Wednesday, May 12

Be in subjection to the older men. . . . Clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the haughty ones.—1 Pet. 5:5.

 

Avoid being presumptuous. If we heed the direction we receive from trusted, responsible brothers, we will avoid problems. For example, in a land where the work is under ban, the responsible brothers had directed that the publishers not leave printed literature in the ministry. Yet, a pioneer brother in that location felt that he knew better and distributed literature. What was the result? Shortly after he and some others finished a period of informal witnessing, they were questioned by the police. Apparently, officials had followed them and were able to retrieve the literature they had distributed. What do we learn from this experience? We need to follow direction even if we feel that we know better. Jehovah always blesses us when we cooperate with the brothers whom he has appointed to take the lead among us.—Heb. 13:7, 17. w19.07 12 ¶17

oon enough being obedient will mean our life. Jehovah has a saying, "the person who is faithful in least, is faithful in much. " The time to learn how to be obedient in little things is now. We want to be like the the great of Revelation who shout, "salvation we owe to our God..."

That's a very good point... don't ask why, just do it.
