Eduzane leBhabheli kwakuledolobho okwakuthiwa yi-Uri. Abantu abanengi ababehlala edolobheni lelo babekhonza onkulunkulu bamanga. Kodwa kwakulendoda eyayihlala lapho eyayikhonza uJehova kuphela. Ibizo layo kwakuthiwa ngu-Abrahama.
UJehova wathi ku-Abrahama: ‘Suka elizweni lakini lasebantwini bakini uye elizweni engizakutshengisa lona.’ UNkulunkulu wasemthembisa wathi: ‘Ngizakwenza ube yisizwe esikhulu njalo zonke izimuli ezisemhlabeni zizabusiswa ngawe.’
U-Abrahama wathembela kuJehova lanxa wayengakwazi ukuthi ufuna aye ngaphi. Yikho u-Abrahama, umkakhe uSara, uyise uThera lomntanomnewabo uLothi balalela bathatha impahla zabo basuka e-Uri.
U-Abrahama wayeleminyaka engu-75 ngesikhathi yena lemuli yakhe befika elizweni uJehova ayefuna ukubatshengisa lona. Ilizwe lelo kwakuthiwa yiKhenani. UNkulunkulu wakhuluma lo-Abrahama elizweni lelo wamthembisa wathi: ‘Ilizwe leli ngizalipha izizukulwane zakho.’ Kodwa u-Abrahama loSara basebegugile futhi bengelabantwana. Manje uJehova wayezakwenzani ukuze lokho ayekuthembise u-Abrahama kwenzakale?
“Ngokholo u-Abrahama wathi ebizwa walalela, waphuma waya endaweni ayezayiphiwa ukuthi ibe yilifa lakhe. Wahamba lanxa wayengakwazi ukuthi uya ngaphi.”—KumaHebheru 11:8
