'n Visserige Verhaal deur Steven Wilson

The big fish took Jonah to dry land

Text Version | English | Italian


Morah het op die strand gesit en klippe in die see gegooi. Sy was kwaad! Haar ouers het altyd vir haar vertel wat om te doen en sy was moeg daarvoor. Vasbeslote om hulle nooit weer te gehoorsaam nie, het sy haar laaste klip in die water gegooi en omgedraai om te loop.

Morah sat on the beach throwing pebbles into the sea Skaars het haar klip in die see gespat, toe die water begin skommel en skuim. Groot golwe het opgerys en op die sand neergestort.

“Ai toggie!” het sy gegil en omgetol. “Ek het dit nie so hard gegooi nie!” Maar dit was nie haar klip wat veroorsaak het dat die water so heftig gereageer het nie. Dit was die veertig voet vis wat op daardie oomblik reg voor haar op die strand uitgeswem het.

Morah het gevries. Eintlik hou sy eintlik glad nie van vis nie en sekerlik nie so 'n groot een wat aanhou om vir haar te knipoog nie. Sy het gewonder wat sy moes doen, toe die groot vis skielik begin braakgeluide maak. Hy was op die punt om op te gooi en Morah het in die spervuur gestaan. Sy het net betyds agter die naaste bos ingeduik voordat die vis 'n laaste hik gegee het en oor die sand opgegooi het.

There in amongst the debris was a man Wat 'n gemors! Daar was seegras en stokke en ou lappe en...en...en.... Morah het haar oë gevryf. Sy kon skaars glo wat sy sien. Daar tussen al die gemors was 'n...man! Hy het nog geleef. Hy was so vol slym en so wit soos 'n lammetjie gebleik. Maar hy was lewendig!

Die man het sukkelend opgestaan en die groot vis het terug in die see gehop-hop.

Die man was klein met 'n gekoekte baard wat meer seegras ingehad het as hare. Sy vel was so gekreukel soos 'n droë pruim en hy het vreeslik gestink. “Wat 'n stank!” het Morah gedink toe sy haar hand oor haar neus sit en laer agter haar skans wegsink. “Hoe op aarde het hy in daardie vis beland?”

Sy het gekyk hoe hy 'n stuk dryfhout tussen sy tone uithaal, die slym in sy oë en ore skoonmaak en met die strand langs strompel totdat hy weg was.

Sy het 'n sug van verligting gegee en agter haar bos uitgeklim om huistoe te gaan.

Hoewel haar gedagtes vol was van die vreemde gebeure op die strand, was sy steeds vasbeslote om vir haar ouers te sê, dat sy besluit het om nooit weer te doen wat hulle vra nie.

The same man that told us to throw him in the sea “Ek het hom nou net gesien!” het sy haar pa se stem gehoor sê toe sy naby die huis kom. “Dit is dieselfde man, wat vir ons gesê het om hom in die see te gooi, omdat hy sy God kwaad gemaak het. Hy het gesê dit sou die storm laat stil raak. En dit het!”

“Sjoe!” het Morah se ma gesê toe sy die huis binnekom. “Hy moet 'n sterk en magtige God hê om sommer so die storm stil te maak. Waarom het hy nie verdrink nie?”

“Wel, klaarblyklik,” het Morah se pa voortgegaan, “was hy in die maag van 'n vis vir drie dae en nagte. Dit is nou 'n magtige God wat hy volg, as jy my vra.”

Morah het gevries toe hy praat van die groot vis. So dit is hoe die vreemde man binne-in die vis beland het. Hy het sy God kwaad gemaak.

“Hoe het hy sy God kwaad gemaak?” het Morah gevra en haar ouers ietwat verras, want hulle het haar nie gesien inkom nie.

Girl Cleaning “Wel,” het haar pa gesê, terwyl hy afgebuk het om sy dogter 'n groot drukkie te gee, “klaarblyklik het hy geweier om te doen wat God hom gevra het om te doen!”

“Regtig!” het Morah na haar asem gesnak toe sy onthou van die toneel van die verslonste ou man wat pas drie dae in die maag van 'n vis deurgebring het. “O liewe tyd!” En sonder om verder te dink, het Morah na haar ma gedraai en gesê, “Is daar enigiets wat Ma wil hê ek moet doen? Ma moet net vra, Ma weet. Ek sal maar net te gewillig wees.”

En daarmee het Morah 'n besem gegryp en naarstiglik die huis begin skoonmaak.

DINK!

1. Dink jy Morah was reg om nie haar ouers te wil help nie?
2. Waarom is dit belangrik om ander mense te help?
3. Watter dinge kan jy doen wat God sou help?


ONTHOU
Soms kan die eenvoudigste dade die grootste belonings gee!


'N VERS OM TE LEER
“En elkeen wat een van hierdie kleintjies 'n
beker kou water laat drink, omdat hy 'n dissipel
is, voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, hy sal sy loon
sekerlik nie verloor nie” (Matthéüs 10:42).


PRAKTIESE TOEPASSING

Watter dinge vra jou ouers jou om te doen wat jy nie regtig wil doen of lus voel om te doen nie?
Dink jy jou ongehoorsaamheid maak hulle bly of hartseer?


Kan jy dink aan dinge wat God wil hê ons moet doen wat ons nie regtig wil doen nie? Hoe dink jy
voel God as ons ongehoorsaam is aan Hom en sy Woord?


[Na bespreking:] Soms kan ons net nie die regte ding doen nie, nê? Ons het egter 'n belofte van
God in sy Woord wat sê dat Hy ons gewillig en bekwaam sal maak om sy wil te doen as ons Hom
vertrou om ons te help. Filippense 2:13 sê: “Want dit is God wat in julle werk om te wil sowel
as om te werk na sy welbehae.” Dit beteken dat God besig is om in jou te werk en jou help om aan
Hom gehoorsaam te wil wees en jou dan help om te doen wat Hy vra.


Laat ons 'n oomblik neem en God vra om ons vir ons ongehoorsaamheid aan ons ouers te vergewe en
Hom te vra om ons die krag te gee om gehoorsaam te wees aan alles wat Hy wil hê ons moet doen.

Liewe Here, help my asseblief om te weet dat elke

doen ek dit ook vir U.
Help my asseblief om U liefde

In die Naam van Jesus. Amen.
