Saturday, March 15

Be on your guard so that you may not be led astray with them by the error of the lawless people and fall from your own steadfastness.—2 Pet. 3:17.

 

What a privilege we have to use the time that remains to give a witness to people of all nations. The apostle Peter urges us to “keep close in mind” Jehovah’s day. (2 Pet. 3:11, 12) How? We do well to meditate—every day, if possible—on the blessings of the new world. Visualize yourself taking a breath of really clean air, eating healthful food, welcoming back loved ones as they are resurrected, and teaching people who lived centuries ago about the fulfillment of Bible prophecies. Such meditation will help to keep you in expectation and protect you against becoming indifferent to the times we live in. By “having this advance knowledge” of our future, we will “not be led astray” by false teachers. w23.09 27 ¶5-6

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

Jehovah certainly anticipated that individuals with fragile faith might become discouraged by the seeming delay of divine intervention. He also recognized that the influence of immoral people could affect his true servants or, at the very least, diminish their belief that the sanctification of God’s name is on the horizon. It would be quite regrettable to lose one's resolve in these final days! This is why today's text is such a much-needed reminder!!!!   While we understand from the Bible that Jehovah God will act at the appropriate time, we must pay attention to an additional warning from Peter. “Having this advance knowledge, be on your guard that you may not be led away with them by the error of the law-defying people and fall from your own steadfastness.”—2 Peter 3:17.
