5. ?From wanem i impoten we yu gat plan blong mekem moa long wok blong Jehova?

⁵ ?From wanem i impoten we yu gat plan blong mekem moa long wok blong Jehova? Yu wantem talem tangkiu long Jehova from lav we hem i soemaot, mo from ol samting we hem i mekem long yu. Man we i raetem Sam 92 i talem se: ‘Hae God. I gud tumas blong talem tangkiu long yu. Ol bigfala wok blong yu oli stap mekem mi mi glad tumas. Oltaem mi harem gud from ol samting ya we yu yu mekem.’ (Ol Sam 92:1, 4) Traem tingbaot ol samting ya we Jehova i givim long yu: laef, bilif, Baebol, kongregesen, hop blong laef olwe long Paradaes. Taem yu gat plan blong mekem moa long wok blong Jehova, yu soemaot long hem se yu glad long ol samting we hem i givim, nao yu kam klosap moa long hem.

6. (1) ?Olsem wanem yu kam klosap moa long Jehova taem yu gat plan long wok blong hem? (2) ?Wanem sam plan we yu save mekem taem yu yangfala?

⁶ Namba tu risen blong gat plan long wok blong God, hemia se taem yu wok had blong mekem plan ya i kamtru, yu kam klosap moa long Jehova. Aposol Pol i promes se: “God i stap mekem i stret nomo. Mo hem i no save fogetem ol wok ya we yufala i mekem. Hem bambae i stap tingbaot we yufala i lavem nem blong hem.” (Hibrus 6:10) Yu save mekem plan taem yu smol nomo, olsem Kristina we i gat 10 yia taem i mekem plan blong ridim laef stori blong ol Witnes. Tobi i gat 12 yia taem i mekem plan blong ridim Baebol fulwan, bifo we hem i baptaes. Maksim i gat 11 yia, mo sista blong hem Nomi i gat 10 yia, taem tufala i baptaes. Nao tufala tugeta i mekem plan blong go wok long Betel.

7, 8. (1) Sipos yu gat wan plan, ?from wanem i isi moa blong mekem desisen? (2) ?From wanem Damaris i no go long yunivesiti?

⁷ ?Wanem namba tri risen blong gat plan long wok blong God, taem yu yangfala nomo? Yu gat plante desisen blong mekem, olsem, hamas yia bambae yu skul, wanem wok bambae yu mekem, mo plante narafala samting. Ol desisen ya oli olsem ol krosrod long trip blong yu. Sipos yu save gud se yu stap go wea, i isi blong jusum rod we yu mas folem. Long sem fasin, sipos yu gat klia tingting long plan blong yu, bambae i isi moa blong mekem ol gudfala desisen. Ol Proveb  21:5 i talem se: “Man we i mekem gudfala plan mo i stap wok strong long hem, hem i save kasem plante samting.” Sipos yu kwik blong mekem gudfala plan, bambae yu kwik blong kasem gudfala frut. Hemia samting we i hapen long wan sista we nem blong hem Damaris. Taem hem i yangfala, hem i mas mekem wan impoten desisen.

⁸ Damaris i kasem ol gudfala mak long hae skul, mekem se hem i save go long yunivesiti blong kam loea, we hem i no nid blong pem. Be hem i jusum wan narafala wok we i no impoten tumas. ?From wanem?

Sipos mi go long yunivesiti mo kam wan loea, mi save winim bigfala mane, be bambae i had blong faenem haftaem wok.” Damaris i mekem wok blong paenia 20 yia finis. ?Olsem wanem? ?Hem i harem se plan mo desisen we hem i mekem taem hem i yangfala, i stret? Yes. Long ples blong wok, hem i stap mitim ol loea, be plante long olgeta oli no glad nating. Damaris i luksave se hem i kasem bigfala glad i bitim olgeta, from we hem i jusum wok blong paenia.

9. ?From wanem yumi glad long ol yangfala blong yumi?

⁹ Yumi talem bigfala tangkiu long plante taosen yangfala long olgeta ples long wol, we oli stap gohed gud. Impoten samting long laef blong olgeta, hemia blong frengud wetem Jehova, mo blong folem ol plan we oli gat blong mekem moa long wok blong hem. Ol yangfala ya oli harem gud tumas, mo long semtaem, oli stap lanem blong letem Jehova i lidim olgeta long evri samting, olsem skul, wok, mo famle. Solomon i talem se: “Yu mas trastem Hae God long olgeta tingting blong yu.” Hem i gohed se: “Long olgeta samting we yu stap mekem, yu mas tingbaot hem oltaem, mo . . . hem bambae i soemaot stret rod long yu, blong yu yu folem.” (Ol Proveb 3:5, 6) !Yangfala, Jehova i lavem yu tumas! Yu yu sas tumas long tingting blong hem, mo bambae hem i protektem, lidim, mo blesem yu.

10. (1) ?From wanem wok blong prij i mas impoten tumas long yumi? (2) ?Olsem wanem blong kamgud moa blong eksplenem bilif blong yu?

¹⁰ Sipos yu tingbaot oltaem blong mekem Jehova i glad, bambae yu wantem tokbaot hem. Jisas Kraes i talem se yumi “mas talemaot gud nius long olgeta neson bifo we en i kam.” (Mak 13:10) Taswe wok blong prij i mas impoten moa long yumi i bitim ol narafala wok. ?Olsem wanem? ?Yu save mekem plan blong prij moa? ?Yu save paenia? ?Be olsem wanem sipos yu no laekem tumas blong prij? ?Mo olsem wanem blong kamgud moa blong eksplenem bilif blong yu? I gat tu samting we oli save givhan: Rere gud, mo no lego wok ya blong tokbaot Jehova. Sipos yu mekem olsem, maet bambae yu sapraes se yu laekem tumas blong prij.

