Study the Principle of Learning: Counsel with the Lord

Shauriana na Bwana

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

Ninaweza kuboresha kujifunza kwangu kwa kushauriana na Mungu kila siku kuhusu juhudi zangu.

Kujiunza ni mchakato ambao unatokea baada ya muda kupita. Mungu anataka kukusaidia ujifunze na ukue. Yeye anataka kukusaidia ujifunze jinsi ya kuchukua hatua ndogo ndogo ili kutimiza mambo makubwa. Kitabu cha Mormoni husimulia juu ya mtu mwenye nguvu ya imani aliyeitwa Alma. Yeye alikuwa nabii wa Mungu na kiongozi wa nchi yake. Alma alifundisha:

“Kupitia vitu vilivyo vidogo na rahisi vitu vikubwa hutendeka. … Shauriana na Bwana kwenye matendo yako yote, na atakuongoza kwa yale mema” (Alma 37:6, 37).

Bwana hufanya kazi kupitia vitu vidogo na rahisi. Vitendo vidogo vinaweza kuwa na matokeo makubwa baada ya muda Sisi tunasali kwa Baba yetu wa Mbinguni katika jina la Mwanawe, Yesu Kristo. Kupitia sala na kujifunza maandiko, unaweza kushauriana na Bwana. Yeye anaweza kukusaidia kuchagua njia ndogo ndogo na rahisi ili kuwa bora. Je, unahitaji kuboresha ujuzi wako wa kusikiliza? Unaposhauriana na Mungu katika sala, unaweza kuamua kutumia dakika 10 katika siku kufanya mazoezi ya Kiingereza na rafiki. Je, unasumbuka kukumbuka maneno mapya? Unaposhauriana na Mungu, unaweza kuamua kupitia tena maneno unapokuwa unasafiri katika basi. Juhudi zako thabiti zitaleta “mambo makubwa” unapojifunza Kiingereza.

Ponder

• Je, utamaduni wako una msemo sawa na huu “vitu vidogo na rahisi”?

• Ni kwa jinsi gani unaweza kushauriana na Mungu kuhusu juhudi zako?

• Je, ni vitu gani vidogo vidogo unavyoweza kufanya kila siku ili kujifunza Kiingereza?
