Daily Reflection
Scripture does not light the whole road, only the next step.
E lē fa'amalamalama e le Afioga le ala atoa, ae o le laasaga o lo'o i luma.
The psalmist compares God's word to a lamp for the feet and a light for the path. This image points to the guidance the reader receives from God's word.
Ua fa'atusa e le fai salamo le afioga a le Atua i se sulu mo ona vae ma se malamalama mo lona ala. Ua fa'ailoa mai e lenei ata le ta'ita'iga e maua e le tagata faitau mai le afioga a le Atua.
We often want to see the entire future before we walk. But reading Scripture day by day gives exactly enough light for that day. Choose one verse in the morning and return to it in the evening.
E masani ona tatou mana'o e va'ai i le lumana'i atoa a'o le'i savali. Ae o le faitau i le Tusi Pa'ia i lea aso ma lea aso e maua ai le malamalama e lava mo lena aso. Filifili se fuaiupu e tasi i le taeao, ona toe manatunatu lea i ai i le afiafi.
