Tuesday, January 5

Make sure of the more important things.—Phil. 1:10.

 

What should our priorities include? We should certainly spend time each day studying God’s Word. The amount of material now scheduled for the congregation’s weekly Bible reading has been reduced in order to give us more time to meditate on what we read and to do extra research. Our goal should be, not merely to cover the assigned material, but to allow the Bible’s message to touch our hearts and to draw us closer to Jehovah. (Ps. 19:14) The Watchtower Study is a study of the Bible. Therefore, pay particular attention to the scriptures, especially those that will be read when the congregation considers the material. Take special note of how the key words or phrases in the scriptures support the point being made in the paragraph. Moreover, take time to meditate on the scriptures that you read, and reflect on how you can personally apply them in your life.—Josh. 1:8. w19.05 27 ¶5; 28 ¶9

In addition to our many publications we study, we take time each week to attend our midweek and our watchtower study. We benefit in the changes made in our weekly study materials. The weekly Bible reading has been used to reach our hearts and to draw us closer to Jehovah. Before each meeting, we benefit in studying the watchtower because it is the study of the Bible with the key words or phrases in the scriptures support the point being made in the paragraph. We understand meditation to the scriptures and application to our life is another way to benefit fully in our studies.
