“Waphuma, engazi ukuthi uya kuphi.”
KumaHebheru 11:8
Ingabe uke "waphuma" ngale ndlela? Uma kunjalo, akukho nkulumo enengqondo ongayinikeza lapho umuntu ekubuza ukuthi wenzani. Obunye bobunzima emsebenzini wobuKristu yilo mbuzo — "Yini olindele ukuthi uyenze?" Awazi ukuthi uzokwenzani; okuwukuphela kwento oyaziyo ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyakwazi akwenzayo. Hlala ubuyekeza isimo sakho ngakuNkulunkulu ubone ukuthi ingabe siyikho yini ukuphuma kukho konke, uthembele ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu. Yilesi simo esikugcina umangala njalo — awazi ukuthi yini uNkulunkulu azoyenza ngokulandelayo. Njalo ekuseni lapho uvuka kufanele kube "ukuphuma," wakhela phezu kokwethemba uNkulunkulu. "Ungakhathazeki ngokuphila kwakho, . . . nangomzimba wakho" — ungakhathazeki ngezinto owawukhathazeka ngazo ngaphambi kokuba "uphume."
Ingabe ubulokhu ubuza uNkulunkulu ukuthi uzokwenzani? Akasoze akutshele. UNkulunkulu akakutsheli ukuthi uzokwenzani; ukwembulela ukuthi ungubani. Uyakholelwa yini kuNkulunkulu owenza izimangaliso, futhi uyophuma yini ngokuzinikela kuYe kuze kube yilapho ungamangali ngisho nange-athomu nganoma yini ayenzayo?

Isimo sokuphila masibe "ukuphuma" okuqhubekayo ngokuncika kuNkulunkulu, khona ukuphila kwakho kuyoba nobuhle obungachazeki obuthokozisa uJesu.
