Kwakutheni ukuze uThixo asinike iindumiso? Ndingakuqala njani ukuthandaza iindumiso?
Ngamanye amaxesha sonke siyasokola ukufumana amagama okuchaza iimvakalelo zethu. Kungenxa yoko le nto uThixo wasinika iiNdumiso.
I-anatomy yawo onke amalungu omphefumlo
Umhlaziyi wenkulungwane ye-XNUMX, uJohn Calvin, wabiza iiNdumiso ngokuthi "yiAnatomy yazo zonke iindawo zoMphefumlo" wayiqaphela lonto
Akukho mvakalelo umntu anokuyazi ukuba ayimelwe apha njengesipili. Okanye, uMoya oyiNgcwele uzobe apha. . . Zonke iintlungu, iintlungu, uloyiko, amathandabuzo, amathemba, amaxhala, ukudideka, ngamafutshane, zonke iimvakalelo eziphazamisayo ezingqondo zamadoda aziyi kuphazamiseka.
Okanye, njengokuba omnye umntu euphawulile, ngelixa sonke iSibhalo sithetha nathi, iiNdumiso zithetha ngathi. IiNdumiso zisinika isigama esityebileyo sokuthetha noThixo ngemiphefumlo yethu.
Xa silangazelela ukunqula, sineendumiso zokubulela nokudumisa. Xa sibuhlungu kwaye sidimazekile, sinokuthandaza iindumiso zesililo. Iindumiso zinika ilizwi kumaxhala ethu kunye noloyiko kwaye zisibonise ukuba siziphosa njani iinkxalabo zethu eNkosini kwaye sihlaziye ukuthembela kwethu kuye. Kwanaxa uziva unomsindo nobukrakra ubonakaliswa kwiindumiso eziqalekisayo, ezisebenza njengesihobe sokukhala, ukudubuleka ngumsindo nomsindo. (Inqaku kukunyaniseka nomsindo wakho phambi koThixo, sukuwukhuphela umsindo wakho kwabanye!)
Umdlalo wentlawulelo kwindawo yokubonela yomphefumlo
Ezinye zeNdumiso ngokuqinisekileyo zishiyiwe. Thatha iNdumiso 88: 1 ethetha enye yezona ndawo zingenathemba kuzo zonke iZibhalo eziNgcwele. Kodwa ezo ndumiso ziluncedo, kuba zisibonisa ukuba asisodwa. Abangcwele naboni bakudala nabo bahamba kwintlambo yethunzi elimnyama lokufa. Akungomntu wokuqala ukuba uzive ugutyungelwe kukungabi nathemba.
Kodwa ngaphezulu koko, iindumiso, xa zifundwa xa zizonke, zibonisa umdlalo wenkululeko kwindawo yokubonela yomphefumlo. Abanye abaphengululi beBhayibhile baqwalasele imijikelezo emithathu kwiindumiso: imijikelezo yokuqhelaniswa, ukuphazamiseka, kunye nokuhlelwa kwakhona.
1. Ukuziqhelanisa
Iindumiso zokuqhelanisa nomsebenzi zisibonisa uhlobo lobudlelwane noThixo esenzelwe bona, ubudlelwane obonakaliswa kukuthembana nokuthembela; uvuyo kunye nokuthobela; ukudumisa, uvuyo kunye nolwaneliseko.
2. Ukudidiyela
Iindumiso zokudideka zisibonisa abantu kwimeko yabo yokuwa. Ixhala, uloyiko, iintloni, ityala, ukudakumba, umsindo, ukuthandabuza, ukuphelelwa lithemba: yonke i-kaleidoscope yeemvakalelo zabantu ezinobungozi ifumana indawo kwiiNdumiso.
3. Ukujonga kwakhona
Kodwa iindumiso zokuvuselela ngokutsha zichaza uxolelwaniso kunye nokuhlangulwa kwimithandazo yokuguquka (iindumiso ezidumileyo), iingoma zokubulela kunye neengoma zokudumisa eziphakamisa uThixo ngezenzo zakhe zokusindisa, ngamanye amaxesha zikhomba kuYesu, iNkosi enguMesiya. noKumkani wakwaDavide oya kuzalisekisa izithembiso zikaThixo, aseke ubukumkani bukaThixo, enze zonke izinto zibe ntsha.
Uninzi lweendumiso ziwela kwelinye lala mahlelo, ngelixa i-psalter iyonke ishiya ikakhulu ukusuka ekudidekeni ukuya kolunye uhlengahlengiso, ukusuka ekulileni nasekulileni kunqule kwaye kudunyiswe.
