Kodi nthawi zina mumamva ngati zonse zikukutsutsani? Anthu nthawi zambiri amaitcha "kukhala ndi tsiku loipa". Ndikuganiza kuti anthu ambiri amamva chonchi panthawi ina. Chabwino, ndikukhala ndi imodzi mwa masiku amenewo lero.
Ndatopa, mapulani anga a tsikulo sakuyenda bwino ndipo zinthu zimangowoneka kuti zikuyenda molakwika. Palibe magetsi. Intaneti sikugwira ntchito. Kenaka, pamwamba pa chirichonse, ndimaponya foni yanga yatsopano pansi. Ndimaona ngati kutukwana!
Masekondi angapo pambuyo pake, zimakhala ngati kuwala kumabwera mkati mwa mtima wanga - uthenga wochokera kwa Mulungu wakuti: "Ungaletse zoipa zambiri kubwera m'dzikoli!" Usiku watha wokha, nditaonera nkhani pa TV, ndinali kuganiza za kuipa kwakukulu, uchimo ndi mdima umene ulipo m'dzikoli. Kupha kwambiri. Maunansi ambiri osweka. Kulimbana kwambiri ndi kudandaula.
Ndimakhala woyamikira kwambiri kuti ngakhale kuti sindine munthu wofunika kapena wamphamvu, ndikhoza kuletsa zoipa zambiri kufalikira m'mikhalidwe yanga, nthawi zambiri yaing'ono komanso yotopetsa. Ndiyeno vesi la m'Baibulo limabwera m'maganizo mwanga, "... kotero mudzatha kulimbana ndi mdani mu nthawi ya zoipa. Ndiyeno nkhondoyo itatha mudzakhalabe olimba." Aefeso 6:13 (NLT). Ndikuganiza za zomwe Mulungu akuyembekezera kwa ine monga Mkhristu: Kukhalabe woima - ngakhale pamene ndikukumana ndi mayesero ambiri amphamvu kuti ndichimwe pa "tsiku loipa" ili, monga momwe Baibulo limachitcha. Palibe kupereka - palibe kudandaula kapena kuwawa! Ikhoza kusiya ndi ine!
"Kumva pansi" pamene muli ndi "tsiku loipa" kwakhala kovomerezeka ndithu komanso kwachibadwa masiku ano. Pafupifupi ngati kuti anthu amakhulupirira kuti alibe chosankha. Koma bwanji osagwiritsa ntchito thandizo limene tingapeze kuchokera kwa Mulungu kuti tisinthe tsikulo? "Choncho tiyeni tibwere molimba mtima ku mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu wathu wachisomo. Kumeneko tidzalandira chifundo chake, ndipo tidzapeza chisomo chotithandiza pamene tikufunikira kwambiri." Ahebri 4:16 (NLT). Timapeza thandizo kukhala oleza mtima, mosasamala kanthu za mmene mkhalidwewo ulili wovuta, kulankhula mawu oyamikira kwa banja langa lapamtima ndi kupemphera mapemphero oyamikira kwa Mulungu Mwini.
