Ungaliqinisa njani ithemba lakho? Ngokwesibonelo, nange unethemba lokuphila ngokungapheliko ephasini, funda ngendlela iBhayibheli elihlathulula ngayo iPharadesi bewucabangisise ngalo. (Isa. 25:8; 32:16-18) Cabangisisa ngokuthi ukuphila kuzokuba njani ephasini elitjha. Zibone ulapho. Nange sizipha isikhathi qobe sokucabanga ngephasi elitjha, imirarwethu “izokuba ngeyesikhatjhana begodu ibe mncani.” (2 Kor. 4:17) Ngethemba uJehova akunikele lona, uzokusiza ube namandla. Sele akunikele okutlhogako bona ufumane amandla avela kuye. Nje-ke nawutlhoga isizo lokwenza isabelo, lokukghodlhelela isilingo namkha lokuhlala uthabile, tjhidela kuJehova ngomthandazo ubawe isinqophiso sakhe ngesifundo somuntu mathupha. Yamukela isikhuthazo esivela kubafowenu nabodadwenu abamaKrestu. Qobe ziphe isikhathi sokucabanga ngethemba lakho lengomuso. Nawenza njalo, “uzokuqiniswa ngawo woke amandla ngokuvumelana namandla [kaZimu] aphazimulako bona ukghodlhelele ngokupheleleko ngokubekezela nangethabo.”​—Kol. 1:11. w23.10 17 ¶19-20

Sinamabanga amanengi wokuthokoza uJehova ngomthandazo. Singamthokoza ngananyana yini into ehle esinayo ngombana zoke izipho ezihle zivela kuye. (Jak. 1:17) Ngokwesibonelo, singamthokoza ngephasi lethu elihle nangezinto ezihle azibumbileko. Singamthokoza ngokuphila kwethu, ngomndenethu, abangani nethemba lethu. Sifuna nokuthokoza uJehova ngokusivumela ukuthi sibe nobungani obuligugu naye. Kungatlhogeka ukuthi senze umzamo okhethekileko nasizakucabanga ngamabanga asenza sithokoze uJehova. Siphila ephasini elingathokoziko. Esikhathini esinengi abantu badzimelele ezintweni abazifunako kunezinto abangazenza ukutjengisa ukuthi bayathokoza ngezinto abanazo. Nange sithoma ukulingisa umukghwa loyo umthandazwethu uzokuba lirhelo lezinto esizibawako kwaphela. Bona sibalekele umukghwa loyo kufuze siragele phambili sithokoze uJehova ngazo zoke izinto asenzela zona.​—Luk. 6:45. w23.05 4 ¶8-9

NjengoBabethu onethando, uJehova akafuni ukusibona sizwa ubuhlungu. (Isa. 63:9) Nanyana kunjalo, akayikhandeli yoke imiraro esiqalana nayo, engafaniswa nemilambo namkha amalangabi womlilo. (Isa. 43:2) Nanyana kunjalo, usithembisa ukuthi uzosisiza “sikhambe hlangana” nazo. Nanyana ngiziphi iinlingo esiqalana nazo nje, uzokuqinisekisa ukuthi azisenzi sibhalelwe kumlotjha. Godu uJehova usinikela umoyakhe ocwengileko onamandla osisiza sikghodlhelele. (Luk. 11:13; Flp. 4:13) Ngebanga lalokho, singaqiniseka ukuthi sizokuhlala sinakho koke esikutlhogako bona sikghodlhelele begodu sihlale sithembekile kuye. UJehova ulindele bona simthembe. (Heb. 11:6) Ngezinye iinkhathi iintjhijilo zethu zingabonakala zibudisi khulu. Kungenzeka sithome ukuzaza ukuthi uJehova uzosisiza. Kodwana iBhayibheli lisiqinisekisa ukuthi ngamandla kaZimu “singakhwela iboda.” (Rhu. 18:29) Kunokobana sivumele ukuzaza okunjalo kukhule, kufuze sithandaze ngokukholwa, sibe nethemba lokuthi uJehova uzoyiphendula imithandazwethu.​—Jak. 1:6, 7. w23.11 22 ¶8-9
