Compreensão
A verdadeira compreensão vem de Deus. Os caminhos do Senhor são mais altos que os nossos. Mas Ele nos convida a buscar entendimento — e promete iluminar quem o busca de coração.
A sabedoria de Deus
Os meus pensamentos não são os vossos pensamentos. A incompreensibilidade de Deus nos leva à humildade e adoração.
"Njengomkhathi uphakeme kulomhlaba,
ngokunjalo izindlela zami ziphakeme kulezindlela zenu,
lemicabango yami iphakeme kulemicabango yenu.
Maye kulowo ophikisa uMdali wakhe,
kulowo oludengezi nje
phakathi kwendengezi emhlabathini.
Ibumba liyatsho na kumbumbi lithi,
‘Kuyini okubumbayo?’
Umsebenzi wakho uyatsho na uthi,
‘Kalazandla?’
Kalazi yini?
Kalizwanga na?
UThixo unguNkulunkulu waphakade,
uMdali wemikhawulo yomhlaba.
Kayikudinwa kumbe akhathale,
ukuqedisisa kwakhe kakho ongakulinganisa.
Umkhulu uThixo njalo ufanele kakhulu ukudunyiswa;
ubukhulu bakhe kakho ongabulinganisa.
Izintaba zingakabikhona
lalapho ungakawuvezi umhlaba kanye lelizwe,
kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade unguNkulunkulu.
Ngoba iminyaka eyinkulungwane ekuboneni kwakho
injengosuku olusanda kudlula,
kumbe njengomlindo webusuku.
Yeka ukuzika kwenotho yenhlakanipho kanye lokwazi kukaNkulunkulu!
Yeka ukwahlulela kwakhe okungeke kuhlolwe,
kanye lezindlela zakhe ezingeke zilandelwe!
Buscar entendimento
Clama a mim e responder-te-ei. A sabedoria é a coisa principal — busque o entendimento com todo o coração.
‘Ngibiza ngizakusabela, ngikutshele izinto ezinkulu ezifihlakeleyo ongazaziyo.’
Ukuhlakanipha kuyinqaba; ngakho zuza ukuhlakanipha.
Zuza ukuqedisisa loba kungathatha konke olakho.
Umuntu obekezelayo uyazwisisa kakhulu,
kodwa ophanga ukuthukuthela uveza ubuthutha.
Inhliziyo yomuntu igcwele amacebo amanengi,
kodwa yisimiso sikaThixo esimayo.
Umuntu ubona kungathi zonke izindlela zakhe zilungile,
kodwa uThixo uhlola inhliziyo.
Ngiyaqhubeka ngicela ukuba uNkulunkulu weNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu, uYise oyinkazimulo, alinike uMoya wokuhlakanipha lokwambulelwa ukuze limazi ngcono.
Kodwa khulani emuseni lasekwazini iNkosi yethu loMsindisi uJesu Khristu.
Inkazimulo kayibe kuye khathesi lanininini! Ameni.
Iluminação divina
A entrada da tua Palavra dá luz e entendimento. Deus revela verdades ocultas e transforma nossa visão da realidade.
Ukwambulwa kwamazwi akho kuletha ukukhanya;
kunika ukuzwisisa kwabayizithutha.
Ngizakutshengisa ngikufundise indlela ofanele uhambe ngayo;
ngizakweluleka ngikulinde.
Njengoba ungayazi indlela yomoya,
loba ukubunjwa komzimba esiswini sikanina,
yikho ungeke uzwisise umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu,
uMenzi wezinto zonke.
UJesu waphendula wathi, "Ngempela ngiqinisile ngithi kini, akakho ozawubona umbuso kaNkulunkulu ngaphandle kokuba azalwe kutsha."
UJesu wabakhangela wathi, "Ngokwabantu, lokhu kakwenzeki kodwa ngoNkulunkulu zonke izinto ziyenzeka."
Wahlala phansi uJesu wabiza abalitshumi lambili wathi kubo, "Nxa ekhona ofuna ukuba ngowokuqala, kabe ngosekucineni, abe yisisebenzi sabo bonke."
AkulamJuda loba oweZizweni, isigqili loba okhululekileyo, owesilisa loba owesifazane, ngoba lonke limunye kuKhristu uJesu. Nxa lingabakaKhristu, ngalokho liyinzalo ka-Abhrahama, lezindlalifa njengokutsho kwesithembiso.
kodwa zihloleni zonke; libambelele kokulungileyo, lixwaye konke okubi.
Ngoba lanxa sihlala emhlabeni, kasilwi mpi njengokwenziwa ngumhlaba.
Ngakho amehlo ethu kasiwakhangelisanga kokubonakalayo, kodwa kokungabonakaliyo, ngoba okubonakalayo kuyedlula, kodwa okungabonakaliyo kuyahlala laphakade.
Ekulingweni, kakho okumele athi, "UNkulunkulu uyangilinga." Ngoba uNkulunkulu angeke alingwe yibubi, futhi kalingi muntu;
