Abantu mabakwazi ukuba ubhetyebhetye. Zibuze: ‘Ngaba abantu bandazi ndingumntu obhetyebhetye, oyekelelayo nonyamezelayo? Okanye ngaba bandazi ndingumntu ongqongqo nonenkani? Ngaba ndiyabamamela abanye ndize ndenze izinto ngendlela abafuna ngayo xa ifanelekile?’ Indlela esibhetyebhetye ngayo ibonisa ukuba simlinganisa kangakanani uYehova noYesu. Kufuneka sibe bhetyebhetye xa ubomi bethu butshintsha. Ukutshintsha kwabo kunokusenza sibe neengxaki esingakhange sizilindele. Sinokugula singalindelanga. Nokutshintsha kwemeko yezoqoqosho okanye ukutshintsha kukarhulumente welizwe esihlala kulo kunokubenza nzima ubomi bethu. (INtshu. 9:11) Kusenokuba nzima ke naxa intlangano itshintsha umsebenzi ebesiwenza okanye isicela ukuba siye kukhonza kwenye indawo. Sinokukwazi ukuqhelana nabo xa sisenza ezi zinto zine: (1) masiyamkele into yokuba izinto azisafani nakuqala, (2) masingacingi ngezinto ezigqithileyo, (3) masicinge ngezinto ezintle ezenzeka ebomini bethu, (4) masenzele abanye izinto. w23.07 21-22 ¶7-8

Umprofeti uDaniyeli wayesengumfana xa wabanjwa ngamaBhabhiloni, aya kumvalela kude nekhaya lakhe. Kodwa amagosa aseBhabhiloni amthanda. Kaloku ayebona into ‘eyayibonakala emehlweni,’ yokuba uDaniyeli ‘yinzwana engenasiphene’ esuka kwintsapho ehlonitshwayo. (1 Sam. 16:7) Ngoko amqeqeshela ukusebenza endlini yasebukhosini. (Dan. 1:​3, 4, 6) UYehova wathanda uDaniyeli ngenxa yohlobo lomntu awakhetha ukuba lulo. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba uDaniyeli wayeneminyaka eyi-20 xa uYehova wamfanisa noNowa noYobhi. Ngoko kuye wayelilungisa njengaloo madoda amkhonza engagungqi kangangamashumi eminyaka. (Gen. 5:32; 6:​9, 10; Yobhi 42:​16, 17; Hez. 14:14) UYehova wamthanda ubomi bakhe bonke uDaniyeli ngenxa yokuthembeka kwakhe.​—Dan. 10:​11, 19. w23.08 2 ¶1-2

Xa ufuna ukuthenga indlu, ubuza kufuna ukuya kule ndawo ikuyo uze uyijongisise kakuhle yonke into ekule ndlu iza kuba yeyakho. Sinokwenza into efanayo naxa sifunda iBhayibhile. Ukuba uyakhawuleza xa uyifunda, usenokwazi iinyaniso ezilula zodwa, kufane nokungathi ‘uqala phantsi ukufunda izinto ezingcwele zikaThixo.’ (Heb. 5:12) Ngoko njengokuba kufuneka ungene ngaphakathi endlini ukuze ubone yonke into ekuyo, kufuneka uyifundisise kakuhle kakhulu iBhayibhile ukuze uyiqonde kakuhle into eyithethayo. Eyona ndlela inokukunceda yokufunda iBhayibhile kukujonga ukuba zidibana njani izinto ezikuyo. Sukuphelela nje ekuqondeni ukuba zeziphi iinyaniso ozikholelwayo ezikuyo, zama ukuqonda nokuba kutheni uyikholelwa. Ukuze siyiqonde kakuhle yonke into ethethwa liLizwi LikaThixo, simele sizifunde iinyaniso ezinzulu ezikulo. Umpostile uPawulos wakhuthaza amaKristu ukuba alifundisise iLizwi LikaThixo ukuze ‘abuqonde ngokupheleleyo ububanzi, ubude, ukuphakama nobunzulu’ benyaniso. Loo nto yayiza kuwanceda angagungqi, aze ‘abambelele nkqi’ kukholo lwawo. (Efe. 3:​14-19) Nathi simele senze loo nto. w23.10 18 ¶1-3
