• Mhlawumbe indlela engcono kakhulu yokukhuthaza abantwana bakho ukuthi bazile ukudla—uma sebelungile—ukubasiza baqonde izinhloso zeNkosi zalomthetho. Cabangani ukufunda ndawonye u-Isaya 58:6–11 ukuze nithole izimpendulo zalemibuzo: Kungani sizila ukudla? Sizila kanjani? Ungabheka futhi “Ukuzila ukudla, ukuzila ukudla” kwiziHloko zemiBhalo eNgcwele.

• Uma uke waba nesehlakalo esibalulekile ngokuzila ukudla, wabelane ngaso nabantwana bakho. Ungababuza nokuthi bazomchazela kanjani umngane ukuthi kungani iNkosi isinikeze lomthetho.

• Ngemva kokufunda u-Isaya 58:13–14, ungase ubonise izinsuku zesonto ekhalendeni futhi umeme abantwana bakho ukuba basho izinsuku kanye nawe. Lapho ufika kwiSabatha, bacele ukuba babize lolosuku ngokuthi “ukuthokoza.” Batshele ukuthi kungani iSabatha liyintokozo kini.

• Ungase ucele abantwana bakho ukuba bavale amehlo abo njengoba ufunda u-Isaya 60:1–3. Bacele ukuthi bavule amehlo abo lapho bezwa igama elithi “ukukhanya” futhi bawavale futhi lapho bezwa igama elithi “ubumnyama.” Chaza ukuthi uJesu Kristu kanye nevangeli Lakhe kufana nokukhanya okusisiza ukuthi sibone indlela yethu ebuyela kuBaba oseZulwini.

• U-Isaya 65:17–25 uchaza ukuthi umhlaba uzoba njani uma uMsindisi ebuya futhi. Njengoba ufunda lamavesi nabantwana bakho, basize babheke ukuthi ukuphila kuyoba okuhluke kanjani ‘emhlabeni omusha’ u-Isaya akhuluma ngawo. Kungani lesi kuyoba isikhathi “sokuthokoza nokujabula kuze kube phakade”? (ivesi 18).
