Daily Reflection

Manatu Taua

God's peace does not depend on your circumstances.

O le filemu a le Atua e lē fa'alagolago i tulaga o le olaga.

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

Jesus promises His disciples the peace He gives. It is not like the peace the world gives; therefore, He tells them not to let their hearts be troubled or afraid.

Na folafola atu e Iesu i ona so'o le filemu e tu'uina atu e ia. E lē pei o le filemu e avatu e le lalolagi; o le mea lea na ia fetalai ai ia aua ne'i atuatuvale pe matata'u o latou loto.

Practical Application / Fa'aoga i le Olaga

The world's peace is built on conditions: money, health, and time. When those shift, that peace evaporates. The peace of Christ rests on His own permanence. Today, sit for two minutes in quiet before opening your phone. Listen, pray, and then carry that stillness into your work and your household.

E fai le filemu a le lalolagi i luga o tulaga: tupe, soifua mālōlōina, ma le taimi. A suia na mea, e mou atu foi le filemu. Ae o le filemu a Keriso e mau i lona lava tumau. I lenei aso, fa'atali mo le lua minute i le filemu a'o le'i tatala au telefoni. Fa'alogo, tatalo, ona fa'aoga lea o lena to'afilemu i lau galuega ma lou aiga.
