BAEFESE 5

9Ditholwana tsa lesedi ke tsohle tse molemo, tse lokileng le tsa nnete. 10Kgethang tse kgahlisang Morena. 11Le se ke la ikamahanya le mesebetsi e nyopang ya lefifi, le mpe le e nyatse. 12Tseo ba di etsang sephiring, le ho di bolela ho dihlong, 13empa tsohle di totobatswa ke lesedi. 14Tsohle tse bonahatswang ke lesedi di fetoha lesedi. Ke ka baka leo ho thweng:

“Tsoha, wena morabadi,

tsoha bafung,

mme Kreste o tla o bonesetsa.”

In the movie Awakenings, Robin Williams says, ‘The human spirit is more powerful than any drug and that is what needs to be nourished: with work, play, friendship and family.’

When we think of the human spirit, we are amazed, but how much more amazed can we be when taking on the Spirit of God? We are, this day, offered the power of being awakened to a beautiful experience. Let the God-Spirit speak.

Isaiah knew that the people of Zion were in captivity.

They were allowing themselves to be captured by that which drains, that which strangles life. To these people, Isaiah says: ‘Awake, awake, put on your strength, put on the beautiful garments of God.’ This is far more important than allowing yourself to be strangled by what  is not of God.