Le mijikelo ibonakalisa isiseko seSibhalo: indalo, ukuwa kunye nentlawulelo. Sadalelwa ukuba sinqule uThixo.Njengoko isitsho ikatekizimu yakudala, "Eyona njongo iphambili yomntu kukuzukisa uThixo, kwaye simvuyele ngonaphakade." Kodwa ukuwa kunye nesono esizimeleyo sishiya sibhidekile. Ubomi bethu, rhoqo kunangoku, bugcwele ixhala, iintloni, ityala kunye noloyiko. Kodwa xa sidibana noThixo wethu okhululayo phakathi kwezo meko zikhathazayo kunye neemvakalelo, siphendula ngokuzithoba, ukudumisa, ukubonga, ithemba nokudumisa.
Ukuthandaza kwiiNdumiso
Ukufunda nje le mijikelo isisiseko kuya kusinceda siqonde ukuba iindumiso ezahlukeneyo zingasebenza njani ebomini bethu. U-echo Eugene Peterson, iindumiso zizixhobo zomthandazo.
Izixhobo zisinceda senze umsebenzi, nokuba silungisa itompu eyaphukileyo, sakha indawo entsha, sitshintsha enye imoto, okanye sihamba ehlathini. Ukuba awunazo izixhobo ezifanelekileyo, uya kuba nexesha elinzima kakhulu lokwenza umsebenzi.
Wakhe wazama ukusebenzisa i-Phillips screwdriver xa ufuna intloko ethe tyaba? Amava adandathekisayo. Kodwa oku akubangelwa sisiphene sePhillips. Ukhethe nje isixhobo esingalunganga somsebenzi owenzileyo.
Enye yezona zinto zibaluleke kakhulu esinokuzifunda njengoko sihamba noThixo yindlela yokusebenzisa iZibhalo njengoko wayezimisele. Sonke iSibhalo siphefumlelwe nguThixo, kodwa asizizo zonke iZibhalo ezifanelekileyo kuzo zonke iimeko zentliziyo. Kukho iindidi ezivela kuThixo kwilizwi eliphefumlelwe nguMoya-ezahlukeneyo ezihambelana nobunzima bemeko yomntu. Ngamanye amaxesha sidinga intuthuzelo, ngamanye amaxesha imiyalelo, ngelixa ngamanye amaxesha sidinga imithandazo yokuvuma izono kunye nesiqinisekiso sobabalo lukaThixo kunye noxolelo.
Umzekelo:
Xa ndisekuloo nto ndixakeke ziingcinga, ndiye ndomelezwe ziindumiso ezibonisa ukuba uThixo uliliwa lam, indawo yam yokusabela, umalusi wam, inkosi yam enobukumkani (umz. Iindumiso 23: 1, IiNdumiso 27: 1, IiNdumiso 34: 1, IiNdumiso 44: 1, IiNdumiso 62: 1, iiNdumiso 142: 1).
Xa ndihlaselwa zizilingo, ndifuna ubulumko beendumiso ezikhokelela amanyathelo am kwiindlela zikwimifanekiso eqingqiweyo kaThixo (o.eNdumiso 1: 1, iiNdumiso 19: 1, iiNdumiso 25: 1, Iindumiso 37: 1, IiNdumiso 119: 1).
Xa ndiyivuthele kwaye ndaziva ndonganyelwe sisazela, ndifuna iindumiso zokundinceda ndithembe inceba kaThixo nothando olungagungqiyo (umz.Iindumiso 32: 1, Iindumiso 51: 1, Iindumiso 103: 1, Iindumiso 130 : 1).
Ngamanye amaxesha, kuye kufuneke ndixelele nje kuphela ukuba ndimnqwenela kangakanani, okanye ndimthanda kangakanani, okanye ndifuna ukumdumisa njani (umz. Iindumiso 63: 1, iiNdumiso 84: 1, iiNdumiso 116: 1, iiNdumiso 146: 1).
Ukufumana kunye nokuthandaza kwiindumiso ezilunge ngakumbi iimeko ezahlukeneyo zentliziyo yakho kuya kuguqula amava akho okomoya ngokuhamba kwexesha.
Musa ukulinda ude ube sengxakini - Qala ngoku
Ndiyathemba ukuba abantu abasokolayo kunye nokubandezeleka bakufunda oku kwaye bakhawuleze kwiiNdumiso. Kodwa kwabo bangengxaki, mandikuxelele oku. Sukulinda de ube sengxakini yokufunda kwaye uthandaze iindumiso. Mka ngoku.
Yakha isigama somthandazo wakho. Uyayazi kakuhle imeko yomphefumlo wakho. Zijikele nzulu kumdlalo wentlawulelo owenzeka kwindawo yemidlalo yentliziyo yomntu-kwindawo yemidlalo yentliziyo yakho. Ziqhelanise nezi zixhobo zivela kuThixo. Funda ukuzisebenzisa kakuhle.
