

Umlayezo wezohwebo ubucacile. Uma ungazange ushaye ucingo emizuzwini engu-30 elandelayo, uzolahlekelwa okuningi. Bekudingeka ukwenze MANJE, ikhadi lesikweletu lisesandleni!!

Impilo yobuKristu ayivamisile ukusebenza njengabantu abanolwazi. Asijwayele ukuthola esikufunayo MANJE, futhi ukuphatha ubudlelwano bethu noNkulunkulu ngendlela okufanele Enze ngayo MANJE kuzosikhungathekisa futhi kusidide. Kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi izindlela zikaNkulunkulu akuzona izindlela zethu (Isaya 55:8-9)!

Kungani kubonakala sengathi uNkulunkulu uvame ukusenza silinde Kuye ukuze sithole izimpendulo ezintweni eziningi kangaka? Ngizwe uthisha muva nje ethi silinde iNkosi ngoba 1) yenza umsebenzi omkhulu NGAPHANDLE kwethu ngesikhathi sokulinda, njengoba Wenza ekuxhumaniseni isigaba somhlaba ngenkathi uJosefa elindele ukubuyiselwa emndenini wakhe, 2) Wenza umsebenzi omkhulu NGAPHAKATHI kwethu ngesikhathi sokulinda, njengoba Enza kuDavide lapho elindele ukukhululwa nguNkulunkulu kuSawule, noma 3) kokubili. Ngakho, inkathi ngayinye yokulinda inenjongo enkulu, esingase singayithandi kodwa noma kunjalo esebenza kithi (2 KwabaseKorinte 4:17).

Kodwa senzani ngenkathi sisalindile? Isiqephu sanamuhla siyafundisa. Kukho, siyafunda, “Ngimlindele uJehova, umphefumulo wami uyalinda, futhi ngiyethemba izwi lakhe” (AmaHubo 130:5). Njengoba silindele ukuthi uNkulunkulu aphendule izinto Nguyena kuphela ongashintsha, kufanele sikhuthaze izinhliziyo zethu NSUKU ZONKE eZwini lakhe. Lapho, singakhuthazeka lapho sifunda indlela Asebenza ngayo ezimpilweni zabantu ababelindele uJehova, njengo-Abrahama, uSara, uJobe, uPawulu, nabanye abangabalwa.

KuLuka 2, sifunda ngomprofethikazi u-Ana, “umfelokazi owayeneminyaka engaba ngamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nane, owayengasuki ethempelini, kodwa ekhonza uNkulunkulu ngokuzila ukudla nangokukhuleka ubusuku nemini” ( NgokukaLuka 2:37). U-Ana walinda KONKE ukuphila kwakhe ukuze abone uMesiya othenjisiwe, futhi lokho akwenza lapho esalindile kukhuluma lukhulu. Wayekhonza uNkulunkulu ngokuzila ukudla nangokukhuleka ubusuku nemini. Nakuba singeke sikwazi ukuzila ukudla futhi sithandaze umzuzu nomzuzu wansuku zonke, izinhliziyo zethu zingaphawulwa ukuma kwenhlonipho nokukhulekela ngenkathi silindele uNkulunkulu.

Ingabe silindela uNkulunkulu ngokulindela, njengoba kwenza u-Ana? Ingabe siyamethemba sisalindile? Ingabe siyazindla ngeZwi laKhe, sazi ukuthi uthembekile ukwenza lokho akushilo?

Ukuze uphendule umbuzo, "Kungani ulindile?" Ngithi silinde ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu, nakho konke akwenzayo ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwethu, kukufanele ukulinda!
