Kenako analemba kuti: “Tikugonjetsa zinthu zonsezi kudzera mwa iye amene anatikonda.” (Aroma 8:35-37) Zimenezi zikutanthauza kuti Yehova angatithandize kuti zinthu zizitiyendera bwino ngakhale pa nthawi imene tikukumana ndi mayesero.

Mwachitsanzo, tikhoza kumanyozedwa, kutsutsidwa ngakhalenso kuzunzidwa chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chathu.

Ndipotu ngakhale kuti iye anali ndi mwayi woyang’anira nyumba yonse ya Potifara, anali kapolo wa munthu yemwe sankalambira Yehova. Yehova sanachititse kuti Potifara amasule Yosefe pa ukapolo. Ndipo zinthu zinali zitatsala pang’ono kuipa kwambiri pa moyo wa Yosefe.

(Mat. 10:29-31; 1 Pet. 5:6, 7) Ndipotu iye amalonjeza kuti: “Sindidzakusiyani kapena kukutayani ngakhale pang’ono.” (Aheb. 13:5) Yehova angakuthandizeni kupirira ngakhale pamene zikuoneka kuti mwasowa mtengo wogwira. Tiyeni tione mmene anathandizira Yosefe.

9. Kodi n’chiyani chimene chikusonyeza kuti Yehova anali ndi Yosefe pamene anali m’ndende? (Genesis 39:21-23)

Patapita nthawi mkulu wandende anayamba kudalira komanso kulemekeza Yosefe ngati mmene Potifara anachitira. Posakhalitsa iye anamuika kuti akhale woyang’anira akaidi ena. Ndipotu Baibulo limati “mkulu wandendeyo sanali kuyang’aniranso chilichonse chimene chinali m’manja [mwa Yosefe].” Tsopano Yosefe anayamba kukhala wotanganidwa ndi ntchito yake.

Kodi ankafunitsitsa chiyani? Kodi iye ankafuna kuti mkulu wandendeyo azimukonda? N’zoonekeratu kuti Yosefe ankafuna mlandu wakewu utatha n’kutulutsidwa m’ndende. Ndipotu iye anauza kapolo wina yemwe anali atatsala pang’ono kutulutsidwa kuti akapemphe Farao kuti amutulutse m’ndende yoopsayo. (Gen. 40:14) Koma munthuyo sanauze Farao nthawi yomweyo ndipo Yosefe anakhalabe m’ndendemo kwa zaka zina ziwiri.

Atamva kuti Yosefe amatha kumasulira maloto, iye anamuitanitsa. Mothandizidwa ndi Yehova, Yosefe anamasulira malotowo ndipo Farao anakhutira ndi malangizo othandiza omwe iye anamupatsa. Poona kuti Yehova anali ndi mnyamatayu, Farao anamuika kukhala woyang’anira chakudya m’dziko lonse la Iguputo.

Apa Yosefe anali ndi mwayi wopulumutsa banja lakwawo lomwe linali mzere wodzabadwira Mesiya.

(Gen. 45:5) N’zodziwikiratu kuti Yehova ndi amene ankachititsa kuti zonse zimene Yosefe ankachita zizimuyendera bwino. Pamapeto pake Yehova anagwiritsa ntchito chiwembu chimene abale ake a Yosefe anamuchitira kukhala ngati njira yokwaniritsira chifuniro chake.

Kodi ndi amene amachititsa zilizonse zomwe zimachitika pa moyo wathu, moti zoipa zonse zimatichitikira pachifukwa chabwino? Ayi, Baibulo silifotokoza zimenezo. (Mlal. 8:9; 9:11) Komabe timadziwa kuti tikamakumana ndi mayesero,  Yehova amadziwa ndipo amamvetsera kufuula kwathu kopempha thandizo.

¹⁴ Njira imodzi imene Yehova amatithandizira ndi kutitonthoza komanso kutilimbikitsa, ndipo nthawi zambiri amachita zimenezo pa nthawi yoyenera. (2 Akor. 1:3, 4) Izi ndi zimene zinachitikira m’bale wina wa ku Turkmenistan dzina lake Eziz, yemwe anagamulidwa kuti akhale m’ndende kwa zaka ziwiri chifukwa cha chikhulupiriro chake. Iye anati: “M’mawa wa tsiku la mlandu wanga, m’bale wina anandisonyeza lemba la Yesaya 30:15, lomwe limati: ‘Mudzakhala amphamvu mukakhala osatekeseka ndi achikhulupiriro.’ Vesili linkandithandiza kuti mtima wanga uzikhala m’malo ndiponso ndizidalira Yehova pa chilichonse. Kuliganizira kunandithandiza pa nthawi yonse yomwe ndinali m’ndende.” Kodi mukukumbukira nthawi yomwe Yehova anakuthandizani pokutonthozani komanso kukulimbikitsani pamene munkafunikira kwambiri zimenezi?

¹⁶ Ngakhale kuti mayeserowo anali opweteka kwambiri, Tori pambuyo pake anaganizira mmene Yehova anamuthandizira kupirira. Iye anati: “Ndikaganizira zimene zinkachitika, ndimaona kuti Yehova ankandithandiza mwachikondi pa nthawi yonse imene mwana wanga ankadwala. Mwachitsanzo, ngakhale pamene Mason wadwala kwambiri moti sakutha kuzindikira omwe abwera kudzamuona, abale ndi alongo ankayenda pagalimoto kwa maola awiri kubwera kuchipatala komwe tinali. Nthawi zonse pankakhala munthu yemwe wabwera mofunitsitsa kuti adzatithandize. Komanso tinkapatsidwa zinthu zomwe tinkafunikira. Ngakhale pa nthawi yovuta kwambiri sitinasowepo kanthu.” Yehova anapatsa Tori ndi Mason zomwe ankafunikira kuti athe kupirira. Onani bokosi lakuti, “Yehova Ankatipatsa Zenizeni Zomwe Tinkafunikira.”

17-18. N’chiyani chingatithandize kuti tizizindikira komanso kuyamikira mmene Yehova amatithandizira pa nthawi ya mayesero? (Salimo 40:5)
