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 fetaomi atu i luma e tusa lava pe ou te feagai ma faafitauli.

Sa faia e le perofeta o Liae i le Tusi a Mamona se miti na a’oa’oina ai i tatou i le auala e fetaomi atu ai i luma. Sa ia vaaia le toatele o tagata o savavali i se ala agai atu i se laau matagofie e i ai fua mananaia. O le fua o le alofa lea o le Atua. Sa faigata la latou malaga i le ala ona o se “puao pogisa” na natia ai le ala (1 Nifae 8:23). O le mea e lelei ai, sa i ai se “ai uamea” sa mafai ona latou pipiimau i ai e tumau ai i le ala (1 Nifae 8:24). O le ai uamea o le afioga lea a le Atua, lea e aofia ai tusitusiga paia. O le mea lenei na fai mai ai Liae e uiga i la latou malaga:

“Ma sa latou fetaomi atu i luma i lo latou ala, ma piimau pea i le āi uʼamea, seia oo ina latou o mai … ma aai i le fua o le laau” (1 Nifae 8:30).

Na oo atu tagata i le laau ona sa latou pipiimau pea i le pa ma savavali pea i luma, ma faalagolago i le Atua. Sa lei faalavelaveina pe lotovaivai i latou pe a oo mai le pogisa. O loo e galue malosi e a’oa’o le Igilisi. O nisi taimi e te lagonaina le vaivai ma le maua ai se lagona e suesue. O nisi taimi e i ai isi mea e manaomia ai lou gauai atu ma le taimi. Na e maua lava ni auala e suesue ai. Aua le taofia nei. E mafai ona faaauau pea ona e maua se aoaoga a o e fetaomi atu i luma ma le faamoemoe ia Iesu Keriso.

Ponder

• O a au “puao o le pogisa” i le a’oa’oina o le Igilisi?

• E mafai faapefea ona e fetaomi atu i luma e tusa lava pe faigata le su’esu’e?
