Study the Principle of Learning: Counsel with the Lord

Filifili ma le Alii

I improve my learning by counseling with God daily about my efforts.

Ou te faaleleia lo’u aoaoina e ala i le filifili ma le Atua i aso taitasi e uiga i a’u taumafaiga.

O le aoaoina o se faagasologa e tupu i le aluga o taimi. E finagalo leAtua e fesoasoani ia te oe e aoao ma tuputupu ae. E finagalo o Ia e fesoasoani ia te oe e aoao pe faapefea ona faia ni laasaga laiti e ausia ai mea tetele. O loo faamatala mai i le Tusi a Mamona se tagata malosi o le faatuatua e igoa ia Alema. O ia o se perofeta a le Atua ma o se taitai o lona atunuu. Na aoao mai Alema:

“O mea laiti ma faatauvaa e faataunuu ai mea sili. … Filifili faatasi ma le Alii i au mea uma e fai, ma o le a ia taitai oe mo le lelei” (Alema 37:6, 37).

E galue le Atua i mea laiti ma faigofie. O gaoioiga laiti e mafai ona i ai ni taunuuga tetele i le aluga o taimi. Tatou te tatalo atu i le Tama Faalelagi i le suafa o Lona Alo o, Iesu Keriso. E ala i le tatalo ma le suesueina o tusitusiga paia, e mafai ai ona e filifili ma le Alii. E mafai ona Ia fesoasoani ia te oe e filifili ni auala laiti ma faigofie e faaleleia atili ai. Pe e te manaomia ona faaleleia lou malamalama i le faalogo? A o e filifili ma le Atua i le tatalo, atonu e te filifili e faaalu le 10 minute i le aso e faataitai ai le Igilisi ma se uo. Pe e te tauivi e manatua ni upu fou? A o e filifili ma le Atua, atonu e te filifili e toe faamanatu upu a o e tietie i le pasi. O au taumafaiga faifai pea o le a tutupu ai “mea tetele” a o e aoaoina le Igilisi.

Ponder

• Pe o i ai se faaupuga a lau aganuu e talitutusa ma le “mea laiti ma faigofie”?

• E mafai faapefea ona e filifili ma le Atua e uiga i au taumafaiga?

• O a ni mea laiti e mafai ona e faia i aso taitasi e aoao ai le Igilisi?

“E mafai ona tatou tatalo i lo tatou Tama Faalelagi ma maua mai le taiala ma le taitaiga … ma ia mafai ai ona faataunuu mea e le mafai ona tatou faia e i tatou lava. …

“Tatalo … ona faalogologo lea! Tusi i lalo manatu e oo mai i lou mafaufau. Tusi faamaumau ou lagona ma mulimuli i faatinoga ua uunaia oe e fai” (Russell M. Nelson, “Faaaliga mo le Ekalesia, Faaaliga mo o Tatou Olaga,” Liahona, Me 2018, 94–95).
