UJOSHUWA wayenikwe umthwalo onzima kakhulu. Kwakumele akhokhele abako-Israyeli ayebangenisa elizweni ababelithenjisiwe kodwa umsebenzi lo wawungelula. Yikho uJehova wamqinisekisa njalo wamkhuthaza esithi: ‘Qina ube lesibindi. Incwadi yomthetho kayingasuki emlonyeni wakho; Yibale emini lebusuku ukuze unanzelele ukuthi wenza konke okulotshwe kuyo. Ngakho uzaphumelela.’—Josh. 1:7, 8.

Lathi zinengi inhlupho esihlangana lazo ngoba siphila ‘ezikhathini ezinzima.’ (2 Tim. 3:1) Yikho okungasisiza ukuthi siphumelele yikulandela iseluleko uJehova asinika uJoshuwa. Kufanele silibale zikhathi zonke iBhayibhili njalo sisebenzise izimiso ezitholakala kulo nxa sihlangana lenhlupho.

Lanxa kunjalo abanengi bethu kabakuthandi kangako ukubala. Kodwa ukubala iBhayibhili yikho kuphela okungasenza siphumelele. Ngakho hlola ibhokisi elithi, “ Amacebo Angakusiza” ukuze uthole imicijo ezakwenza ukholise njalo uncedakale nxa ubala iBhayibhili.

Umhubi wahlabela wathi: “Ngiqondisa endleleni yemilayo yakho, ngokuba khonapho ngifumana ukuthokoza.” (Hubo. 119:35) Ukubala iLizwi likaNkulunkulu kungakwenza uthole intokozo. Ngakho gebha ujule kulo ukuze uthole amagugu angakunceda.

Lanxa ungaphiwanga umsebenzi wokukhokhela isizwe njengoJoshuwa, ukubala iBhayibhili kuzakusiza ukuthi ulwisane lezakho inhlupho. Yikho lawe lingisela uJoshuwa ngokubala konke okulotshiweyo ukuze uncedakale. Ungenza njalo uzathola inhlakanipho njalo uphumelele.
