Umoya uhlolisisa zonke izinto, ngitsho lezinto ezijulileyo zikaNkulunkulu.—1 Khor. 2:10.
Nxa usebandleni elilabamemezeli abanengi engxenye kuba kalutshwana ukuthi bakuqambe futhi ungacina usubona kungcono ukufika uzihlalele nje. Kodwa ungakhalali. Lungiselela izimpendulo ezinengi. Nxa bengakukhutha umhlangano uqalisa uyabe ukwazi ukuthi ngeke uphele bengakuqambanga. Nxa ulungiselela isifundo se-Nqabayokulinda zama ukubona ukuthi indima ngayinye ingenelana njani lesihloko. Ungenza njalo uzenelisa ukuphendula kuloba yiphi indima. Mhlawumbe okunye ongakwenza yikuphakamisa endimeni leziyana ezingathi zijiyile. Ngenxa yani? Ngoba balutshwana abantu abajayele ukuphakamisa endimeni lezo. Ake sithi imihlangano isize yalandelana ulokhe ungaqanjwa. Ungenzani? Tshela oqhubayo umhlangano ungakaqalisi ukuthi ufuna ukuphendula ngaphi kwakhona. w23.04 21-22 ¶9-10

UJosefa . . . [wenza] lokho ingilosi kaJehova eyayimtshele khona, wathatha umkakhe wahamba laye emzini wakhe.—Mat. 1:24.
UJosefa wayengaphuzi ukwenza ayekutshelwa nguJehova futhi lokhu kwenza ukuthi ayikhokhele kuhle imuli yakhe. Kwaba lezikhathi ezintathu lapho uNkulunkulu amtshela okwakumele akwenze. Wayekwenza masinyane ayekutsheliwe lanxa kwezinye izikhathi kwakungalula. (Mat. 1:20; 2:13-15, 19-21) UJosefa wamvikela uMariya, wamsekela futhi wamnakekela ngenxa yokuthi wayelalela lokho okwakutshiwo nguNkulunkulu. Kumele ukuthi okwenziwa nguJosefa kwenza ukuthi uMariya amthande futhi amhloniphe kakhulu. Madoda, lingalingisela uJosefa ngokwenza lokho okutshiwo liBhayibhili mayelana lokuthi kumele liyiphathe njani imuli yenu. Nxa lingalandela okutshiwo liBhayibhili lanxa kwezinye izikhathi kusitsho ukuthi litshintshe indlela elenza ngayo izinto, liyabe litshengisa ukuthi liyabathanda omkenu futhi lokho kuzakwenza ukuthi uthando lwenu luvuthe. Udadewethu ohlala eVanuatu oseleminyaka edlula 20 etshadile uthi: “Okwenza ngimhloniphe kakhulu umkami yikuthi uyadinga ukuthi uJehova uthini, abesesenza lokho akutshoyo. Lokho kwenza ngihlaliseke futhi ngizithembe izinqumo azenzayo.” w23.05 21 ¶5

Kuzakuba lomgwaqo omkhulu, umgwaqo lo uzabizwa ngokuthi yiNdlela yobuNgcwele.—Isaya. 35:8
AmaJuda ayebuyela evela eBhabhiloni kwakumele abe ‘yisizwe esingcwele’ kuNkulunkulu. (Dute. 7:6) Lanxa kunjalo kukhona okwakumele kulungisiswe ngabantu laba ukuze bathokozise uJehova. AmaJuda amanengi ayezalelwe eBhabhiloni futhi kukhanya ayesecabanga njengabantu baseBhabhiloni futhi esenza njengabo. Ngemva kweminyaka amaJuda ebuyele ko-Israyeli, uMbusi uNehemiya wasala engelankani esizwa ukuthi abantwana ababezalelwe ko-Israyeli babengalwazi ulimi lwamaJuda. (Dute. 6:6, 7; Neh. 13:23, 24) Manje abantwana laba babezafunda njani ukuthanda uJehova futhi bamkhonze bona bengasizwisisi isiHebheru? Phela amabhuku amanengi eBhayibhili ayebhalwe ngesiHebheru. (Ezra. 10:3, 44) Kuyakhanya-ke ukuthi zinengi izinto okwakumele amaJuda azilungisise, kodwa kwakuzabe kulula ukuthi azilungisise eseko-Israyeli, lapho ukukhonza kweqiniso okwakubuyiselwa khona kancane kancane.—Neh. 8:8, 9. w23.05 15 ¶6-7
