KWINGOMA awayiqambayo umdumisi uDavide wathandaza wathi: “Dala ngaphakathi kum intliziyo esulungekileyo, Thixo, uze ufake ngaphakathi kum umoya omtsha, oqinileyo. Buyisela kum ukugcoba ngosindiso lwakho, yaye ngamana ungandixhasa ngomoya ovumayo.” (INdumiso 51:10, 12) Emva kwesono sakhe noBhatshebha, kwezi ndinyana uDavide oguqukileyo ungxengxeza kuYehova uThixo ukuba acoce intliziyo yakhe aze afake kuye umoya, okanye utyekelo lokwenza okulungileyo.

Ngaba ngokwenene uYehova udala ngaphakathi kuthi intliziyo entsha, aze afake umoya omtsha novumayo? Okanye ngaba intliziyo esulungekileyo yinto esimele sizabalazele ukubanayo size siyilondoloze? “UYehova ungumgocagoci weentliziyo,” kodwa ngaba uyakulawula oko kwenzeka entliziyweni yethu? (IMizekeliso 17:3; Yeremiya 17:10) Unempembelelo engakanani kubomi, iinjongo nezenzo zethu?

Ngakabani “Amalungiselelo Entliziyo”?

“Ngawomntu wasemhlabeni amalungiselelo entliziyo,” itsho njalo iMizekeliso 16:1a. Kuyacaca ukuba “amalungiselelo” entliziyo ngawethu. UYehova akakhe enze ummangaliso ukuze alungise iintliziyo zethu engasiniki nento eza kubangela oko. Simele senze umgudu ukuze sifumane ulwazi oluchanileyo lweLizwi lakhe, iBhayibhile, sicamngce ngoko sikufundayo ukuze iingcamango zethu zivisisane nezo zikaThixo.—IMizekeliso 2:10, 11.

UDavide ucela “intliziyo esulungekileyo,” ‘nomoya omtsha,’ ebonisa ukuba uyayiqonda into yokuba unotyekelo lwesono nemfuneko yokuncedwa nguThixo acoce intliziyo yakhe. Ekubeni singafezekanga, sisenokulingwa ukuba senze “imisebenzi yenyama.” (Galati 5:19-21) Kufuneka sincedwe nguYehova ukuze sikwazi ‘ukubhubhisa, amalungu ethu omzimba asemhlabeni, uhenyuzo, ukungahlambuluki, inkanuko yesini, umnqweno owenzakalisayo, nokubawa.’ (Kolose 3:5) Kufuneka siluthandazele ngamandla uncedo lwakhe ukuze siphephe ukunikezela ezilingweni neentliziyo zethu zingatyekeli esonweni.
