Mabuku awo anali odula kwambiri. Koma m’malo mopatsa anthu ena kapena kuwagulitsa, anawawononga. Iwo ankaganizira kwambiri zosangalatsa Yehova osati mtengo wa mabukuwo.

Nanga bwanji nyimbo zimene ndimamvetsera, mavidiyo amene ndimaonera kapena masewera apakompyuta amene ndimakonda? Kodi zosangalatsa zimene ndimakonda zimakhudzana ndi zamizimu?

Koma tisamaganize kuti mizimu yoipa ndi imene yachititsa. Baibulo limanena kuti “nthawi yatsoka ndi zinthu zosayembekezereka zimagwera” aliyense. (Mlal. 9:11) Yehova wasonyeza kale kuti ndi wamphamvu kuposa ziwanda. Mwachitsanzo, Mulungu sanalole Satana kuti aphe Yobu. (Yobu 2:6) Munthawi ya Mose, Yehova anasonyeza kuti ndi wamphamvu kuposa amatsenga a ku Iguputo.
