Jozafatova modlitba<\/a><\/p>\nDrah\u00ed posluch\u00e1\u010di,<\/p>\n
dnes sa spolo\u010dne pozrieme na modlitbu menej zn\u00e1mej, no ve\u013emi d\u00f4le\u017eitej biblickej postavy \u2013 judsk\u00e9ho kr\u00e1\u013ea Jozafata. Jeho modlitba je zasaden\u00e1 do mimoriadne kr\u00edzovej situ\u00e1cie Bo\u017eieho \u013eudu a m\u00f4\u017ee by\u0165 in\u0161pir\u00e1ciou pre ka\u017ed\u00e9ho z n\u00e1s v t\u00fdch najrozli\u010dnej\u0161\u00edch chv\u00ed\u013each \u017eivota.<\/p>\n
Dvadsiata kapitola Druhej knihy kron\u00edk rozpr\u00e1va, ako sa jedn\u00e9ho d\u0148a spojili Moab\u010dania, Amon\u010dania a niektor\u00ed Meunejci, aby vo ve\u013ekej prevahe bojovali proti Jozafatovi a jeho \u013eudu a s istotou ich porazili. Kr\u00e1\u013e sa ve\u013emi pre\u013eakol, ke\u010f mu ozn\u00e1mili, \u010do sa na neho chyst\u00e1, no ihne\u010f sa rozhodol obr\u00e1ti\u0165 na Boha a vyhl\u00e1sil v celom Judsku p\u00f4st. On s\u00e1m si stal v P\u00e1novom chr\u00e1me doprostred zhroma\u017eden\u00e9ho \u013eudu, ktor\u00fd tam pri\u0161iel h\u013eada\u0165 pomoc u P\u00e1na, a za\u010dal Boha \u00fapenlivo prosi\u0165 o vyslobodenie.<\/p>\n
\u201ePane, Bo\u017ee na\u0161ich otcov, \u010di nie si Bohom na nebi a \u010di nevl\u00e1dne\u0161 nad kr\u00e1\u013eovstvami v\u0161etk\u00fdch n\u00e1rodov?\u201c Takto kr\u00e1\u013e za\u010dal Bohu pripom\u00edna\u0165, \u017ee len on je jedin\u00fdm P\u00e1nom nad svetom, a tie\u017e mu pripomenul jeho pris\u013e\u00fabenie, \u017ee ak ho bud\u00fa v \u010dase nebezpe\u010denstva vz\u00fdva\u0165, zachr\u00e1ni ich. Svoju modlitbu zakon\u010dil pokorn\u00fdmi slovami pln\u00fdmi d\u00f4very: \u201eAni nevieme, \u010do si po\u010da\u0165, k tebe upierame svoj zrak.\u201c<\/p>\n
Na to mu Boh odpovedal prostredn\u00edctvom Jachaziela: \u201eNebojte sa a nedeste sa tohto mohutn\u00e9ho davu. Nebude to boj v\u00e1\u0161, ale Bo\u017e\u00ed.\u201c A e\u0161te dodal: \u201eV tomto pr\u00edpade nemus\u00edte bojova\u0165. Rozostavte sa a zosta\u0148te st\u00e1\u0165. Uvid\u00edte, ako v\u00e1s P\u00e1n zachr\u00e1ni.\u201c<\/p>\n
Ke\u010f si kr\u00e1\u013e vypo\u010dul Bo\u017e\u00ed odkaz, poklonil sa Bohu tv\u00e1rou k zemi a hne\u010f usporiadal vojsko: na \u010dele \u0161\u00edku i\u0161li spev\u00e1ci, ktor\u00ed Bohu spievali chv\u00e1ly. Predch\u00e1dzali ozbrojencov a volali: \u201e\u010eakujte P\u00e1novi, lebo naveky trv\u00e1 jeho milos\u0165!\u201c Akon\u00e1hle za\u010dali jasa\u0165 a velebi\u0165 Boha, P\u00e1n porazil nepriate\u013esk\u00e9 vojsk\u00e1 tak, \u017ee sa navz\u00e1jom ni\u010dili. Ke\u010f pri\u0161li judsk\u00ed mu\u017ei na bojisko, na\u0161li u\u017e len m\u0155tve tel\u00e1 svojich nepriate\u013eov. Pobrali si teda vojnov\u00fa koris\u0165 a vr\u00e1tili sa domov.<\/p>\n
\u010co n\u00e1s m\u00f4\u017ee nau\u010di\u0165 Jozafatova modlitba, vysloven\u00e1 vo ve\u013emi v\u00e1\u017enej situ\u00e1cii? V prvom rade to, \u017ee v \u0165a\u017ek\u00fdch chv\u00ed\u013each \u017eivota si nemus\u00edme z\u00fafa\u0165, preto\u017ee m\u00e1me k dispoz\u00edcii v\u0161emoh\u00faceho Boha, ktor\u00fd si dok\u00e1\u017ee \u013eahko poradi\u0165 s na\u0161imi probl\u00e9mami. Tak ako kr\u00e1\u013e Jozafat, aj my sa m\u00f4\u017eeme ihne\u010f ponori\u0165 do modlitby a d\u00f4verova\u0165 dobr\u00e9mu Bohu, \u017ee n\u00e1s zachr\u00e1ni.<\/p>\n
Kr\u00e1\u013e Jozafat je in\u0161pir\u00e1ciou aj pre v\u0161etk\u00fdch vodcov \u013eudu. Ke\u010f m\u00e1 jeho n\u00e1rod probl\u00e9m, postav\u00ed sa na jeho \u010delo a vedie ho k tomu, aby h\u013eadal Boha. Povzbudzuje k pok\u00e1niu a vytrvalej modlitbe s d\u00f4verou a \u2013 ako vid\u00edme v tomto pr\u00edbehu \u2013 m\u00e1 \u00faspech. Neposiela iba in\u00fdch, aby prosili Boha o pomoc, ale on s\u00e1m ide pr\u00edkladom.<\/p>\n
