" undisturbed,” demonstrating trust " 💕

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Our Kingdom hope serves “as an anchor for the soul,” giving us stability despite challenging circumstances or anxious thoughts. Meditate on Jehovah’s promise of a future in which negative thoughts will be gone. 

 

Picture yourself in the peaceful new world, where distressing situations will no longer exist.  You will also strengthen your hope as you share it with others. Do all you can in the preaching and disciple-making work. If you do, you can “have the full assurance of the hope down to the end.”

 

As this system of things comes to its end, we will experience more challenges that could produce anxious thoughts. We will be able to face those challenges and remain calm, not in our own strength, but through our trust in Jehovah. Let us show by our actions that we have faith in Jehovah’s promise: “Your strength will be in keeping calm and showing trust.”

(Col 3:13)  Continue putting up with one another and forgiving one another freely even if anyone has a cause for complaint against another. Just as Jehovah freely forgave you, you must also do the same.

Note that James 5:11 links Jehovah’s tender affection to another quality that draws us to him—his mercy. 

One way in which Jehovah shows us mercy is by forgiving us for the mistakes we make. In the Bible, mercy involves much more than forgiveness.

 

Mercy is an intense feeling that springs from inside a person when he or she sees someone in distress and is moved to try to help the person. Jehovah describes the intense desire he has to help us as being greater than the feelings that a mother has for her child. 

 

When we are in distress, Jehovah’s mercy moves him to help us.  We can show mercy to our brothers and sisters by forgiving them and not holding a grudge when they disappoint us.

 

But a primary way we can show mercy is by supporting our brothers and sisters through the hardships they face. Thus we imitate Jehovah, the supreme example of tender affection.

A family head needs to maintain the right balance. He should not become so involved in secular work to support his family that he fails to care properly for his family’s spiritual and emotional needs and provide them with training.

 

Jehovah trains and disciplines us with our best interests in mind.  Like his Father, Jesus trains those under his authority in a loving manner. He is firm but kind.  He understands that we are imperfect and prone to make mistakes. 

 

A family head who imitates Jehovah and Jesus makes allowances for the imperfections of family members. He does not become “bitterly angry” with his wife or children.  Instead, he applies the principle recorded at Galatians 6:1 and tries to readjust them “in a spirit of mildness,” remembering that he too is imperfect. Like Jesus, he realizes that the best way to teach is by example

Sunday

 

By means of the ransom, Jehovah purchased the lives of each individual in the congregation and, potentially, of all humankind.  So it is fitting that he appointed Jesus, who gave his life as a ransom, as head of the congregation.

 

As our head, Jesus has the authority to make and to enforce rules that govern the conduct of individuals, of families, and of the entire congregation.  But Jesus does more than just make rules. He feeds and cherishes each one of us. 

 

Sisters show that they respect Christ by following the direction given by the men he has appointed to take care of them. Brothers show that they understand the headship arrangement by respecting and honoring sisters. When all in the congregation understand and respect the principle of headship, the congregation enjoys peace. And more important, we bring praise to our loving heavenly Father, Jehovah.

During the time when David and his men were fugitives, they had left their families to go on a mission. While the men were away, an enemy force raided their homes and took their families captive. David could have concluded that with all the experience he had as a warrior, he could surely devise an effective strategy for rescuing the captives.

 

Instead, David looked to Jehovah for guidance. David inquired of Jehovah: “Should I chase after this marauder band?” Jehovah indicated that David should do so and assured him that he would be successful. 

 

What can you learn from this incident? Seek advice before you make decisions. Young ones, consult your parents. You can also get good advice by talking to experienced elders. Jehovah trusts these appointed men, and you can too. Jehovah views them as “gifts” to the congregation.  You will benefit by imitating their faith and by listening to the wise suggestions they give

Jesus said that if we do not apply what we learn, we are like a man who builds his house on sand. He works hard, but he is wasting his effort. Why? Because when a storm and flood hit his house, it will collapse. 

 

Similarly, if we do not apply what we learn, we will have wasted our effort. When our faith is tested by trials or persecution, it will not be strong enough.

 

On the other hand, when we study and apply what we learn, we make better decisions, we gain more peace, and we develop stronger faith. 

 

To maintain our integrity under trial, we need to rely on Jehovah in prayer and maintain a good study routine. And we must always remember that one of the most important things we can do is to bring glory to Jehovah. We can be certain that Jehovah will never abandon us and that there is nothing anyone can do to break his love for us.

All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth.

 

We must be friends with Jesus if we are to have a good relationship with Jehovah. Why is that true? Consider just 2 reasons. First, Jesus told his disciples: “The Father himself has affection for you, because you have had affection for me.” 

 

He also said: “No one comes to the Father except through me.”  Trying to be Jehovah’s friend without building a close bond with Jesus is like trying to enter a building without using the door.

 

Jesus used a similar illustration when he described himself as “the door for the sheep.” 

 

A 2nd reason is that Jesus perfectly reflected his Father’s qualities. He said to his disciples: “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father also.” So an important way that we come to know Jehovah is by studying the life of Jesus. As we learn about Jesus, our affection for him will grow. And as our friendship with Jesus grows, our love for his Father will deepen

Are you lying in a bed or sitting in a wheelchair? Do you have weak knees or poor eyesight? If so, can you run along with those who are young and healthy? You certainly can!

 

Many older and infirm ones are running on the road to life. They cannot do this work in their own power. Instead, they draw on Jehovah’s strength by listening to Christian meetings over a telephone tie-line or watching meetings through video streaming. And they engage in the disciple-making work by witnessing to doctors, nurses, and relatives.

 

Never let discouragement over your physical limitations convince you that you are too weak to run on the road to life. Jehovah loves you for your faith in him and your record of endurance. You need his help now more than ever, and he will not abandon you.

 

 Instead, he will draw even closer to you
