Sunday, March 20

I have resolved to obey your regulations at all times, down to the last.—Ps. 119:112.

 

We need to be patient when helping a student progress to dedication and baptism. But at some point, we need to find out if he has the desire to serve Jehovah God. Do you see signs that the student is trying to obey Jesus’ commandments? Or does he only want to learn facts from the Bible? Regularly analyze the progress that the student is making. For example, does he express his feelings for Jehovah? Does he pray to Jehovah? (Ps. 116:1, 2) Does he enjoy reading the Bible? (Ps. 119:97) Is he attending the meetings regularly? (Ps. 22:22) Has he made any needed changes in his lifestyle? Has he started sharing what he is learning with his family and friends? (Ps. 9:1) Most important, does he want to become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses? (Ps. 40:8) If the student is not making progress in any of these areas, tactfully try to find out why and then discuss the matter with him kindly but frankly. w20.10 18 ¶14-15

So I followed the suggestion someone made once to read the chapter the daily text is from. So far it's been great. Then we hit the 119th Psalm. 3 hours later.... 😁

 

But seriously, the 119th Psalm is one of the amazing parts of the Bible. There is a lot there to contemplate.

 

Ps 119:97: "How I do love your law! I ponder over it all day long."
