Ulaliki: Ndine wabwino kugwa pansi nthawi zonse

“Mayendedwe a munthu wabwino amayendetsedwa ndi Yehova, ndipo amakondwera ndi njira yake. Ngakhale atagwa, sadzagwa konse; pakuti Yehova amamuthandiza ndi dzanja lake” (Salmo 37:23-24 NKJV).
Ndinkafuna kubweretsa uthenga womwe ungatilimbikitse pamene tikumaliza chaka chimodzi ndikukonzekera kulowa china. Maganizo anga anali kukhudzidwa ndi mawu awa a Davide mu Salmo 37. Kwenikweni ndinapeza kuti ndikuwagwiritsa ntchito kulimbikitsa anthu angapo omwe anali kukumana ndi mavuto, ndipo ndimaganiza kuti chowonadi m'lembali chingatithandize tonse.
Liwu limodzi lapadera m'lemba lathu likuonekera m'maganizo mwanga. Ndi liwu lakuti “ngakhale” lomwe lili kumayambiriro kwa vesi 24: “Ngakhale atagwa.” Mabaibulo ena amati, “Akagwa.” Onani kuti silinena kuti, “Ngati atagwa.” Pali kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa “nthawi” ndi “ngati.” Lachiwirili likunena za kuthekera; loyamba likunena za chitsimikizo. Davide anamvetsa kuti okhulupirira onse amagwa pamapeto pake. Timapunthwa, timataya njira yathu, timavutika, ndipo nthawi zina timapunthwa ndi kugwa paulendo wathu. Palibe amene sali womasuka. Tonsefe timagwa posachedwa kapena mtsogolo. Ndi zomwe zimachitika tikagwa zomwe zimapangitsa kusiyana konse.

Tikhoza kufotokoza mwachidule chiphunzitso cha lemba ili m'mawu awiri osavuta:
I. Mulungu amaika sitepe iliyonse yomwe timachita—chabwino ndi choipa, chachimwemwe ndi chachisoni, chabwino ndi choipa.
Verebu lakuti “kulamula” ndi lamphamvu kwambiri m'Chiheberi choyambirira. Limatanthauza kukhazikitsa chinthu kuti chikhale ndi maziko olimba. Miyambo 16:9 imatiuza kuti “mumtima mwake munthu amakonza njira yake, koma Yehova ndiye amakonza mapazi ake.” Lingaliro lomweli ndi lemba lathu. Ambiri a ife tikudziwa kuti Mulungu “amawongolera” mapazi athu (Miyambo 3:6). Koma verebu ili ndi lamphamvu kwambiri. Mulungu “samangowongolera” mapazi athu, komanso “amalamulira” kapena “amalamulira” kapena “amalamulira” mapazi athu. Izi zikuphatikizapo kutuluka ndi kubwera kwathu, kugona kwathu pansi ndi kudzuka, kudzuka ndi kugona kwathu, kugula ndi kugulitsa kwathu, kulankhula kwathu ndi kumvetsera kwathu, kuyenda kwathu ndi kuyendetsa galimoto kwathu. Chifukwa iye ndi Mulungu, palibe ngozi zomwe zimachitika kwa iye. Palibe chomwe chimachitikira mwana wa Mulungu mwamwayi, mwangozi kapena tsoka. Palibe vuto—kaya labwino kapena loipa—limene lingabwere kwa ife kupatula cholinga cha Mulungu kwa ife.

Tonsefe timadzifunsa kuti chaka chatsopano chidzabweretsa chiyani. Kodi chidzachitika ndi chiyani mu 2026? Kodi chidzakhala chaka chabwino kapena choipa kwa ife? Ndafufuza funso limenelo mosamala ndipo ndikudziwa yankho lake: Chaka chamawa chidzakhala chofanana ndi chaka chino. Mwanjira zina, zinthu zidzakhala monga mwachizolowezi. Mudzakhala ndi masiku abwino ndi masiku oipa. Mudzakhala ndi zigonjetso zina ndi kugonjetsedwa. Mudzakhala odwala kwa kanthawi ndipo mudzakhala wathanzi nthawi zambiri. Mapemphero anu ena adzayankhidwa; ena sadzayankhidwa. Maloto anu ena adzakwaniritsidwa; ena adzagundidwa ndi zinthu zovuta zenizeni. Mapulani anu ena adzakwaniritsidwa; ena sadzakwaniritsidwa. Mudzapeza kuti anzanu ena adzakhalapo pamene mukuwafuna. Ena adzakulepherani pamene mukuwafuna kwambiri. M'njira zambiri, moyo udzakhala womwewo chaka chamawa chifukwa tonsefe timakumana ndi mavuto omwewo omwe akupitiliza kuyenda ndi Ambuye. Koma dziwani izi: Mapazi anu chaka chikubwerachi "amalamulidwa" ndi Ambuye. Iye ndiye woyang'anira tsatanetsatane wa moyo wanu.

II. Mulungu akulonjeza kuti tikagwa, sitidzawonongedwa kotheratu.
Mabaibulo ena amati, "Ngakhale atagwa, sadzagwa." Taganizirani njira yomwe imadutsa m'nkhalango yowirira. Pamene woyendayenda akuyenda patsogolo, saona thanthwe litakwiriridwa pansi pa nthaka, motero amagwa pansi. Kapena amagwa pa muzu kapena saona kutsika mwadzidzidzi munjira. Pamene njirayo ndi yopapatiza komanso yokhotakhota, nthawi zina zimakhala zovuta kuti tisagwe. Moyo uli choncho. Tonsefe timagwa m'njira zambiri. Mawu omasuliridwa kuti "kuwonongedwa kotheratu" amatanthauza kuponyedwa molunjika m'dzenje lakuya. Ndi zomwe zimachitika mukaima ku Grand Canyon mukuyang'ana m'mphepete, mukuyang'ana pansi mamita 3,000, pamene wina akukankhirani kumbuyo. Mukafika pansi, simudzadzipukuta fumbi ndikupitirizabe. "Mwawonongedwa kotheratu." Mulungu akulonjeza kuti zimenezo sizidzachitika kwa inu ndi ine. Ngakhale kuti tingakumane ndi mavuto osatha, osintha moyo chaka chamawa, Mulungu sadzalola kuti tiwonongeke kotheratu. Palibe chomwe chingachitike chomwe chingawononge ubale wathu ndi iye.

Chifukwa chake n'chomveka bwino. Amatichirikiza ndi dzanja lake lamphamvu. Taganizirani za bambo akuyenda ndi mwana wake wamng'ono pambali pake. Pali njira ziwiri zomwe bambo ndi mwana angagwirire manja. Mnyamata wamng'onoyo angatambasule dzanja lake laling'ono kuti agwire dzanja lalikulu la abambo ake. Zimenezi zimagwira ntchito mpaka mwanayo atapunthwa ndipo amakakamizika kusiya dzanja la abambo ake. Koma ngati bambo ayika dzanja lake lalikulu mozungulira dzanja laling'ono la mwana wake, mnyamatayo amakhala wotetezeka zivute zitani chifukwa dzanja la abambo ake limamuchirikiza. Angapunthwe koma dzanja la abambo "limamuchirikiza".
Dziwani kuti "kugwa" kungakhale kugwa m'mavuto, tsoka kapena tsoka kapena kungakhale kugwa m'tchimo lalikulu la makhalidwe abwino.
