SATURDAY JUNE 9TH, 2018.

Keep looking, keep awake, for you do not know when the appointed time is.​—Mark 13:33.

As Jehovah’s Witnesses, we take seriously Jesus’ warning. We know that we are living deep in “the time of the end” and that there cannot be much time left before the “great tribulation” begins! (Daniel 12:4; Matthew 24:21) We see distressing wars, increasing immorality and lawlessness, religious confusion, food shortages, pestilences, and earthquakes taking place around the world. We know that a phenomenal Kingdom-preaching work is being accomplished by Jehovah’s people everywhere. (Matthew 24:7, 11, 12, 14; Luke 21:11) We eagerly anticipate what the Lord’s coming will mean for us and for the accomplishment of God’s purpose. (Mark 13:26, 27) However, try as hard as we might, we cannot pinpoint the exact year, much less day and hour, when the great tribulation will begin.

I have found David the son of Jesse a man agreeable to my heart.​—Acts 13:22.

David was loved by Jehovah, who found him to be a man “agreeable to his heart.” (1 Samuel 13:13, 14) But David later committed adultery with Bath-sheba, and she became pregnant. That occurred while her husband, Uriah, was away serving in the army. When he came home temporarily, David tried to get him to have sexual relations with Bath-sheba so that it might appear that Uriah was the child’s father. Uriah would not do what the king suggested, so David arranged to have him killed in battle. David paid dearly for his crime​—calamities came upon him and his household. (2 Samuel 12:9-12) Yet, God showed mercy to this man who overall walked before Jehovah “with integrity of heart.” (1 Kings 9:4) If you had lived among God’s people back then, how would you have reacted? Would David’s wrong conduct have stumbled you?

Whoever will humble himself like this young child is the one who is the greatest in the Kingdom of the heavens.​—Matthew 18:4.

Most young children are eager to learn, and they tend to be humble. (Matthew 18:1-3) Accordingly, wise parents can strive to inculcate knowledge of the truth and love for it in the minds and hearts of their little ones. (2 Timothy 3:14, 15) Of course, to succeed, the parents must first impress the truth on their own hearts, making the truth their way of life. When parents do this, their children not only hear the truth but also experience it. Moreover, they learn to view parental discipline as an expression of love that reflects Jehovah’s love. When we humbly submit to Jehovah and make such submission our way of life, he will view us as very precious, just as he did the prophet Daniel. (Daniel 10:11, 19) What is more, Jehovah will continue to mold us by means of his Word, spirit, and organization.

WEDNESDAY JUNE 6TH, 2018.

Those whom Jehovah loves he disciplines, in fact, he scourges everyone whom he receives as a son.​—Hebrews 12:6.

You may have heard someone say something like this, ‘I never fully appreciated the discipline that I received from my parents until I had children of my own.’ When we gain more experience in life, we may see discipline in a new light and start to view it as Jehovah does, as a manifestation of love. (Hebrews 12:5, 11) Yes, out of love for his children, Jehovah patiently molds us. He wants us to be wise and happy and to love him in return. (Proverbs 23:15) He takes no pleasure in our suffering; nor does he want us to die as “children of wrath,” which is the prospect inherited from Adam. (Ephesians 2:2, 3) As “children of wrath,” we once displayed many qualities that displease God, perhaps even some beastlike traits! Yet, thanks to Jehovah’s molding, we changed; we became more like lambs.​

TUESDAY JUNE 5TH, 2018.

I have the desire to do what is fine but not the ability to carry it out.​—Romans 7:18.

Many of us had to make significant changes prior to our baptism in order to bring our life into harmony with the Bible’s basic requirements. After baptism, we discerned the need to continue making changes​—more subtle ones—​so as to imitate God and Christ more closely. (Ephesians 5:1, 2; 1 Peter 2:21) For instance, we may have noted in ourselves a critical spirit, a fear of man, a tendency toward harmful gossip, or some other weakness. Has making progress in this regard proved to be harder than we expected? Remember, we are still imperfect. (Colossians 3:9, 10) It is therefore unrealistic to expect that after baptism​—or even after many years in the truth—​we will no longer make mistakes, experience setbacks, or be troubled with wrong motives and inclinations. Certain tendencies might persist for years.​

MONDAY JUNE 4TH, 2018.

A man prone to anger stirs up strife; anyone disposed to rage commits many transgressions.​—Proverbs 29:22.

The world abounds with people and societies motivated by a spirit of independence that fosters pride, egotism, and rivalry. Anyone who allows himself to be swept along by this spirit is, in effect, accepting Satan’s argument that it is the course of wisdom to pursue one’s own interests regardless of how doing so may affect others. (Genesis 3:1-5) Such a selfish course leads to strife. In contrast, Jesus taught people to seek peace, even if such a course would seem detrimental to their own interests. In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gave excellent advice about handling disagreements or potential conflicts. For instance, he urged his disciples to be mild-tempered, to be peacemakers, to eliminate causes for anger, to settle matters quickly, and to love their enemies.​

SUNDAY JUNE 3RD, 2018.

Make disciples of people of all the nations.​—Matthew 28:19.

Jesus described the scope of the preaching work by saying that the good news would be preached “in all the inhabited earth.” (Matthew 24:14) Disciples are to be made “of people of all the nations.” That entails a global work. To understand how Jehovah’s Witnesses have fulfilled Jesus’ prophecy with regard to the scope of the preaching work, let us consider some facts. There are approximately 600,000 members of the clergy in the various denominations in the United States, where there are some 1,200,000 Witnesses of Jehovah. Worldwide, the Roman Catholic Church has a little over 400,000 priests. Now consider the number of Witnesses involved in the Bible-based Kingdom-preaching work. Worldwide, some eight million volunteer ministers preach to people in 240 lands. What an amazing work is being accomplished, all to Jehovah’s praise and glory!​

SATURDAY JUNE 2ND, 2018.

Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations.​—Revelation 2:7.

Jesus leads the Christian congregation by means of holy spirit. We need holy spirit to help us resist temptation, to embolden and equip us for the ministry, and to enable us to make sound decisions. Should we not take advantage of every provision​—including congregation meetings—​to receive that spirit? At many of our meetings, we review the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. As a result, we reinforce our conviction that Jehovah’s promises for the future will likewise be fulfilled. Of course, it is not just those who speak from the platform who encourage us. Fellow Christians who offer comments and sing from the heart also build us up. (1 Corinthians 14:26) And when we converse with our brothers and sisters before and after the meetings, we feel a sense of belonging and enjoy true refreshment.​

FRIDAY JUNE 1ST, 2018.

I will offer that one up as a burnt offering.​—Judges 11:31.

Jephthah had no other child; his daughter was his only hope for a descendant, someone to carry on his name and his inheritance in Israel. (Judges 11:34) Nevertheless, Judges 11:35 concludes with Jephthah saying: “I have opened my mouth to Jehovah, and I am unable to turn back.” His faithfulness even at great personal cost brought him God’s approval and blessing. Would you have made the same choice? When we dedicated our lives to Jehovah, we vowed that we would do his will unreservedly. We knew that living up to that promise would require self-sacrifice. However, our willingness is especially put to the test when we are asked to do things that are not initially to our liking. When we make such sacrifices and serve God in a way that takes us out of our comfort zone, we prove ourselves faithful. The resulting blessings are always far greater than any sacrifices we may make, painful as they may be.​
