day 29: Jehovah will not leave his loyal ones

#DTK "'[Jehovah] will not leave his loyal ones.'—Ps. 37:28.
It is the tenth century B.C.E. and a time of decision. Civil war has narrowly been avoided by granting Israel’s restless northern tribes a measure of independence. Their newly appointed king, Jeroboam, quickly moves to consolidate his power by establishing a new State religion. He demands complete allegiance from his subjects. What will faithful servants of Jehovah do? Will they remain loyal to the God they worship? Thousands do, and Jehovah watches over them as they maintain their integrity. (1 Ki. 12:1-33; 2 Chron. 11:13, 14) The loyalty of God’s servants is being tested in our day too. “Your adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone,” warns the Bible. Can we successfully “take [our] stand against him, solid in the faith”? (1 Pet. 5:8, 9) Jehovah did not leave his loyal ones then, and he will not do so today. w08 8/15 1:1, 2"

day 24: hate what is bad

my son, who is 22, was acting in a highly inappropriate manner, and i was able to offer him wise, Bible-based counsel.
(Psalm 97:10) "O YOU lovers of Jehovah, hate what is bad..."
I didn't berate him or yell - just got him to reason on the way he was acting. : )

day 23: more happiness in giving

i'm sorry you are having such a rough day?is there anything you could do to try to brighten someone else's day? Acts 20:34

(Acts 20:35) . . .must bear in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, when he himself said, ‘There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.’. . .
