At the airport, I couldn’t find my luggage, so I went to the lost baggage counter. Me: "My bags never showed up." The lady smiled reassuringly. "Don’t worry, sir! I’m a trained professional. Now… has your plane landed yet?" I blinked. Me: "Nope, we’re still circling the airport. The pilot told us we’re third in line to land." Her: "Oh! Okay, well, come back after you land." …Sure thing, genius.

Praise Jehovah our great God for providing His son even for us imperfect humans. (Romans 8:21) that the creation itself will also be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God. (Romans 5:8) But God recommends his own love to us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Hi ucastrobr. Thanks for point to me to the tool. That's nice that someone else is also encoding the day text. I actually have a list of people and extract all the scriptures for the day text (nicely) then forward it to everyone who's on the group. This is like a push notification and reminder for people to do their day text. But this is an excellent tool as a backup (if something happens to me). It's not only the daily text that I'm encoding. It's all the older books like Revelation, Daniel, Isaiah, Proclaimers etc. so the day text isn't too difficult to encode. Few minutes a day. Will bookmark this tool. Appreciated.

Saturday, March 7 Give Jehovah his due, you families of the peoples, give Jehovah his due for his glory and strength.—Ps. 96:7. We glorify Jehovah because we deeply respect him. We have many reasons to respect him. Jehovah is almighty; he has limitless power. (Ps. 96:4-7) His profound wisdom is clearly evident in the things he has made. He is the Source of our life and the Sustainer of it. (Rev. 4:11) He is loyal. (Rev. 15:4) Everything he does succeeds, and he always keeps his promises. (Josh. 23:14) No wonder the prophet Jeremiah said regarding Jehovah: “Among all the wise ones of the nations and among all their kingdoms, there is no one at all like you”! (Jer. 10:6, 7) Certainly, we have good reasons to respect our heavenly Father. But Jehovah does more than earn our respect—he wins our love. And, most of all, we glorify Jehovah because we dearly love him. w25.01 3 ¶5-6

Acts 20:35 carries a quiet but immovable weight. In the middle of Paul’s farewell to the Ephesian elders, there is a word that refuses to remain theoretical. It is the word must. “I have shown you in all things that by working hard in this way, you must assist those who are weak…” Notice what that word does. It removes the comfortable distance between belief and obligation. Paul does not frame generosity as an admirable trait or a spiritual aspiration. He frames it as a necessity. A follower of Christ is not merely encouraged to help the weak; he must. Without that word, helping others could remain a matter of mood, timing, or convenience. A person could wait until circumstances feel favorable or until resources feel abundant. But must closes the door on hesitation. It insists that compassion is not something we schedule; it is something that governs us. Opportunities to do good are not meant to be postponed when they appear before us — Ga. 6:9, 10. And Paul ties that obligation directly to effort. “By working hard in this way…” The assistance he describes does not come from leftovers. It grows out of labor. It requires energy, attention, and sometimes sacrifice. Strength is not given merely for preservation; it is given so that it can support weakness — Ro. 15:1. But Paul does not stop with the command to act. There is another must in the sentence. “…and you must keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus…” The disciple is not only commanded to help. He is commanded to remember. The teaching of Jesus must remain present in the mind, active in the conscience, shaping the instinct of the heart. Forgetting would weaken the command. Memory strengthens it. What are we required to keep in mind? “There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.” That statement is not merely encouragement; it is orientation. It corrects the natural pull of the human heart toward accumulation and replaces it with a different compass. A person who forgets those words slowly drifts back toward self-protection. A person who keeps them before his mind is constantly drawn outward — Pr. 11:25. In that sense, the second must guards the first. If the words of Jesus remain alive in the mind, helping the weak will not feel like a reluctant duty. It will begin to feel natural. The heart will expect joy on the other side of generosity. This is the pattern Christ Himself lived. His ministry consistently moved toward the burdened, the overlooked, and the weary — Mt. 9:36; Lu. 14:13, 14. That same word now stands before every disciple. Must. We must help. And we must remember. Because forgetting the words of Christ weakens the impulse to act, while remembering them strengthens the resolve of the heart. When weakness appears—material, emotional, or spiritual—the disciple does not first measure convenience. The presence of need becomes the summons — 1 Th. 5:14. In that sense, the word must is not a burden. It is a compass. It keeps the heart from drifting into the quiet selfishness that can disguise itself as prudence. True devotion reveals itself not in restrained concern but in deliberate generosity — Jas. 2:15, 16. And when both commands are obeyed—when the disciple both remembers and acts—the promise of Jesus proves true. The giver discovers a happiness that cannot be manufactured by acquisition. Because the deepest joy is not found in what we keep. It is found in what love compels us to give.

He strongly promoted what became known as the Titius-Bode law, a mathematical pattern that seemed to predict the spacing of planets from the Sun. According to the pattern, there should have been a planet between Mars and Jupiter. Astronomers began searching for it — and in 1801 they discovered Ceres, the first known asteroid in the asteroid belt.
