Saturday, June 29

The Rock, perfect is his activity, for all his ways are justice.—Deut. 32:4.

 

“Will the Judge of all the earth not do what is right?” (Gen. 18:25) With that question, Abraham expressed confidence that Jehovah would render perfect justice in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham was convinced that Jehovah would never act unjustly by “putting the righteous man to death with the wicked one.” Such an act was “unthinkable” to Abraham. He could express such confidence because Jehovah is the greatest example of justice and righteousness. In fact, the Hebrew words rendered “justice” and “righteousness” often appear together in the Hebrew Scriptures. Basically, there is no distinction between what is just and what is right. Logically, since Jehovah is the ultimate standard of righteousness, his view of matters will always be just. Further, according to his own written Word, “he loves righteousness and justice.”—Ps. 33:5. w17.04 18 ¶1-2

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

The experience in this was interesting:

Consider the experience of Willi Diehl. Beginning in 1931, Brother Diehl served faithfully at the Bethel home in Bern, Switzerland. In 1946, he attended the eighth class of Gilead School in New York, U.S.A. After graduation, he was eventually assigned to the circuit work in Switzerland. In his life story, Brother Diehl related: “In May 1949, I informed headquarters in Bern that I planned to marry.” The response from the Bern office? “No privileges other than regular pioneering.” Brother Diehl went on to explain: “I was not permitted to give talks . . . Many no longer greeted us, treating us like disfellowshipped persons.”

 

7 How did Brother Diehl handle that situation? He stated: “We knew, however, that getting married was not unscriptural, so we took refuge in prayer and put our trust in Jehovah.” Eventually, the mistaken view regarding marriage that prompted the injustice was corrected, and Brother Diehl’s privileges of service were restored. His loyalty to Jehovah was rewarded.* 

It only took 2 years of being treated like he was DFd for marrying to get privileges back. This is a reminder to all who think they may have been dealt with harshly - learn what you can from the discipline and show your loyalty to Jah and His organization and things will work out.

 

:thumbsup:

 

ps - it won't be easy, but with Jehovah's help can be done.

Plan ahead as if Armageddon will not come in your lifetime, but lead your life as if it will come tomorrow (w 2004 Dec. 1 page 29)

Beautiful thoughts Jerry..  Sooner or later Jehovah always makes things right,  and until then, we have a precious privilege and opportunity to show Him what’s in our heart..

“¿El juez de toda la tierra no va a hacer lo que es recto?” (Gén. 18:25). Con esta pregunta, Abrahán expresó su confianza en que la decisión de Jehová sobre Sodoma y Gomorra sería perfectamente justa. Estaba convencido de que Dios nunca actuaría injustamente dando muerte “al justo con el inicuo”. Para él, eso era “inconcebible”. Pudo expresar tal confianza porque Dios es el ejemplo perfecto de justicia. Por eso, es lógico pensar que su forma de ver las cosas siempre es justa. Y no solo eso. Según su Palabra escrita, “es amador de justicia y derecho” (Sal. 33:5).

Today's text information is a bit shorter in Spanish, I guess because the words righteousness and justice are both translated as 'justicia'. When I read it in English I was wondering how they were going to translate that. 😃
