Study the Principle of Learning: Press Forward

Fetaomi Atu i Luma

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

Faatasi ai ma le fesoasoani a le Atua, e mafai ai ona ou uunai atu i luma e tusa lava pe ou te feagai ma faafitauli.

Ua tatou faitau e uiga i se tamaitai e igoa ia Ruta i tusitusiga paia o lē sa tele ni luitau na i ai. Na maliu lona toalua, ma e leai sana fanau. Sa fuafua lona tina faaletulafono, o Naomi, e toe foi atu i lona nuu ma fai atu ia Ruta e nofo o ia, ae sa tali atu Ruta,

“O le mea e te alu i ai, ou te alu ai foi; o le mea e te nofo ai, ou te nofo ai; e fai lou nuu mo’u nuu; e fai lou Atua, mo’u Atua. … Na vaai [Naomi] ua mausali le mafaufau o [Ruta] e alu faatasi ma ia” (Ruta 1:16, 18).

Sa naunau ma faamaoni Ruta. Na filifili Ruta e nonofo ma Naomi ma nofo i se isi nofoaga ese, e mamao ese mai lona aiga ma le aganuu. Sa ia filifili e faamaoni i lana lotu fou. Sa matuā faigata mea uma mo Ruta ma Naomi. Sa matuai matitiva lava i laua ma sa tauivi ina ia lava meaai. Sa faaauau pea ona agai i luma Ruta ma faatuatuaina o le Atua, ma sa ia tausia Naomi. Na silafia e le Atua lana tauiviga ma faamanuiaina ana taumafaiga. Ina ua mavae sina taimi, na toe faaipoipo Ruta, maua se fanau, ma lava meaai mo lona aiga. E mafai ona e faatuatuaina le Atua e faapei ona sa faia e Ruta. E mafai ona e fetaomi atu i luma ma le faatuatua e tusa lava pe faigata mea uma.

Ponder

• E mafai faapefea ona e fesootai i aafiaga o Ruta?

• E mafai faapefea ona e fetaomi atu i luma ma le faamoemoe i le Atua?

• E faapefea ona faatatau lenei mea i lou aafiaga i le aoaoina o le Igilisi?