Hne\u010f prv\u00e9 slov\u00e1 Jozafatovej modlitby m\u00f4\u017eu by\u0165 pre n\u00e1s ve\u013ekou in\u0161pir\u00e1ciou. V \u010dase kr\u00edzy je ve\u013emi d\u00f4le\u017eit\u00e9 pripom\u00edna\u0165 si Bo\u017eiu v\u0161emoh\u00facnos\u0165 a jeho moc nad cel\u00fdm svetom. Uis\u0165uje n\u00e1s to, \u017ee aj n\u00e1\u0161 probl\u00e9m spad\u00e1 pod jeho autoritu a m\u00e1 ho pevne vo svojich ruk\u00e1ch.<\/p>\n
Ako vid\u00edme, Bo\u017eia odpove\u010f na seba nenechala dlho \u010daka\u0165. Boh prehovoril prostredn\u00edctvom mu\u017ea menom Jachaziel, ktor\u00fd bol otvoren\u00fd na jeho slovo. Aj n\u00e1m m\u00f4\u017ee Boh odpoveda\u0165 na na\u0161e modlitby \u2013 priamo, v na\u0161ich my\u0161lienkach, alebo sprostredkovane, cez in\u00fdch \u013eud\u00ed. Prv\u00e9 slov\u00e1, ktor\u00fdmi P\u00e1n cel\u00e9ho sveta odpovedal na kr\u00e1\u013eovu \u00fapenliv\u00fa modlitbu pln\u00fa \u00fazkosti, boli: \u201eNebojte sa a nedeste sa!\u201c Vskutku, ak je Boh s nami, nem\u00e1me sa \u010doho b\u00e1\u0165, preto\u017ee on preber\u00e1 kontrolu nad v\u0161etk\u00fdm, \u010do pre\u017e\u00edvame. Aj ke\u010f je na\u0161ich protivn\u00edkov ve\u013ea alebo je n\u00e1\u0161 probl\u00e9m ve\u013emi ve\u013ek\u00fd, Boh je mocn\u00fd a vybojuje n\u00e1\u0161 boj.<\/p>\n
Nie v\u017edy je na\u0161ou \u00falohou bojova\u0165. Niekedy m\u00e1me iba pevne st\u00e1\u0165 v d\u00f4vere a pozorova\u0165, ako Boh vyrie\u0161i n\u00e1\u0161 probl\u00e9m. Na\u0161\u00edm vkladom je vtedy pevn\u00e9 presved\u010denie o dobrote Boha, ktor\u00fd sa uj\u00edma na\u0161ej z\u00e1le\u017eitosti.<\/p>\n
\u010eal\u0161ou ve\u013ekou in\u0161pir\u00e1ciou, ktor\u00fa n\u00e1m pon\u00faka tento biblick\u00fd pr\u00edbeh, je zd\u00f4raznenie d\u00f4le\u017eitosti chv\u00e1ly a oslavy Boha. Na \u010dele vojensk\u00e9ho oddielu st\u00e1li nie ozbrojen\u00ed vojaci, ale t\u00ed, \u010do chv\u00e1lili Boha. Na z\u00e1klade ich chv\u00e1l sa nepriatelia Bo\u017eieho \u013eudu navz\u00e1jom zni\u010dili a Izrael u\u017e nemal vo\u010di komu bojova\u0165. Aj my, ke\u010f uprostred na\u0161ich bojov chv\u00e1lime Boha \u2013 napriek \u00fazkosti, ktor\u00fa v nich pre\u017e\u00edvame \u2013 m\u00f4\u017eeme sledova\u0165, ako sa na\u0161e probl\u00e9my rie\u0161ia pred na\u0161imi o\u010dami, a to aj bez n\u00e1\u0161ho pri\u010dinenia. Boh je osl\u00e1ven\u00fd na\u0161ou d\u00f4verou a pon\u00e1h\u013ea sa, aby n\u00e1s zachr\u00e1nil.<\/p>\n
N\u00e1m potom ost\u00e1va len pr\u00eds\u0165 na miesto boja a zozbiera\u0165 koris\u0165. Probl\u00e9m, ktor\u00fd sme mali pred sebou, sa s pomocou Bo\u017eej milosti premie\u0148a na zdroj n\u00e1\u0161ho obohatenia. Aj to je d\u00f4vod, pre\u010do Boh na n\u00e1s dop\u00fa\u0161\u0165a rozli\u010dn\u00e9 sk\u00fa\u0161ky: nemaj\u00fa n\u00e1s zni\u010di\u0165, ale obohati\u0165 \u2013 ak sa na neho obr\u00e1time ako kr\u00e1\u013e Jozafat a \u00fapenlivo ho budeme prosi\u0165 o pomoc.<\/p>\n
Nech sa Jozafatova modlitba stane pre n\u00e1s ve\u013ek\u00fdm povzbuden\u00edm, najm\u00e4 ke\u010f sa ocitneme v n\u00e1ro\u010dn\u00fdch \u017eivotn\u00fdch situ\u00e1ci\u00e1ch, aby sme si nez\u00fafali, ale upierali svoj zrak k Bohu. Ak zostaneme zameran\u00ed na neho, ak mu budeme d\u00f4verova\u0165 a oslavova\u0165 ho aj uprostred sk\u00fa\u0161ok, ujme sa n\u00e1s a zachr\u00e1ni n\u00e1s, \u010d\u00edm e\u0161te v\u00e4\u010d\u0161mi vzrastie na\u0161a l\u00e1ska k nemu.<\/p>\n
