Study the Principle of Learning: Press Forward

Mus Lawm Tom Hauv Ntej

With God’s help, I can press forward even when I face obstacles.

Nrog Vajtswv txoj kev pab, kuv thiaj li muaj cuab kav mus lawm tom hauv ntej thaum kuv raug tej kev cov nyom.

Peb txhua tus raug teeb meem hauv lub neej no. Tej lub sij hawm peb tej teeb meem ua nyuaj rau peb ua raws li peb tej lub hom phiaj. Nifais, ib tug yaj saub thiab thawj coj hauv Phau Ntawv Maumoos, twb raug teeb meem ntau. Nws tau qhia thiab pab nws cov neeg tas nws lub neej. Nws paub tias lawv yuav raug tej yam nyuaj heev thiab nws xav pab lawv paub yuav ua li cas kom kov yeej. Nifais qhia hais tias:

“Nej yuav tsum sib zog mus lawm tom hauv ntej nrog txoj kev ntseeg Khetos uas khov kho, muaj ib txoj kev cia siab uas ci kawg nkaus, thiab muaj ib txoj kev hlub rau Vajtswv thiab rau tib neeg txhua tus” (2 Nifais 31:20).

Koj kuj muaj peev xwm sib zog mus lawm tom hauv ntej. Kev “sib zog mus lawm tom hauv ntej nrog txoj kev ntseeg Khetos uas khov kho” txhais tias koj muaj peev xwm siv zog mus ntxiv, yog koj tso siab rau Yexus Khetos, txawm yog tej yam nyuaj heev los yog. Koj tso siab hais tias Nws yuav foom koob hmoov rau koj txawm yog tej yam nyuaj los sis koj ua yuam kev los yog. Piv txwv hais tias, tej zaum koj paub tias koj hais yuam kev thaum koj sim hais lus Askiv. Tej zaum nyuaj rau koj nco txog tej lus tshiab. Koj sib zog mus lawm tom hauv ntej los tau thiab xyaum hais lus txhua hnub, vim koj tso siab rau Nws hais tias Nws yuav pab koj kawm. Txawm yog koj raug teeb meem dab tsi los, koj sib zog mus lawm tom hauv ntej nrog kev ntseeg los tau.

Ponder

• Koj yuav ua li cas kom “sib zog mus lawm tom hauv ntej” thaum koj kawm lus Askiv?

• Tej yam twg pab koj sib zo ntxiv thaum koj raug tej yam nyuaj?
