Do you want to read an encouraging scripture for the day?

Question

I'm hoping this doesn't draw any negative comments, so if you don't like it, you don't have to comment. This comes from "Examining the Scriptures Daily 2006" published by Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania.

"Let us not give up in doing what is fine, for in due season we shall reap if we do not tire out."-Galations 6:9

Many believe that vigorous physical activity on a regular basis can alleviate tiredness. Similarly, regular spiritual activities can help relieve any feelings of emotional or spiritual exhaustion. The expression "doing what is fine" implies action on our part. Doing good things for others can indeed help prevent us from tiring out in our service to Jehovah. In contrast, association and activities with people who disregard God's laws can become a tiring burden. The bible warns us: "The heaviness of a stone and a load of sand-but the vexation by someone foolish is heavier than both of them." (Proverbs 27:3)

(continued)

To fight off feelings of discouragement and tiredness, we do well to avoid the company of those who dwell on negative thoughts and are prone to find fault and criticize others. (Watchtower 8/15/04 page 19,20b)

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses work hard to share encouraging bible messages with their neighbors. It's interesting that only Jehovah's Witnesses are so clearly identified with the preaching work; globally more than 6 million preach publicly each month.

(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you.

(Acts 5:42) Every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.


It's sad when someone who claims to respect the bible actually insults a peaceful preacher. Sad but completely expected.

(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching... You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.


Really, if someone goes out of their way to disregard Christian preachers and preaching, what is he saying about himself?

(Luke 10:1-17) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos... “He that listens to you listens to me too. And he that disregards you disregards me too. Moreover, he that disregards me disregards also him that sent me forth.”

Thanks for that enlightening scripture verse, I will keep that in mind while I am going through my day. Food for thought - it is by grace of God that you are saved and not by your good works.