11, 12. (1) ?Yu save mekem wanem blong rere gud blong tokbaot Jehova? (2) ?Olsem wanem wan yangfala brata i tekem janis blong tokbaot Jehova long skul?

 ¹¹ Fastaem, yu save rerem ansa blong sam kwestin we maet ol yangfala long skul oli askem, olsem: “?From wanem yu bilif long God?” I gat ol haf long jw.org we oli save givhan long yu.

13. Sipos yu fesem hadtaem, ?from wanem yu no mas lego plan blong yu?

¹³ Sipos yu fesem hadtaem, yu no letem tingting i foldaon, be yu gohed nomo blong folem plan blong yu. (2 Timoti 4:2) Hemia nao samting we Katarina i  mekem. Taem hem i gat 17 yia, hem i mekem plan se bambae hem i prij long evriwan we hem i wok wetem olgeta. Wan long olgeta i tok nogud long hem plante taem. Be Katarina i no lego plan blong hem.

Be Katarina i no save samting ya from we hem i muv i go long narafala ples. Totin yia biaen, taem Katarina mo famle blong hem i stap long wan miting, hem i sek se Hans nao i givim pablik tok. Hem i glad tumas se hem i gohed nomo blong folem plan blong hem blong prij long evriwan we hem i wok wetem olgeta.

14, 15. (1) ?Yu mas tingbaot wanem taem ol narafala oli pulum yu blong folem olgeta? (2) ?Yu save mekem wanem blong stanap strong taem oli traem fosem yu?

¹⁴ Fashaf blong stadi ya i pulum yu blong yu tingbaot oltaem blong mekem Jehova i glad, mo blong yu gat plan blong mekem moa long wok blong hem. Be plante yangfala olsem yu oli wantem gat gud taem nomo. Mo bambae oli traem pulum yu tu blong folem olgeta.

Olsem yumi tokbaot long stat blong stadi, sipos yu stap wet long wan transpot blong go samples, ?bambae yu jam long eni transpot nomo from we ol man insaed oli stap gat gudtaem? !Nogat!

¹⁵ Taswe, ?yu save mekem wanem taem ol narafala oli traem fosem yu blong folem olgeta? Sipos i had blong talem ‘no,’ i moagud yu stap longwe long olgeta. (Ol Proveb 22:3) Tingbaot bigfala trabol we yu save kasem sipos yu joen wetem olgeta blong mekem ol nogud samting. (Galesia 6:7) Mo tu, i gud yu mekem tingting blong yu i stap daon mo askem advaes. Lesin long ol tok blong papa mo mama blong yu, mo ol brata mo sista long kongregesen we oli gat plante waes mo save.—Ridim 1 Pita 5:5, 6.

16. ?Olsem wanem stori blong Kristof i soemaot se i impoten blong gat tingting daon?

¹⁶ Kristof i mekem tingting blong hem i stap daon mo i lesin long advaes. Smoltaem afta we hem i baptaes, hem i stat blong go long wan ples blong mekem eksasaes. Long ples ya, sam yangfala oli askem long hem blong i joen long wan klab blong spot. Hem i storian wetem wan elda, mo elda i mekem hem i tingbaot sam denja, olsem fasin ya blong traem winim narafala.

Ale, hem i storian bakegen wetem ol elda, mo oli soemaot ol gudfala advaes blong Baebol long hem.

17, 18. (1) ?Jehova i wantem se ol yangfala oli harem olsem wanem? (2) ?Olsem wanem blong blokem ol jus we oli save mekem yu yu harem nogud? Talem wan stori.

¹⁷ Baebol i talem se: “Ol yangfala, naoia we yufala i yangfala yet, i gud yufala i stap mekem ol fasin we yufala i save harem gud long hem.” (Prija 11:9) Jehova i wantem se yu harem gud long yangtaem  blong yu. Stadi ya i soemaot se wan rod blong harem gud, i blong folem ol plan we yu gat blong mekem moa long wok blong Jehova, mo blong folem advaes blong Jehova long ol plan mo desisen. Sipos yu kwik blong mekem samting ya, bambae yu haremsave kwiktaem se Jehova i stap lidim, protektem, mo blesem yu. Yu mas tingbaot ol gudfala advaes we hem i givim long Baebol, mo yu folem ol tok ya se: ‘God i mekem yu, mo naoia we yu yangfala yet, oltaem yu mas tingbaot hem.’—Prija 12:1.

¹⁸ Ol yangfala oli kam bigwan hareap. Sore tumas, plante long olgeta oli harem nogud, from we oli no gat ol gudfala plan taem oli yangfala. Be sipos yu stap tingting oltaem long ol plan blong yu blong mekem moa long wok blong Jehova, taem yu kam bigwan, bambae yu glad long ol jus blong yu. Wan woman we nem blong hem Mijana, i harem gud olsem. Taem hem i yangfala, hem i laekem plei spot. Oli singaot hem blong i go plei long Winter Olimpik Gem. Be Mijana i jus blong mekem wok blong Jehova fultaem. Bitim 30 yia hem i stap gohed long wok blong Jehova fultaem, wetem man blong hem.
