Indlela kaThixo yokuqhubana nabantu abanzima
Ukuqhubana nabantu abanzima ayivavanyi nje ukholo lwethu kuThixo kodwa kukwabonisa ubungqina bethu. Omnye umntu wasebhayibhelini owaphendula kakuhle kubantu abanzima yayinguDavid, owoyisa uninzi lwabadlali abakhohlakeleyo ukuba abe ngukumkani wakwaSirayeli.
Xa wayekwishumi elivisayo, uDavid wadibana nolunye lwezona zinto zoyikisayo zabantu abanzima: umxhaphazi. Abantu abangcungcuthekisayo banokufumaneka emsebenzini, ekhaya nasezikolweni kwaye bahlala besoyikisa ngamandla abo, igunya okanye enye into.
UGoliyati wayeligorha elingumFilistiya elalisoyikisa wonke umkhosi wamaSirayeli ngokobukhulu bawo nangokulwa kwawo. Akukho mntu wazama ukudibana nale ngcungcu edabini de uDavide abonakale.
Ngaphambi kokuba ajongane noGoliyati, uDavid kwafuneka ajongane nomgxeki, umntakwabo uEliyabhi, owathi:
“Ndiyakwazi ukuba ukhukhumele kangakanani, yaye intliziyo yakho imbi kangakanani; uhle waya kubukela idabi. (1 Samuweli 17:28, NIV)
UDavid akakuhoyanga oku kugxekwa kuba le nto yayithethwa nguEliyabhi ibubuxoki. Esi sisifundo esihle kuthi. Ukubuyisela ingqalelo yakhe kuGoliyati, uDavid wabona ukuba isigebenga sithukile. Njengomalusi omncinci, uDavid wayeqonda ukuba kuthetha ntoni ukuba ngumkhonzi kaThixo:
“Bonke abo balapha baya kwazi ukuba asisindisi ngekrele okanye ngomkhonto; kuba imfazwe yekaYehova, woninikela nonke esandleni sethu. (1 Samuweli 17:47, NIV).
Ibhayibhile ekusingatheni abantu abanzima
Ngelixa kungafanelekanga ukuba siphendule abaxhaphazi ngokubabetha entloko kunye nelitye, kufuneka sikhumbule ukuba amandla ethu awakho kuthi, kodwa akuThixo osithandayo. Oku kungasinika ukuzithemba kokunyamezela xa izibonelelo zethu zinqabile.
IBhayibhile inika ulwazi oluninzi ngendlela yokujongana nabantu abanzima:
Ixesha lokubaleka
Ukulwa umntu ongcungcuthekisayo akusoloko kuyinto efanelekileyo. Emva kwexesha, uKumkani uSawule wajika waba ligorha, waleqa uDavide kulo lonke ilizwe, kuba uSawule wayenomona ngaye.
UDavid wakhetha ukubaleka. USawule wayemiselwe njengokumkani kwaye uDavide wayengenakulwa naye. Wathi kuSawule:
Wanga ke uNdikhoyo angakuphindezela ngenxa yobubi obenzileyo kum, kodwa ke isandla sam asiyi kukuchukumisa. Njengoko intetho endala isithi, “Abangendawo bavela ububi, ngoko ke isandla sam asiyi kukuchukumisa. "" (1 Samuweli 24: 12-13, NIV)
Ngamanye amaxesha kuye kufuneke sibaleke ukungcungcuthekiswa ngabantu emsebenzini, esitratweni, okanye kubudlelwane obuhlukumezayo. Oku ayibobugwala. Kububulumko ukurhoxa xa singakwazi ukuzikhusela. Ukuthembela kuThixo ngobulungisa kufuna ukholo olukhulu, njengoDavide. Wayesazi ukuba kufuneka enze nini xa kufuneka abaleke kwaye awunikele eNkosini lo mbandela.
Ukujongana Nomsindo
Kamva ebomini bukaDavide, ama-Amaleki ahlasela ilali yaseTsikelage, athabatha abafazi nabantwana bomkhosi kaDavide. Izibhalo zithi uDavide namadoda akhe balila kwada akwabikho mandla.
Kuyaqondakala ukuba la madoda ayenomsindo, kodwa endaweni yokucaphuka ngama-Amaleki, atyhola uDavide:
Wakhathazeka kakhulu uDavide; kuba babethetha ngokumxuluba ngamatye. Wonke umntu wayekrakra emoyeni ngenxa yoonyana bakhe neentombi zakhe. (1 Samuweli 30: 6, NIV)
Abantu badla ngokuba nomsindo ngathi. Ngamanye amaxesha sikufanele oko, apho imeko iyafuneka ukucela uxolo, kodwa umntu okhutheleyo uhlala ekhathazekile jikelele kwaye sijolise kuye. Ukubuyela umva ayisosisombululo:
Ke uDavide wazomelezela eNkosini uThixo wakhe. (1 Samuweli 30: 6, NASB)
Ukuguqukela kuThixo xa uhlaselwa ngumntu onomsindo kusinika ukuqonda, umonde kunye nesibindi. Abanye bacebisa ukuthatha umphefumlo onzulu okanye ukubala ukuya kwishumi, kodwa eyona mpendulo kukuthandaza ngokukhawuleza. UDavid wabuza uThixo ukuba enze ntoni, waxelelwa ukuba alandele abo bathimbe, waza yena namadoda akhe basindisa iintsapho zabo.
Ukuqhubana nabantu abanomsindo kuvavanya ubungqina bethu. Abantu bajonge. Nathi sinokucaphuka okanye siphendule ngokuzolileyo nangothando. UDavide waphumelela kuba wabhenela kuLowo wayenamandla kwaye enobulumko kunaye. Sinokufunda kumzekelo wakhe.
Jonga esipilini
Oyena mntu unzima ekufanele ukuba ajongane naye sisiqu sethu. Ukuba sinyanisekile ngokwaneleyo ukuba siyakuvuma, sizibangela iingxaki ezingaphezulu kunezabanye.
UDavid wayengenomahluko. Wakrexeza noBhatshebha, emva koko wabulala indoda yakhe u-Uriya. Ejongene nolwaphulo-mthetho lukaNatan uMprofeti, uDavid wavuma:
“Ndonile kuYehova”. (2 Samuweli 12:13, NIV)
Ngamanye amaxesha sidinga uncedo lomfundisi okanye umhlobo ozinikeleyo ukusinceda ukuba siyibone kakuhle imeko yethu. Ngamanye amaxesha, xa sithobekile sicela uThixo ukuba asibonise isizathu sokubandezeleka kwethu, ngobubele usalathisa ukuba sizijonge esipilini.
Ke kufuneka senze oko kwenziwa nguDavide: ukuvuma isono sethu kuThixo kwaye uguquke, usazi ukuba uhlala esixolela kwaye esibuyisa.
UDavid wayeneziphoso ezininzi, kodwa yayinguye kuphela umntu eBhayibhileni uThixo ambiza ngokuba "yindoda eyentliziyo yam." (IZenzo 13:22, NIV) Ngoba? Kungenxa yokuba uDavide wayexhomekeke ngokupheleleyo kuThixo ukuba alathise ubomi bakhe, kuquka ukujongana nabantu abanzima.
Asinakubalawula abantu abanzima kwaye asinakho ukubatshintsha, kodwa ngokhokelo lukaThixo sinokubaqonda ngcono kwaye sifumane indlela yokujongana nabo.
