\u201c"Kwa maana kuugua kwangu huja kabla sijala, na kuugua kwangu kunamiminika kama maji. Kwa maana jambo nililoogopa sana limenipata, na kile nilichoogopa kimenipata."\u201d
Ayubu 3:24-25<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Tunaposoma sura za kwanza za kitabu cha Ayubu, tunajifunza kwamba Ayubu alikuwa mtu mwaminifu. Alikuwa mtu aliyemcha Mungu na kuepuka uovu; alikuwa mkamilifu na mnyoofu. Shetani alitaka kumdharau mbele za Mungu na akaruhusiwa kumnyang'anya kila kitu. Ayubu alipoteza watoto wake na mifugo yake, kisha Shetani akamshambulia Ayubu kimwili lakini hakuruhusiwa kumwua. \u201cKatika haya yote,\u201d tunaambiwa, \u201cAyubu hakutenda dhambi wala hakumhesabia Mungu uovu\u201d (Ayubu 1:22). Jibu pekee la Ayubu lilikuwa, \u201cJe, tukubali mema kutoka kwa Mungu, nasi tusikubali mabaya?\u201d Katika haya yote, Ayubu hakufanya dhambi kwa midomo yake.<\/p>

Lakini inafurahisha kumsikia Ayubu akisema, \u201cKwa maana jambo nililoliogopa sana limenipata, na jambo nililoliogopa limenipata.\u201d Alikuwa na wazo lililojengwa akilini mwake kwamba kitu kama hiki kinaweza kutokea. Hatupaswi kuruhusu mbegu za hofu kupandwa akilini mwetu, zikitushawishi na kutujaza wasiwasi, wasiwasi, au hofu.<\/p>

Mara kwa mara katika Maandiko, tunasoma, \u201cMsiogope,\u201d \u201cMsiogope,\u201d na \u201cMsijali.\u201d Mambo haya yanaonekana tena na tena kwa sababu hofu ilikuwa mojawapo ya matokeo ya dhambi kuingia ulimwenguni. Lazima tukumbuke kwamba aina hii ya hofu si ya Mungu. Kwa kweli, tunasoma, \u201cKwa kuwa watoto wameshiriki mwili na damu, yeye mwenyewe vivyo hivyo alishiriki yayo hayo, ili kwa njia ya mauti amharibu yeye aliyekuwa na nguvu za mauti, yaani, Ibilisi, na kuwaachilia huru wale ambao kwa hofu ya mauti walikuwa katika utumwa maisha yao yote\u201d (Ebr. 2:14-15). Pia tunasoma, \u201cKwa hiyo Mwana akiwaweka huru, mtakuwa huru kweli kweli\u201d (Yoh. 8:36).<\/p>

Timotheo alikuwa na tabia ya kuwa mwoga na kuruhusu hofu imshawishi, kama wengi wetu tunavyofanya. Lakini Paulo alimkumbusha, \u201cKwa maana Mungu hakutupa roho ya woga, bali ya nguvu na ya upendo na ya akili timamu\u201d (2 Tim. 1:7). Katika Wafilipi, Paulo anatukumbusha kwamba njia ya kufurahia amani hii si kujisalimisha kwa hofu zetu, bali ni kumwamini na kumtegemea Mungu wetu.<\/p>

Mtangazaji wa Leo:<\/strong>
\u201c"Msijisumbue kwa neno lo lote; bali katika kila neno kwa kusali na kuomba, pamoja na kushukuru, haja zenu na zijulikane na Mungu; na amani ya Mungu, ipitayo akili zote, itawalinda mioyo yenu na nia zenu katika Kristo Yesu."
