Tuesday, September 7

Even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are happy.—1 Pet. 3:14.

 

Never allow anything that mere humans say or do to make you feel ashamed of being one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. (Mic. 4:5) Consider the example set by the apostles in Jerusalem just after Jesus was put to death. They knew how much the Jewish religious leaders hated them. (Acts 5:17, 18,27, 28) Yet, every day they continued to go to the temple and publicly identify themselves as disciples of Jesus. (Acts 5:42) They refused to cower in fear. We too can defeat our own fear of man by regularly and publicly identifying ourselves as Jehovah’s Witnesses—at work, at school, and in our neighborhood. (Acts 4:29; Rom. 1:16) Why were the apostles happy? They knew why they were hated, and they considered it an honor to be mistreated for doing Jehovah’s will. (Luke 6:23; Acts 5:41; 1 Pet. 2:19-21) When we understand that we are hated for doing what is right, we will never allow the hatred of men to paralyze us with fear. w19.07 7 ¶19-20

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.

Have you been in a position where your name and reputation were under a personal assault by one or more people? How did you feel when someone stood away from the crowd to support you?
 It no doubt took much courage for that person, knowing that they too would likely feel the scorn. 
But, consider the result :
1)You felt tremendous love from 'that person' 
2)'That person' felt inner peace and satisfaction knowing he stood  up for his friend.
  Be 'THAT PERSON' and stand up for your best friend Jehovah!!!
