All Scripture is inspired of God.—2 Tim. 3:16.

 

The Greek word translated “inspired of God” literally means “God-breathed.” God used his spirit to “breathe” his thoughts into the minds of Bible writers. When we read the Bible and meditate on what we read, God’s instructions enter our mind and heart. Those inspired thoughts move us to bring our life in line with God’s will. (Heb. 4:12) But to benefit fully from holy spirit, we must set aside time to study the Bible regularly and to think deeply about what we read. Then God’s Word will influence all that we say and do. Also, we must worship God together. (Ps. 22:22) Jehovah’s spirit is present at meetings. (Rev. 2:29) When we meet for worship with fellow Christians, we pray for holy spirit, we sing Kingdom songs based on God’s Word, and we listen to Bible-based instruction presented by brothers who have been appointed by holy spirit. To benefit fully from holy spirit, however, we need to come prepared to participate in the meetings. w19.11 11 ¶13-14

[Elnathan]

‘God breathed his Spirit’ in other words, He poured out His thoughts on what will be beneficial for us. To show our appreciation, obedience & respect - we need to play our part to fully benefit from God’s Holy Spirit. 
Holy Spirit will move us to praise Jehovah with our heartfelt comments in the midsts of the congregation. It will also give us a hearing ear, to heed Jehovah’s instructions in the meetings & benefit from it. 

[Vinnie]

 We need to feed our heart and mind on good things that come from Jehovah. Man does not live on bread alone. Jehovah feeds us through study and the meetings too.
