Study the Principle of Learning: Counsel with the Lord

Sab Laj Nrog tus Tswv

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

Kuv yuav kawm tau zoo dua ntxiv thaum kuv nrog Vajtswv sab laj txog kuv tej hauj lwm.

Kev kawm yog ib tug txheej txheem uas yuav tsum siv sij hawm ua. Vajtswv xav kom pab koj kawm thiab ua zoo zuj zus. Nws xav pab koj kawm ua li cas kom ua tej yam me thiaj li yuav ua tej yam tseem ceeb thaum kawg. Phau Ntawv Maumoos qhia txog ib tug txiv neej uas muaj kev ntseeg heev hu ua Amas. Nws yog Vajtswv ib tug yaj saub thiab tus thawj coj ntawm nws lub teb chaws. Amas qhia hais tias:

“Los ntawm tej yam me me thiab yooj yim thiaj muaj tej yam tseem ceeb los. “Sab laj nrog tus Tswv txog txhua yam uas koj ua, thiab nws yuav coj koj mus rau qhov zoo” (Amas 37:6, 37).

Vajtswv ua hauj lwm los ntawm tej yam me me thiab yooj yim. Thaum sij hawm dhau mus ces tej yam me los ua tau tej yam tseem ceeb. Peb thov Leej Txiv Saum Ntuj Ceeb Tsheej los ntawm Nws Leej Tub lub npe, Yexus Khetos. Los ntawm kev thov Vajtswv thiab kev kawm vaj lug kub, koj yuav sab laj nrog tus Tswv. Nws yuav pab koj xaiv tej yam me thiab yooj yim kom koj ua tau zoo. Koj puas xav txawj mloog zoo dua? Thaum koj thov Vajtswv, tej zaum koj yuav txiav txim siab siv 10 feeb txhua hnub hais lus Askiv nrog ib tug phooj ywg. Puas nyuaj rau koj nco ntsoov tej lus tshiab? Thaum koj sab laj nrog Vajtswv, tej zaum koj yuav xav tias koj yuav kawm tej lus tshiab thaum koj caij npav. Qhov uas koj siv zog tsis tu ncua yuav ua rau koj ua tau “tej yam tseem ceeb” thaum koj kawm lus Askiv.

Ponder

• Koj kab lig kev cai puas muaj tej lus uas hais txog “tej yam me thiab yooj yim”?

• Koj yuav ua li cas kom sab laj nrog Vajtswv txog tej yam koj ua?

• Tej yam me uas koj ua tau txhua hnub kom kawm lus Askiv yog dab tsi?
