FOR ma kahi o ʻekolu mau makahiki, ke hoʻāʻo nei māua me kaʻu wahine e kūʻai aku i kā mākou mahiʻai. Ua manaʻo mākou i kēia “kāhea” e neʻe mākou i aneʻi, a i ʻole neʻe ma aneʻi. Ua pule mākou e pili ana ia a manaʻo mākou he nui nā kumu kūpono a ua manaʻo mākou i kahi "maluhia" e pili ana. Akā nō naʻe, ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā mākou kahi mea kūʻai mai (ʻo ka mea kūʻai mai i hele pū mai ua hiki ke wehewehe ʻia i kēlā me kēia manawa) a ua pani pinepine ʻia ka puka o ka manawa kūpono. I ka manawa mua, ua hoʻowalewale ʻia mākou e ʻōlelo, "E ke Akua, no ke aha ʻoe e hoʻomaikaʻi ʻole nei i kēia?" Akā i kēia mau lā, ua ʻike mākou ua noi hewa mākou i ka nīnau. ʻAʻole paha ia, "E ke Akua, e hoʻomaikaʻi mai i kā mākou ʻike," akā, "E ke Akua, he aha kou makemake?" A laila, pono mākou e pule, hoʻolohe, a ma mua o nā mea āpau, kali no nā ka mōakāka a me ka maluhia. ʻAʻole mākou i kali no nā mea ʻelua. A e like me ka mea a kaʻu luna ʻuhane i haʻi mai ai iaʻu i mau manawa i loko o nā makahiki i hala, “Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻike i ka mea e hana ai, mai hana i kekahi mea.”
'O ka ha'aheo he noe malimali a weliweli hoʻi e kolo hāmau i loko o ka ʻuhane hoʻokano. Hoʻokumu koke ia i nā illusion e pili ana iā ia iho a me ka mea maoli. No ka Christian Keristiano hoʻoikaika, aia kekahi pilikia e hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaka e manaʻo e hoʻopōmaikaʻi ke Akua i kā mākou mau hana āpau; ʻo ia ke kumu o a pau ko mākou mau manaʻo maikaʻi a me nā mea hōʻeuʻeu. Akā ke kuhi mākou i kēia ala, maʻalahi ka hele i mua o ke Akua a ʻike koke ʻaʻole mākou ma ke ala hewa wale nō, akā ma kahi hopena make. A i ʻole, ke lohe pono nei paha mākou i ka Haku, akā ʻo kā mākou ahonui ʻole e kāpae i kēlā Leo ʻuʻuku e hāwanawana nei: "ʻAe, e kuʻu keiki — akā ʻaʻole naʻe."
ʻO nā hopena o ka hele ʻana i mua o ke Akua he mea weliweli loa ia no ka ʻIseraʻela, e like me kā mākou e ʻike nei i ka heluhelu mua ʻana i kēia lā maanei). Ke noʻonoʻo nei no ka mea iā lākou ka pahu o ka berita, hiki iā lākou 
lanakila i ke kaua, lawe lākou i ka pūʻali koa Pilisetia ... a ua luku ʻia. ʻAʻole lākou i lilo he mau kaukani mau kāne, akā ʻo ka pahu ponoʻī.
I ka manawa i hoʻi mai ai i kā lākou waiwai, ua kāhea ke kāula ʻo Samuʻela i ka poʻe e mihi i kā lākou hoʻomana akua a me nā makemake a e pule. I ka hoʻoweliweli hou ʻana o ko Pilisetia iā lākou, ma kahi o ka manaʻo no ka mea iā lākou ka pahu e lanakila ana lākou, ua noi lākou iā Samuʻela.
Mai hooki oe i ka kahea ana aku ia Iehova, i ko makou Akua no makou, e hoopakele mai ai ia makou i ka lima o ko Pilisetia. (1 Sam 7: 8)
I kēia manawa, ua lanakila ke Akua i ko Pilisetia kona ala, i loko kona manawa. Ua kapa ʻo Samuʻela i ka inoa ʻo Ebenezer, ʻo ia hoʻi "pōhaku o ke kōkua", no ka mea "Ma kēia wahi ua kōkua mai ka Haku iā mākou." [1]1 Samuel 7: 12 ʻAʻole hiki i ka poʻe ʻIseraʻela ke ʻike mua i kēia lanakila ... e like me ʻoe a ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke ʻike mua i ka makemake o ke Akua, ʻaʻole hoʻi i ka mea e pono ai no mākou, ʻaʻole hoʻi i ka mea kūpono nona. No ka mea ʻaʻole pili ka Haku i ke kūkulu ʻana i kā mākou mau aupuni pilikino akā no ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻuhane.
Makemake ke Akua e kōkua iā ʻoe, makemake ʻo ia makua ʻo ʻoe Makemake ʻo ia e hāʻawi iā ʻoe "Nā hoʻomaikaʻi ʻuhane āpau i ka lani" [2]'Epehana 1: 3 a mālama pū i kāu pono kino.[3]e nānā Mat 6: 25-34 Akā i kāna ala, kāna manawa. No ka mea, ʻo ia wale nō ke ʻike i ka wā e hiki mai ana; ʻIke ʻo ia i ka hiki i nā hoʻomaikaʻi ke lilo i mau hōʻino a pehea e lilo ai nā hōʻino i mau hoʻomaikaʻi. ʻO ia ke kumu i noi ai ʻo ia iā mākou haʻalele loa iā mākou iā ia.
