Let's Examine the Scriptures Every Day 2022

Thursday June 16, 2022

If you seek Jehovah, he will let you find him (2 Chron. 15:2).

Let's ask ourselves, "Do I make an effort to go to all the meetings?" In them we receive the necessary encouragement to continue serving Jehovah and we enjoy the company of our brothers (Matt. 11:28). We might also ask ourselves, "Do I have a good personal study?" If we live with our family, do we have family worship every week? Or, if we live alone, do we set aside time to study, just like families do? Do we go out of our way to preach and teach others? Why should we ask ourselves these questions? The Bible says that Jehovah examines our thoughts and what is in our hearts. So we should too (1 Chron. 28:9). If we find that we need to change our goals, our attitude, or our way of thinking, ask Jehovah for help. The time to prepare for the tests that are to come is now. w20.09 19 paras. 19, 20

What have some publishers done to preach to as many people as possible?

Many publishers have learned another language to preach and teach others. To support them, Jehovah's organization produces Bible information in more and more languages. For example, in 2010 there were publications in about 500 languages. But now we have already exceeded 1,000.

How do people feel when they hear the Kingdom message in their native language? Give an example.

How do people feel when they hear about Jehovah in their native language? Let us consider the following experience. A sister attended an assembly in Memphis, Tennessee, United States, in her native language, Kinyarwanda, which is spoken primarily in Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uganda. After the assembly, she said, “I have been in the United States for seventeen years, and this is the first time I fully understand a spiritual program.” It is clear that hearing the information in her language had touched his heart. If our circumstances allow us, why don't we learn another language to help some people in the territory? Have we thought that they might respond better if we preach to them in their language? Without a doubt, the effort is worth it.

How did our brothers in Russia take advantage of a period of peace?

Not all our brothers can preach freely, because in some places the governments have restricted our work. Without going any further, let us think of our brothers in Russia. After decades of persecution, in March 1991 the work was legalized there. At that time, there were about sixteen thousand publishers. Twenty years later, there were more than a hundred and sixty thousand. It is clear that our brothers used the time well. And, although the peace did not last, they continue to serve Jehovah with enthusiasm and do their best despite the circumstances.
