Overcoming Life’s Barriers

  

By Dorcas Moyo

"Challenges destruct, but do not deny."

Gungwa Dzvuku harina kukundikana vana veIsraeri pakuyambuka. Vakayambuka, kunyange mvura yaivapo. Zvakare, hondo yaPharaoh yakanga ichivatevera kumashure. (Eksodho 14–15)

Rwizi rweJorodhani rwakanga rwazara mafloods pakuyambuka, asi vana veIsraeri vakayambuka zvawo. Barriers dzaivapo, asi hazvina kuvadzora. It was a journey full of obstacles. (Joshua 3:15–17)

Masvingo eJericho akangodonha nekuimba, kupembera, uye kuridzwa kwebhosvo. Guta rakatorwa. (Joshua 6)

Goliathi aityisa vana veIsraeri. Mambo Sauro akavimbisa mwanasikana wake kuna ani zvake aigona kukunda Goliathi. David akatarisana nebarrier—Goliathi—to receive the promised bride. (1 Samuel 17:4–8, 34–37, 50)

Rwizi Kishoni rwaivepo pakuyambuka kwaDebhora naBaraki. Mhepo yakasimuka, asi vakayambuka. Mhepo yakadzikama. (Vatongi 4 & 5:21)

Yes, in life we face many challenges. These obstacles might delay progress, they may distract—but they do not deny destiny. Zvinganonoka, hongu—asi hazvirambi.

Mwari wedu mupenyu. Vana vaIsraeri havana kutsvaga vamwe vanamwari pakasangana zvipingamupinyi. Debhora naBaraki vakaramba vakamira naMwari, kunyange mhepo yaisimuka.

Utambure sei, chikwambo hachipedzi nhamo. Urware sei, kun’anga hakuendwi. Ramba wakamira naMwari.

Mwari ngaamire nemi misi yose. Itirwai nyasha, tipiwe mweya wekumira naMwari pakutambudzwa kwose. Amen.
