Daily Reflection

Manatu Taua

Humility is where spiritual wisdom begins.

O le loto maualalo o le amataga lea o le atamai fa'aleagaga.

Scriptural Context / Va'aiga Fa'aletusi Pa'ia

Peter calls believers to humble themselves under God's mighty hand. The next verse directs them to cast all their anxiety on Him.

Ua vala'auina e Peteru ē fa'atuatua e fa'aulalo i latou i lalo o le aao malosi o le Atua. O le fuaiupu e sosoo ai e fa'atonuina i latou e lafo atu o latou popolega iā te ia.

Practical Application / Fa'aoga i le Olaga

In relationships, humility shows up as listening before speaking. Today, ask one person for their view and listen without rushing to reply. Listening is a form of respect we use far too rarely.

I le va fealoaloa'i, e fa'aalia le loto maualalo i le fa'alogo a'o le'i tautala. I lenei aso, fesili i se tasi po'o le a lona manatu, ona fa'alogo lea e aunoa ma le tali vave. O le fa'alogo o se ituaiga fa'aaloalo e le'i tele ona fa'aaogaina.
