What happened to the picture. All I see is this

@Vincent Callahan You handled those scriptures beautifully, Vincent. Your point about Jehovah opening a real “door” rather than us forcing a shortcut fits 1 Corinthians 10:13 exactly. What you drew from Saul’s impatience at 1 Samuel 13:10 was solid too — so often the test is simply whether we wait long enough to see Jehovah act. And you tied it all together well with Romans 12:2. Temptation really does begin as a thought, and the moment we meet it there — before it grows legs — is often the moment Jehovah’s help is most clearly felt. That’s part of the rescue Peter spoke about in the daily text: Jehovah knowing how to reach us at the level where the battle starts, not just after the damage is done. I appreciated the clarity of your illustration — and the faith behind it.

We had a great time this morning using the new tracts

warning: you can't stitch published videos, only drafts.

When you are in your drafts folder, click "select" in the upper right corner. Then click the drafts you want to combine (in the order you want them to play), and click "stitch" at the bottom. It will generate a new video for you (at no extra cost). This is the first time I've used the feature officially. three 10 second clips with the same prompt

Awww... much love and prayers for brother Lösch

This particular Daily Text dealt with the topic of temptation very well. It immediately made me think of my favorite Scripture in the Bible which is: 1 Corinthians 10:13. No temptation has come upon you except what is common to men. But God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out so that you may be able to endure it. I have a particular way I view this verse. It's like your awaiting a way out of a particular space, and there's a shortcut you can try to take to get out and there's a door that God can open up for you but you have to be patient and wait on it to open for you. For example, when Saul gave the sacrifice that he was waiting on Samuel to arrive and give.... 1 Samuel 13:10 But as soon as he had finished offering up the burnt sacrifice, Samuel arrived. So Saul went out to meet him and bless him. I think it is amazing how we are made with rational minds and being able to overcome temptation if we can do what the Scripture says at Romans 12:2: And stop being molded by this system of things, but be transformed by making your mind over, so that you may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. We are able to confront temptation on at the level where it is a thought being contemplated, we have to cultivate or develop that skill of 'making the mind over'.

THANKS FOR HELPING ME ,,OFTEN FELT SAME WAY , DUE TO EXTREME DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES, GOING THROUGH AT THE MOMENT.😔

Today was a day of pure frustration frosted with the comfort of God!

"Up the Down Staircase" is a novel written by Bel Kaufman, published in 1965, which spent 64 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list.

Another Monday when I wake up.

30 seconds? Did you do 2 x 15 seconds and glued them together offline?

Right, but the one above is 30 seconds? How did you do that?

Now is the time to come to the aid of one another.

Last week, during morning worship at Bethel in the USA, the announcement was made. 😢I don't have any more details at the moment.

it costs you 2 generations to make a 15 second clip. You can pay real money to have more generations, but I stick with the free daily ones.

I guess you have to pay to make longer videos, correct?

Honest(y) was the subject of public talk today.

Estimated results can mislead if the heart behind them is not honest.

When the Quiet Battle Turns Some struggles announce themselves with noise — arguments, losses, failures you can point to. Others move quietly, almost politely, slipping into the corners of your thinking. You don’t see them coming. You just reach a moment when you realize your strength has been thinner than you thought, your guard lower than you ever intended. And in that moment, it can feel as if the whole weight of the fight is yours alone. But scripture keeps reminding us that Jehovah takes particular interest in quiet battles. When Peter said, “Jehovah knows how to rescue people of godly devotion out of trial” — 2 Peter 2:9, he wasn’t speaking about dramatic rescues only. He was speaking about the subtle ones too — the rescues that happen inside a person before anyone else notices. The human brain is built with pathways that respond to threat. Researchers talk about the amygdala firing before we even have time to form a thought. That’s real. That’s measurable. But what they cannot measure is the moment Jehovah steps into that firing and steadies a heart that feels cornered. They cannot quantify why an impulse weakens, or why a craving that felt loud a moment ago suddenly loses its edge. They cannot track the invisible timing of a Father who intervenes exactly when His servant asks. Still, Jehovah rarely removes the battle altogether. He strengthens the person standing in it. Jesus captured that idea when he taught us to pray, “Do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one” — Matthew 6:13. The wording assumes conflict. But it also assumes rescue — not always a change of circumstance, but a change of footing under your own steps. And sometimes Jehovah’s rescue looks like clarity. You see the temptation for what it actually is — a trap that doesn’t match who you are becoming. Other times the rescue is endurance. You simply outlast the moment that tried to bend you. And still other times the rescue is a quiet reminder — you belong to Someone who has not lost sight of you, even when you struggle to see yourself clearly. So when the next quiet battle comes — when something unclean brushes the edge of your thoughts, or discouragement tries to settle in your chest — pause. Ask for His help before the moment takes shape. Jehovah does not wait for the battle to become noisy. He meets you at the first tremor, the first flicker of weakness, the first honest prayer. And long before you recognize the rescue, He has already begun it — with him.