ʻIke ʻoe, manaʻo mākou he poʻe mākua mākou i ka Haku. Akā ua akāka ʻo Iesū i ko mākou ʻano e like me ke kamaliʻi. Pehea ka lapuwale no kaʻu ʻeiwa mau makahiki e haʻi mai iaʻu e haʻalele ana ʻo ia i ka home e hoʻomaka i kahi ʻoihana no ka mea makemake ʻo ia i kahi mea lawelawe (i kēia mau lā, ke hoʻopaʻa nei ʻo ia i ka ʻeke a lawelawe iā mākou i ka tī). E nanea paha ʻo ia iā ia; manaʻo paha ʻo ia he maikaʻi ma ia mea; akā pono ʻo ia e kali no ka mea ʻaʻole kokoke ʻo ia e noho ma kāna iho. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka mea āna i manaʻo ai he maikaʻi i kēia manawa, ʻike paha ʻo ia ma hope ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa.
Ua ʻōlelo mai kuʻu alakaʻi ʻuhane iaʻu i kekahi lā, “ʻO ka mea laʻa ʻaʻole laʻa mau ia no oe. ” I kēia mau lā Euanelio, nānā ʻole ka lepero i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a Iesū e paʻa paʻa i ka hoʻōla i loaʻa iā ia. Ma kahi o ia mea, ua hele ʻo ia a haʻi i nā poʻe āpau āna e pili ai no Iesū. Kani paha i kahi mea laʻa, ʻeā? ʻAʻole anei ʻo Iesū i hele mai e hoʻōla i ka honua, a no laila, ʻaʻole paha ʻike ko ke ao nei? ʻO ka pilikia ʻaʻole ia manawa. Pono e hana i nā mea ʻē aʻe imua o E hoʻokumu ʻo Iesū i kona noho aliʻi ʻuhane — ʻo ia hoʻi, kāna Passion, Make, a me ke ala hou ʻana. E like me ia, ʻaʻole hiki iā Iesū ke komo hou i nā kauhale a i nā kauhale paha no ka nui o ka lehulehu. Ehia mau poʻe i makemake e ʻike a hoʻolohe iā Iesū, a laila, ʻaʻole hiki a i hana ai aole paha?
E oʻu mau kaikaina aloha, noho mākou i kahi kaiāulu nāna i hoʻolale iā mākou e koi - mai ka ʻai wikiwiki, a hiki i ka hoʻoiho koke, a me nā kamaʻilio koke. ʻAʻole mākou ahonui i kēia manawa ke lawe maoli nā mea i kekona kekona aʻe ma mua o ka maʻamau. ʻO ka weliweli ke hoʻomaka mākou i ka papahana e hana ke Akua ma ke ʻano like. Akā ma waho ʻo ia o ka manawa, ma waho o nā palena a me nā pahu a mākou e hoʻāʻo ai e hoʻokomo iā ia i loko. E like me ka ʻIseraʻela, pono mākou e mihi i ko mākou haʻaheo, kuhihewa, a ahonui ʻole. Pono mākou e hoʻi, me ko mākou naʻau āpau, e ʻohi wale ʻana Ke Keʻa o ke Aloha, a waiho i nā mea hoʻouluulu ʻē aʻe i ka Makua - no ka ʻano o ka hemolele o ko lākou ʻano - a ʻōlelo e like me kā ke kāula Samuʻela, “Eia wau. E ʻōlelo mai ʻoe, e ka Haku, e hoʻolohe ana kāu kauwā. [4]1 Sam 3:10
A laila kali no kāna pane.
Hilinaʻi i ka Haku a hana i ka maikaʻi e noho ai ʻoe i ka ʻāina a noho maluhia. E ʻike i kou ʻoliʻoli i ka Haku nāna e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka makemake o kou puʻuwai. E hāʻawi i kou ala i ka Haku; hilinaʻi iā ia a hana ʻo ia a hoʻomālamalama i kou pono e like me ka wanaʻao, kou hoʻopono e like me ke awakea. E noho mālie i mua o ka Haku; kali iā ia. (Halelu 37: 3-7)
No ka mea, ua ʻike maopopo loa wau i nā hoʻolālā aʻu e noʻonoʻo nei nāu ... nā hoʻolālā no kou pono a ʻaʻole no ka auwē, i mea e hāʻawi ai iā ʻoe i ka hope o ka manaʻolana. Ke kāhea mai ʻoe iaʻu, a hele mai a pule iaʻu, e hoʻolohe nō wau iā ʻoe. Ke ʻimi ʻoe iaʻu, ʻike ʻoe iaʻu. ʻAe, ke ʻimi ʻoe iaʻu me kou puʻuwai āpau ... (Ieremia 29: 11-13)
KA HOʻOPIʻI MAKAHI
ʻO ka hua i haʻalele ʻole ʻia o ka haʻalele ʻana
ʻO ka Now Word kahi lawelawe manawa piha
hilinaʻi nui i ka lokomaikaʻi o ka mea heluhelu.
Mahalo no kāu mau pule a kākoʻo!
E huakaʻi me Mark i ka ka ʻ Wordlelo,
kaomi ma ka hae ma lalo i kakau.
ʻAʻole e māhele ʻia kāu leka uila me kekahi.
