Kutheni le nto kufuneka sithandazele "isonka sethu semihla ngemihla"?
"Siphe namhlanje isonka sethu semihla ngemihla" (Mateyu 6:11).
Umthandazo sesona sixhobo sinamandla uThixo asinike sona ukuba sisisebenzise kulo mhlaba. Uyayiva imithandazo yethu kwaye uyakwazi ukuyiphendula ngokungummangaliso, ngokwentando yakhe. Kuyasithuthuzela kwaye kuhlala kufutshane neentliziyo ezaphukileyo. UThixo unathi kwiimeko ezimbi zobomi bethu nakwimizuzu emikhulu yemihla ngemihla. Usikhathalele. Isandulela thina.
Xa sithandaza eNkosini yonke imihla, asikazi kwazi ngokupheleleyo ubungakanani bemfuno esiza kuyidinga ukuya esiphelweni. "Isonka semihla ngemihla" asibonelelwa ngokutya nangezinye iindlela zomzimba. Usixelela ukuba singazikhathazi ngeentsuku ezizayo, kuba "yonke imihla izisa namaxhala awoneleyo". UThixo uzalisa ngokuthembeka isibeleko somphefumlo wethu yonke imihla.
Uthini uMthandazo weNkosi?
Ibinzana elithandwayo, "sinike isonka sethu semihla ngemihla," liyinxalenye yoMthandazo weNkosi yethu, okanye uMthandazo weNkosi, owafundiswa nguYesu ngeNtshumayelo yakhe edumileyo yaseNtabeni. U-RC Sproul ubhala athi: "Isicelo soMthandazo weNkosi sisifundisa ukuba size kuThixo sinomoya wokuzithoba, simcela ukuba asinike esikudingayo kwaye asixhase imihla ngemihla". UYesu wayejongana neendlela ezahlukeneyo zokuziphatha kunye nezilingo abafundi bakhe abajamelana nazo kwaye wabanika umzekelo emva koko abaza kuthandaza. Ngokuqhelekileyo yaziwa 'njengoMthandazo weNkosi', eneneni 'nguMthandazo wabaFundi', kuba yayenzelwe ukuba ibe ngumzekelo kubo, "icacisa iNIV Study Bible.
Isonka sasibalulekile kwinkcubeko yamaJuda. Abafundi uYesu awayethetha nabo kwiNtshumayelo yaseNtabeni bakhumbula ibali likaMoses ekhokela ookhokho babo entlango kunye nendlela uThixo awabanika ngayo imana ukuba batye yonke imihla. INIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible ithi: “Ukuthandazela ukutya yayiyeyona mithandazo ixhaphakileyo mandulo. "Singamthemba uThixo, obanike abantu bakhe isonka semihla ngemihla kangangeminyaka engama-40 entlango, ukuba babasekele". Ukholo lwabo lomelezwa phantsi kwale meko bakuyo ngokukhumbula amalungiselelo kaThixo angaphambili.Nakwinkcubeko yale mihla, sisaqhubeka sibhekisa kwabo bafumana umvuzo ekhaya njengowondlayo.
Yintoni "isonka sethu semihla ngemihla"?
Wathi uYehova kuMoses, Ndiya kuninisela isonka sivela ezulwini; Abantu kufuneka baphume yonke imihla baqokelele ngokwaneleyo loo mini. Ngale ndlela ke ndiya kubavavanya ndibone ukuba bayayilandela na imiyalelo yam ”(iEksodus 16: 4).
Ukuchazwa kweBhayibhile, inguqulelo yesiGrike yesonka ngokoqobo ithetha isonka okanye nakuphi na ukutya. Nangona kunjalo, ingcambu yeli gama lakudala lithetha “ukuphakamisa, ukuphakamisa, ukuphakamisa; thatha ngokwakho kwaye uphathe okuphakanyisiweyo, thatha oko kuphakanyisiweyo, thabatha “. UYesu wayehambisa lo myalezo ebantwini, owawuza kudibanisa isonka kunye nendlala yabo yokoqobo, kunye nelungiselelo elidlulileyo lookhokho babo ngaphesheya kwentlango ngemana awayebanike yona uThixo yonke imihla.
U-Yesu wayesalatha kwimithwalo yemihla ngemihla awayeza kuyithwala njengoMsindisi wethu. Ngokufa kwakhe emnqamlezweni, uYesu wathwala wonke umthwalo wemihla ngemihla esiza kuwuthwala. Zonke izono ezaziza kukrwitshwa kwaye zisomeleze, zonke iintlungu kunye nokubandezeleka emhlabeni-Wazisa.
Siyazi ukuba sinako oko sikudingayo ukuhamba yonke imihla njengoko sihamba ngamandla akhe nobabalo lwakhe. Ayisiyiyo le nto siyenzayo, esinayo okanye esinokuyiphumeza, kodwa uloyiso lokufa esele luphunyelelwe nguYesu emnqamlezweni! U-Kristu wayesoloko ethetha ngendlela yokuba abantu baqonde kwaye banxibelelane nayo. Ixesha elininzi esilichitha esiBhalweni, kokukhona ethembekile ekutyhilweni komaleko wothando olunxibeleleneyo nawo onke amazwi azithethileyo awathethileyo nakwimimangaliso ayenzileyo. ILizwi likaThixo eliphilileyo lathetha nesihlwele ngendlela esisabhikica ngayo nanamhlanje.
