Christian Living – Trusting Jehovah’s Wisdom

Stay Within the Bounds of Jehovah’s Wisdom

A Scriptural Consideration Entry   “Do not go beyond the things that are written.“—1 Corinthians 4:6 (NWT)   The phone buzzed again. Another article popped up. Another video claiming to know “what’s really going on.” It would’ve been easy to click—just for a second—to see if there was something we might be missing. It’s everywhere now. Endless headlines. Endless “urgent” warnings. But somewhere under all the noise, there’s that quiet reminder from Jehovah’s Word: “Do not go b

“Be reasonable, displaying all mildness toward all men.”​—Titus 3:2

A Scriptural Consideration Entry   A crowded hallway. A sharp comment. A student scoffs, “You still believe in God? That’s ridiculous.” Another adds, almost offhandedly, that Jehovah’s Witnesses are “outdated,” especially on moral stuff. In moments like these, you might just freeze up. Or maybe your instinct is to fire back. But what if, instead of reacting, we respond—with mildness?   Paul told Titus to remind the congregation to be peaceable and considerate, showing “all mi

“Honor your father and your mother.” —Exodus 20:12

A Scriptural Consideration Entry   “Honor your father and your mother.” —Exodus 20:12 A Scriptural Consideration Entry   The sun was already low over Jerusalem, throwing long shadows through the courtyards. The festival was over. People were packing up, walking home in clusters, tired but full of joy. It should’ve been a simple journey. But somehow—Jesus wasn’t with them.   He wasn’t lost. He wasn’t hiding. He was right where he felt he needed to be—in his Fath

“Death will be no more”—The Promise That Cannot Be Broken

A Scriptural Consideration Entry   “Death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” —Revelation 21:4   A young woman kneels by a graveside, fingers trembling as they trace the carved letters of a name now silent. The air is thick with the ache of questions: “Why him? Why now? Will I ever see him again?” For those who grieve, promises can feel like paper boats in a storm—fragile, sinking beneath the weight of sorrow. But Jehovah’s promises are not

Moral Purity / Godly Fear

The Protective Power of Godly Fear

“By fearing Jehovah one turns away from bad.” — Proverbs 16:6   A Scriptural Consideration Entry   She stands at the crossroads, veiled in perfume and praise. Her words drip with flattery; her smile promises ease. And for the one wearied by battle—by loneliness, by shame, or simple curiosity—her invitation feels strangely warm. “Come in here,” she says. “No one will know.” But the wise can already hear the echoing silence in her house. It is the silence of souls lost, of warning

“My Soul Magnifies Jehovah” — The Quiet Strength of Spiritual Independence

A Scriptural Consideration   “Mary said: ‘My soul magnifies Jehovah.’” — Luke 1:46   The morning light filtered through the open window, brushing against the worn edge of her prayer cloth. Mary’s voice, though soft, carried a depth of devotion that stirred the air. Alone in a borrowed home, cradling a growing promise within her womb, she didn’t lift her eyes to Joseph for reassurance. She lifted them to Jehovah. Her words weren’t rehearsed or recited—they were a song, rising
Compassion in Action / Resurrection Hope

“The Only Son of His Mother” — A Portrait of Grief, A Miracle of Mercy

A Scriptural Consideration Entry   “There was a dead man being carried out, the only son of his mother. Besides, she was a widow.” —Luke 7:12   She stood still, watching the procession carry away what was left of her world.   It was not just her son they were carrying—it was her future, her support, her last human thread of comfort. She was a widow already. Now her only son was gone. And with him, every hope of companionship, of care, of being remembered. Grief blur
Christian Conduct / Moral Integrity

A Shield of Loyalty in a Lawless Age

“Jehovah is our Lawgiver.” —Isaiah 33:22 A Scriptural Consideration   The lights dimmed. The crowd erupted. A single name rang out, chanted like a sacred word. Cameras flashed. Screens lit with reverent awe. Somewhere in that moment, one person stood still—unmoved by the fevered devotion of thousands. To the crowd, it was just excitement. To her, it was a line she would not cross. Her allegiance belonged elsewhere.   That scene plays out daily, not just in stadiums

“The One Who Promised Is Faithful” - A Promise That Warms the Coldest Days

A Scriptural Consideration Entry   “Let us hold firmly the public declaration of our hope without wavering, for the one who promised is faithful.” —Hebrews 10:23   The wind howled against the windowpanes, frost etching delicate ferns across the glass. Outside, the world was locked in ice—barren trees, empty streets, a silence that seemed to stretch endlessly. In such moments, summer can feel like a dream we barely remember. Will warmth ever return? And yet, year after year, i

​​​​​​​“Critical Times Hard to Deal With” — Living Faithfully in a World That Won’t Wake Up

A Scriptural Consideration     “But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.” —2 Timothy 3:1    The sirens had stopped blaring, but the silence was worse. Ash hung in the air like a curtain refusing to rise. Beneath it, broken buildings crumbled into unspoken grief. And still—someone in a nearby shop was restocking shelves. A young couple walked by, arguing about phone plans. A dog barked in the distance, chasing something mean

