Zolemba zamatchalitchi Pano

IT zinkawoneka ngati kubwerera kwangwiro. Aisraeli anali atangogonjetsedwa momveka bwino ndi Afilisti, choncho kuwerenga koyamba kumati adapeza lingaliro lanzeru:

Tiyeni titenge likasa la Yehova ku Silo kuti lipite kunkhondo pakati pathu ndi kutipulumutsa m’manja mwa adani athu.

Ndi iko komwe, ndi zonse zimene zinachitika ku Igupto ndi miliri, ndi mbiri ya likasa, Afilisti akanachita mantha ndi lingalirolo. Ndipo iwo anali. Choncho pamene Aisiraeli ankapita kunkhondo, ankaganiza kuti nkhondoyo inali m’mabuku. M'malo mwake…

Kumeneku kunali kugonjetsedwa koopsa, kumene Aisrayeli anataya asilikali oyenda pansi zikwi makumi atatu. Likasa la Mulungu linalandidwa…

…sizikadakhala zoyipa.

Ndikukumbukira m’chaka cha 2000, ndinalembedwa ntchito ndi bishopu wa ku Canada kuti ndibweretse utumiki wanga wolalikira m’chigawo chake. Ndinali nditangopatulira utumwi wanga kwa Mayi Wathu wa ku Guadalupe, “Likasa lachipangano latsopano,” ndipo chinali Chaka Choliza Lipenga kuyamba. Ndinadziuza ndekha kuti, “Izi ndiye! Izi ndi zomwe ndakhala ndikuzikonzekera moyo wanga wonse. ”…

Koma patapita miyezi 8, tinakumana ndi khoma lamwala. Ngakhale bishopuyo anadandaula kuti akulimbana ndi kupembedza m’dera lolemeralo. Zalephereka! Ndipo chotero, ndi ana anga anayi, wachisanu panjira, ndi U-haul yodzaza, tinayenda ulendo wobwerera kumapiri kuchokera ku chigwa chokongola ndi chachonde kwambiri m'dzikoli.

Kunali kutha kwa dzinja kumapiri. Zonse zinali zofiirira. Wakufa. Zinkawoneka ngati ndathamangitsidwa m’Munda wa Edeni. Choipa kwambiri, ndinadzimva ngati ndalephera kotheratu, ndipo kuti tsopano Mulungu wanditaya, monga momwe Davide anamvera chisoni:

Koma tsopano mwatitaya, ndi kutichititsa manyazi; (Lero Salmo, 44)

Ndipo kotero, ine ndinatenga gitala langa, ndikuliyika ilo muthumba lake ndipo ndinati, “Ambuye, ine sindidzatenganso ichi kachiwiri kuti ndichite utumiki—kupatula…” Ine ndinamverera kuti ndiwonjezere, “… Inu mundifunse ine kutero.”

Kupanga umboni wautali ^[1]cf. Umboni Wanga mwachidule, chinali chaka chotsatira nditagwiranso ntchito pa wailesi yakanema pamene ndinachotsedwa ntchito, ndipo Ambuye anandiitana ine kuti ndibwerere mu utumiki—koma tsopano, mogwirizana ndi zimene Iye amafuna. Sikuti Iye sankafuna ine mu utumiki. M'malo mwake, Iye ankafuna kuti ine ndimuyike Isaki wanga pa guwa; Ankafuna kuti ndiphwanye mafano a kudzidalira, kunyada, ndi kufuna kutchuka.

Ndicho chifukwa chake Aisrayeli sanapambane tsiku limenelo—osati chifukwa chakuti Mulungu sanali nawo, koma chifukwa chenichenicho Iye anali. Iye anali wodera nkhaŵa kwambiri za mkhalidwe wa miyoyo yawo kuposa mkhalidwe wa zochitika zawo, wodera nkhaŵa kwambiri ndi “chithunzi chachikulu” cha chipulumutso kuposa kumenyedwa kwa mbiri yawo. Chotero, zikanatha zaka 20 kuti likasalo libwezedwe kwa Aisrayeli ndipo Samueli akumuuza kuti:

Ngati mungabwerere ku LORD Chotsani milungu yanu yachilendo ndi Asitaroti anu ndi mtima wanu wonse, ikani mitima yanu kwa YehovaORD, ndi kumtumikira Iye yekha, ndiye YehovaORD ndipo anasala kudya tsiku lomwelo, nati, Tacimwira Yehova.ORD. "

Mu Uthenga Wabwino wa lero, m’malo mosunga machiritso ake pakati pa iye ndi mkulu wa ansembe, wakhateyo anapita kukauza aliyense za izo, motero anatulutsa Yesu m’mudzi umene munali anthu ambiri: Yesu analepheretsedwa. Koma makamu a anthu anadza kumfuna Iye. Mwina, ngati sikunali chifukwa chotsekeredwa ndi kusamvera wakhate, a chozizwitsa cha kuchuluka kwa mikate ndi nsomba mwina sichinachitikepo—chozizwitsa chimene mpaka lerolino chimatidabwitsa, chikutiphunzitsa, ndi kutipatsa chiyembekezo m’kusamalira kwa Mulungu.

Tsono ngati mwalepheretsedwa ndi thanzi, kusapeza maubale, ntchito, zinthu zochitira utumiki, kuchita zomwe mumatsimikiza kuti ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu… musataye mtima. M'malo mwake, lolani Mulungu kuti aulule uthenga wozama mu mtima mwanu, kufunika kodalira kwambiri, kuphwanya mafano, ndi kudikira…. chifukwa Atate amadziwa kupatsa”perekani zabwino kwa amene akumpempha Iye. " ^[2]onani. Mateyu 7: 11

Khulupirira Yehova ndi mtima wako wonse,
pa luntha lako wekha usadalire;
Umukumbukire m’njira zako zonse;
ndipo Iye adzawongola mayendedwe ako.
Usamadzione kuti ndiwe wanzeru,
opa Yehova ndi kupatuka pa zoipa...
( Miyambo 3:5-7 )
