“People say that “Actions speak louder than words” but sometimes we still have to hear the words and see the Actions at the same time, because words without actions are empty, actions without words are confusing.

We received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God.- 1  Cor. 2:12

Many of the people we come in contact with are “lovers of themselves,” “haughty,”  and even “fierce.” It is very easy for bad characteristics like these to rub off on us and anger us. (2 Tim. 3:2-5) In fact, movies and TV programs often portray vengeance as noble and violence as a natural and justifiable solution to problems. Typical story lines lead viewers to look forward to the moment when the villain “gets what he deserves”- usually a violent end at the hands of  story’s hero. Such propaganda promotes, not God’s ways, but “the spirit of the world” and of its angry ruler, Satan. (Eph. 2:2; Rev. 12:12) That spirit caters to the imperfect flesh and is in total opposition to  God’s holy spirit and its fruitage. Indeed, a fundamental teaching of Christianity is not to retaliate under provocation. – Matt. 5:39,44, 45. w10 6/15 3:5,6

Whoever will humble himself (or, “whoever makes himself small,”  ”Byington”) like this young child is the one that is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens.- Matthew 18:4

The disciples have just argued about who is the greatest. So Jesus calls a young child to stand in their midst and says the words above. (Matthew 18:1-3) Instead of thinking like the world, which measures a person by his power, wealth, and position, the disciples needed to understand that their greatness depended on ‘making themselves small’ in the eyes of others. Jehovah would bless them and use them only if they showed true humility. To this day, many in the world dedicate their lives to the puirsuit of power, wealth and position. As a result, they have little or no time for spiritual interests. (Matthew 13:22) In contrast, Jehovah’s people are happy to ‘make themselves small’ in the eyes of others in order to win the blessing and approval of the Master of the harvest.- Matthew 6:24; 2 Cor. 11:7; Phil.3:8. w10 7/15 3:4,5

Not one of mankind can get (the tongue) tamed. – James 3:8

What can help us to bridle this body member that is so difficult to control?  Jesus’ words to the religious leaders of his day give us insight. he said: “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”. (Matthew 12:34) To have loving-kindness safeguard our tongue, we need to implant that quality in our heart- our inner person. Although reflecting loving-kindness in our speech is by no means easy, meditation and prayer help us to do just that. Jehovah God is “abundant in loving-kindness” states the Bible.  (Exodus 34:6) “Your loving-kindness, O Jehovah,” sang the psalmist, “has filled the earth.” (Psalms 119:64) The Scriptures contain numerous accounts of how Jehovah showed loving-kindness to his worshipers. Taking time to meditate appreciatively on ‘Jehovah’s dealings’ can still in us the desire to cultivate this godly quality.- Psalms 77:12 w10 8/15 3:5,6

He that is showing favor to the lowly ones is lending to Jehovah, and his treatment He will repay to him.- Proverbs 19:17

How should  the principle found in those words affect us as we endeavor to take the lead in showing honor?(Romans 12:10) Most people manage to show honor to their superiors, but they may treat those whom they consider to be their inferiors with little or no respect. However, Jehovah is not like that. He states: “Those honoring me I shall honor.” (1 Samuel 2:30, Psalms 113: 5-7) Jehovah shows honor to all those who serve and honor him. He does not ignore “the lowly ones.” (Isaiah 57:15; 2 Chronicles 16:9) Of course, we wish to imitate Jehovah. Thus, if we want to measure how we fare in showing genuine honor, we do well to ask ourselves, ‘How do I treat those who have no prominent, or responsible, position in the congregation?’ (John 13:14,15) The answer to that question reveals much about the degree of heartfelt respect we have for others.- Philippians 2:3,4. w10 10/15 3:15,16

The heart of the righteous one meditates so as to answer.- Proverbs 15:28

An important step in resisting peer pressure is preparation. Being prepared means thinking in advance about what situations are likely to arise. sometimes a little forethought can help you to prevent a big confrontation. For example, suppose you see a group of your schoolmates up ahead and they will offer you a cigarette? Anticipating a problem, what can you do? Proverbs 22:3 states: Shrewd is the one that has seen the calamity and proceeds to conceal himself.” By taking a different route, you may be able to avoid the encounter altogether. That is not a matter of being fearful; it is the course of wisdom. If a schoolmate dares you to accept a cigarette from him, you could say, “No thanks” and then add, “I thought you were too smart to smoke!” Rather than your having to explain why you do not smoke, your peer is compelled to think about why he does. w10 11/15 2:11, 14

You will receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon you, and you will be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the most distant part of the earth.- Acts 1:8

Holy spirit empowers us to declare the good news. what else could explain how the good news has been preached earth wide? Think about it. You may be among those who, perhaps because of extreme  shyness or apprehension, once thought, ‘I could never go preaching from house to house!’ Yet, you now have zealous share in that work. Many faithful Witnesses of Jehovah have continued preaching in the face of opposition or persecution. Only God’s holy spirit can empower us to overcome daunting obstacles and to do things that would be impossible in our own strength. (Micah 3:8; Matthew 17:20) By having a full of share in the preaching work, you show that you are cooperating with that spirit. w10 4/15 2:15

There are new heavens and a new earth.-2 Peter 3:13

The “new heavens” is God’s  heavenly Kingdom, which was established in the year 1914. This royal government is made up of Christ Jesus and his 144,000 co-rulers. In the book of Revelation these chosen ones are portrayed as the “holy city, New  Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” (Rev. 21:1,2, 22-24) Just as earthly Jerusalem and her Bridegroom make up the government of the new systems of things. This celestial city will “come down out of heaven” by directing its attention to the earth. The “new earth” refers to the new earthly society of humans who will have demonstrated their willing submission to God’s Kingdom. The spiritual paradise that God’s people enjoy even now will at last be in its rightful setting in that beautiful “inhabited earth to come.”- Heb. 2:5 w10 7:15 1:1o,11

Surely on slippery ground is where you place them. You have made them fall to ruins.- Psalms 73:18

What helped the psalmist overcome his doubts? (Ps. 73: 1-13) Although he admitted nearly turning aside from righteousness, his viewpoint changed when he entered “the grand sanctuary of God”- that is, when he associated with spiritual people in God’s tabernacle or temple and reflected on God’s purpose. Then it became clear to the psalmist that he did not want to share the lot of evildoers. He could see that their course and choices in life put them on ” slippery ground.” All those immorally leaving Jehovah, the psalmist perceived, will inevitably come to their end in “sudden terrors,” whereas those serving Jehovah will be supported by him. (Ps. 73: 16-19, 27,28) No doubt you have seen the truth of that statement. living for self without regard for divine law might seem attractive to many, but the bad consequence of such a course are inescapable.-Gal. 6:7-9
