Daily Reflection

Manatu Taua

This strength is not summoned from within; it is supplied.

E lē o se malosi mai ia te oe lava, ae o le malosi e foa'i mai.

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

Paul wrote to the Philippians while imprisoned. The paragraph around this verse is about learning contentment in abundance and in scarcity. It is not a promise of winning everything; it is the assurance of being able to endure anything.

Na tusia e Paulo le tusi i Filipi a'o i totonu o le falepuipui. O le mataupu o lo'o si'omia lenei fuaiupu e uiga i le a'oa'oina ona lotomalie i le tele ma le itiiti. E lē o se fuaiupu e mautinoa ai le manumalo i mea uma, ae o le mautinoa e mafai ona onosa'i i tulaga uma.

Practical Application / Fa'aoga i le Olaga

Some days there is not enough strength for work, family, and church all at once. Do not try to manufacture more from yourself; ask God to supply it. Name the fear today, then take the first brave step anyway.

O nisi aso e le'i lava le malosi mo le galuega, mo le aiga, ma le lotu. Aua le fa'aopoopo le malosi ia te oe lava, ae talosaga mo le malosi mai i le Atua. Ta'u atu i lenei aso le mea e te fefe ai, ona fai lea o le laasaga muamua lava ma le lototele.