"Kwaye uThixo angakusikelela kakhulu, ukuze kuzo zonke izinto ngamaxesha onke, unakho konke okudingayo, uphuphume kuwo wonke umsebenzi olungileyo" (2 kwabaseKorinte 9: 8).
Ukuthembela kwethu kuKristu akuqali kwaye kuphele ngemfuno yenyama yokutya. Nangona indlala kunye nokungabi namakhaya kuqhubeka kulonakalisa umhlaba wethu, abantu abaninzi bale mihla abahlupheki ngenxa yokunqongophala kokutya okanye indawo yokuhlala. Ukuthembela kwethu kuKrestu kukhuthazwa yimfuno yethu yokuba ahlangabezane nazo zonke iimfuno zethu. Ukukhathazeka, uloyiko, ukungqubana, umona, ukugula, ilahleko, ikamva elingalindelekanga-ukuya kuthi ga apho singakwaziyo nokuzalisa ikhalenda yeveki-konke oko kuxhomekeke kuzinzo lwakho.
Xa sithandazela ukuba uThixo asinike isonka sethu semihla ngemihla, simcela ngokoqobo ukuba ahlangabezane nazo zonke iintswelo zethu. Izidingo zomzimba, ewe, kodwa nobulumko, amandla, intuthuzelo kunye nenkuthazo. Ngamanye amaxesha uThixo uyasanelisa isidingo sethu sokugwetywa ngenxa yokuziphatha okonakalisayo, okanye asikhumbuze ukuba sandise ubabalo noxolelo ngenxa yokoyika ubukrakra ezintliziyweni zethu.
“UThixo uzakuhlangabezana nezidingo zethu namhlanje. Ubabalo lwakhe luyafumaneka namhlanje. Akunyanzelekanga ukuba sibe nexhala ngekamva, okanye nangomso, kuba yonke imihla ineengxaki zayo, ”ubhale watsho uVaneetha Rendall Risner wencwadi ethi Desiring God. Ngelixa abanye besenokungabinangxaki yokuhlangabezana neemfuno zomzimba zesondlo semihla ngemihla, abanye banengxaki yokuqaqamba kwezinye izifo.
Ihlabathi lisinika izizathu ezininzi zemihla ngemihla zokuba nexhala. Kodwa naxa umhlaba ubonakala ngathi ulawulwa sisiphithiphithi noloyiko, uThixo uyalawula. Akukho nto yenzekayo ngaphandle kwembono okanye ulawulo lwayo.
Kutheni le nto kufuneka sizithobe ngokucela uThixo ukuba asinike isonka semihla ngemihla?
“Ndim isonka sobomi. Lowo uzayo kum, akasayi kulamba; Lowo ukholwayo kum akasayi kunxanwa naphakade ”(Yohane 6:35).
UYesu wathembisa ukuba soze asishiye. Ngamanzi aphilayo kunye nesonka sobomi. Ukuthobeka xa sithandaza kuThixo ukuba asinike yonke imihla kusikhumbuza ukuba ngubani uThixo kwaye singobani njengabantwana baKhe. Ukwamkela ubabalo lukaKristu yonke imihla kusikhumbuza ukuba sincike kuye kwiimfuno zethu zemihla ngemihla. Kungenxa kaKristu ukuba sisondela kuThixo ngomthandazo. UJohn Piper uyachaza: "UYesu weza emhlabeni ukutshintsha iminqweno yakho ibe ngumnqweno wakho ophambili." Icebo likaThixo lokusenza sixhomekeke kuye yonke imihla likhuthaza umoya wokuthobeka.
Ukulandela uKristu lukhetho lwemihla ngemihla lokuthwala umnqamlezo wethu kwaye sithembele kuye ngento esiyifunayo. UPawulos wabhala wathi: "Musani ukuxhalela nantoni na, kodwa kuzo zonke iimeko, ngokuthandaza nokucela, ngokubulela, zaziseni izicelo zenu kuThixo" (Filipi 4: 6). Ngaye sifumana amandla kunye nobulumko obungaphezulu kwendalo ukuze sinyamezele iintsuku ezinzima, kunye nokuthobeka kunye nokwoneliseka kukwamkela iintsuku zokuphumla. Kuzo zonke izinto, sifuna ukuzisa uzuko kuThixo njengoko siphila ubomi bethu kuthando lukaKristu.
UBawo wethu uyayazi into esiyidingayo ukuhamba ngendlela entle yonke imihla. Nokuba lithini ixesha lomphetho womhla wethu, inkululeko esinayo kuKristu ayinakuze ishukunyiswe okanye ithatyathwe. UPeter wabhala wathi: "Amandla akhe obuThixo asinike konke esikudingayo kubomi bobungcwele ngokumazi kwethu owasibizela uzuko nokulunga kwakhe" (2 Petros 1: 3). Usuku nosuku, usinika ubabalo phezu kobabalo. Sifuna isonka sethu semihla ngemihla.
