AKUNAKWENZEKA NGISHO NAKANCANE?
“Ngokuba uJowabe wayemlandele u-Adoniya, nakuba engamlandelanga u-Abisalomu.”
1 AMakhosi 2:28
UJowabe wamelana novivinyo olukhulu, wahlala eqotho futhi ethembekile ngokuphelele kuDavide futhi akazange amlandele u-Abisalomu owayekhanga futhi enesifiso sokuvelela, kodwa nokho ngasekupheleni kokuphila kwakhe walandela u-Adoniya oyigwala. Hlala uqaphile ukuthi lapho umuntu oyedwa ehlehle khona yikho kanye lapho noma ubani angahlehla khona (bheka 1 KwabaseKhorinte 10:13). Usudlulile esikhathini esikhulu esibucayi, manje qaphela izinto ezincane kunazo zonke; bala futhi "umkhakha ofihlekile wezinto ezincane kunazo zonke."
Sivame ukuthi — "Akunakwenzeka nakancane ukuthi ngemva kokudlula esikhathini esibucayi kunazo zonke, manje ngiphendukele ezintweni zezwe." Ungabikezeli ukuthi isilingo sizofika kuphi, into ebukeka ingenakwenzeka kunazo zonke iyona eyingozi.

Uhlale uthembekile kuNkulunkulu ngaphansi kwezilingo ezinkulu nezishubile, manje qaphela umsinga ongaphansi. Ungazihloli ngendlela egulisayo, ubheke phambili ngokwesaba, kodwa hlala uqaphile; gcina inkumbulo yakho ikhanya phambi kukaNkulunkulu. Amandla angaqaphwanga awubuthakathaka obuphindwe kabili ngoba yilapho "umkhakha ofihlekile wezinto ezincane kunazo zonke" uthena khona amandla. Abantu baseBhayibhelini bawa ezindaweni ababenamandla kuzo, hhayi ebuthakathakeni babo.
"Ukugcinwa ngamandla kaNkulunkulu" — yilokho kuphela ukuphepha.