“We Take Pride in You” — A Story of Humility, Healing, and Honor

A Scriptural Consideration   “We ourselves take pride in you among the congregations of God because of your endurance and faith.” — 2 Thessalonians 1:4   —   She walked quietly down the Kingdom Hall corridor, her Bible in hand, her thoughts trailing behind her like a ribbon unraveling. It had been a long week. Correction had come—gently given but keenly felt. It had surprised her. After all, hadn’t she tried her best? Wasn’t her reputation solid?   The wor

“In the Final Part of the Days” — A Storm Against His People, A Sanctuary of His Name

A Scriptural Consideration Entry   “In the final part of the days I will bring you against my land so that the nations may know me when I sanctify myself through you before their eyes, O Gog.” — Ezekiel 38:16, NWT     The winds were gathering—not over the hills of Judah, nor upon the plains of Megiddo, but over the entire earth. Silently at first, then rumbling like distant thunder, the forces amassed, unseen by human eyes but foretold in perfect detail. A storm, drive

“Let Each One Examine His Own Actions” — The Quiet Strength of Personal Faith

“Let Each One Examine His Own Actions” — The Quiet Strength of Personal Faith   A Scriptural Consideration Entry   “But let each one examine his own actions, and then he will have cause for rejoicing in regard to himself alone, and not in comparison with the other person.” — Galatians 6:4     —   The wind pressed against her jacket as she stepped out into the early morning light, service bag in one hand, cane in the other. Every step was slower than i

“They went from year to year…” — The Beauty of Belonging in the Journey

A Scriptural Consideration inspired by Luke 2:41   “Now his parents were accustomed to go from year to year to Jerusalem for the festival of the Passover.” — Luke 2:41   The dusty roads of Judea wound through olive groves and sun-washed hills. From the villages and scattered towns, they came—families walking side by side, elders steadying the pace, little ones clasping hands and humming festival songs. Cloaks billowed in the breeze, baskets creaked on shoulders, and hearts be

“You Will Prosper… Good Health to You!” — Strength for the Weary in a Sick World

A Scriptural Consideration   “If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!” —Acts 15:29, NWT     The parchment was still crisp, the ink not yet dry, when the travelers arrived with the letter. Jerusalem’s heat had settled, and lanterns flickered across the Antioch congregation’s meeting place. The air was heavy with concern—Jewish and Gentile believers alike had questions, fears, consciences pricked by new expectations and c

“The Fruitage of the Spirit Is Love” — Walking the Quiet Path of Spiritual Maturity

“On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control.” —Galatians 5:22, 23 👉 Read in the New World Translation   The hallway was quiet except for the rhythmic ticking of the old clock on the wall and the hum of fluorescent lights overhead. In the small hospital room, a brother sat beside his aging father’s bed, Bible open on his lap. The machines beeped steadily—marking time in a space where time seemed to

“Supernatural Visions and Revelations of the Lord” — When Truth Awaits Its Appointed Time

“I will move on to supernatural visions and revelations of the Lord.” —2 Corinthians 12:1, NWT   The room was silent except for the scratch of a quill on parchment. Flickering lamplight danced across stone walls, chasing shadows as a weary but resolute figure pressed forward. His body bore the scars of beatings and shipwrecks, hunger and cold. Yet Paul’s eyes—tired though they were—shone with something that could not be touched by suffering: hope.   He had known affliction. B

“No Resident Will Say: ‘I Am Sick.’” — A Vision of Healing and the Heart of God

Scriptural Consideration – Isaiah 33:24   “No resident will say: ‘I am sick.’ The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error.” — Isaiah 33:24   The wind had settled. The sky, once troubled and bruised by the fury of judgment, now stretched wide with peace. Ashes had given way to shoots of green.

“But take your stand against him, firm in the faith, knowing that the same kind of sufferings are being experienced by the entire association of your brothers in the world.” —1 Peter 5:9   The rain fell in sheets that morning, soaking the streets of São Paulo in a gray hush. On the eleventh floor of a narrow apartment building, a young pioneer sister named Clara wiped the window with her sleeve and pulled her sweater tighter. Her Bible lay open beside her tea, its pages softly ripplin

“He Will Remind You of My Methods” — The Quiet Strength of Continuity

The congregation buzzed with anticipation. A new brother had just been appointed, and as he stepped onto the platform for his first assignment, there was excitement—yes—but also a quiet wondering: What will change now?   That question hangs in the air more often than we realize.   A newly appointed elder or ministerial servant may feel the weight of that moment pressing in, as though his appointment carries an expectation to blaze a trail, to leave a mark, to improve somethin

“Trembling at Men is a Snare” — A Story of Shadows and Courage

“Trembling at men is a snare, but the one trusting in Jehovah will be protected.” — Proverbs 29:25 (NWT)   The temple corridors were quiet—eerily so. Somewhere beneath its gilded surfaces, the air carried the tension of a kingdom teetering on ruin. Blood had stained the palace floors. Screams had been muffled beneath royal decrees. And fear—yes, fear—had tightened its grip around Judah like a choking vine.   But not on everyone.   In a hidden chamber of the house of

With My Eye Upon You” — When the Path Feels Hidden

There are seasons in life that feel like wandering through shadow—where each step forward is uncertain and the next decision weighs like a stone. Sometimes it comes with a diagnosis. Sometimes with a phone call that changes everything. And in those moments, the words of David ring not just as poetry, but as lifelines:     But if we’re honest—really honest—there are days when it’s hard to feel that. When exhaustion buries clarity. When even our prayers feel like sighs.
