UDavide wamfundisa uSolomon unyana wakhe ukumoyika uYehova. Wamfundisa ukufumana ubulumko nokuqonda. Wamwisela umthetho uSolomon, ukuba awagcine amazwi akhe entliziyweni yakhe, akatyeki entethweni yomlomo wakhe. Oku kuyasebenza nakuwe, njengomKristu. Ngokukhawuleza nje wena wazalwe ngokutsha emoyeni, kufuneka uhlaziye ingqondo yakho ngeLizwi likaThixo. Njengendalo entsha; unyana kaThixo, kufuneka uzuze ubulumko nokuqonda Kwakhe. Ekuphela kwendlela yokufumana ubulumko nokuqonda ngokwasemoyeni liLizwi likaThixo.
Ufumana njani ubulumko nokuqonda njengesidalwa esitsha?
Ngaphambi kokuba ube indalo entsha, ubungowenyama kwaye ingqondo yakho izaliswe lulwazi lweli hlabathi. Umtyholi wayenguyihlo, nguyise weli hlabathi, kwaye ke ngoko ukhuliswe kulwazi lwakhe, obu bubulumko beli hlabathi. Ingqondo yakho yayihamba nengqondo yeli hlabathi.
Kodwa xa uthe waba sisidalwa esitsha, wafuduselwa kobunye uBukumkani waza wafumana uBawo omtsha; uYihlo oyinyaniso. Wena waba azalwe ngoMoya waKhe, ngoko ke waba ngunyana wakhe. Ingqondo yakho isafana kwaye isacinga njengehlabathi.

Kodwa unokuhamba ngokholo kuphela indalo entsha; unyana kaThixo, nge Ukuvuselela ingqondo yakho ngeLizwi likaThixo. Okoko nje ingqondo yakho ingahlaziywa, uya kuhlala usenyameni kwaye uhambe njengendalo endala.
UBawo ufuna ukuba ufumane ubulumko nokuqonda kwiLizwi lakhe. Ufuna ukuba uwagcine amazwi aKhe, kwaye ungatyeki emazwini akhe.
