#DTK JWs "' You are the light of the world.'—Matt. 5:14.
Jesus told his disciples that they were “the light of the world” and urged them to let their light shine so that people might see their “fine works,” or good deeds to others. This would result in spiritual illumination “before men,” or for the benefit of mankind. (Matt. 5:16) Today, we let our light shine by doing good to our neighbors and by sharing in the work of preaching the good news “in all the world,” that is, “in all the nations.” (Matt. 26:13; Mark 13:10) What a privilege we enjoy! Jesus did not want his disciples to hide their spiritual light under a figurative measuring basket. (Matt. 5:15) So we must let our light shine, never permitting opposition or persecution to make us hide Scriptural truth or keep it to ourselves. w08 5/15 1:12, 14"

Jah will "make us stand", not let us be tempted beyond what we can bear
(Romans 14:4) . . .Indeed, he will be made to stand, for Jehovah can make him stand.
(1 Corinthians 10:13) No temptation has taken YOU except what is common to men. But God is faithful, and he will not let YOU be tempted beyond what YOU can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make the way out in order for YOU to be able to endure it.

Day 118 - endure till the end
#DTK JWs "'He that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved.'—Matt. 10:22.
Pursuing the goal of everlasting life requires endurance. Jesus showed how his disciples could get the needed strength to endure. In one illustration, he likened rocky soil to individuals who “receive [God’s] word with joy” but fall away when faced with tests of faith. However, he likened his faithful followers to fine soil in that they “retain” the word of God and “bear fruit with endurance.” (Luke 8:13, 15) Did you notice the secret to endurance? We must “retain” God’s word, keeping it alive in our hearts and minds. Our meditating on a portion of God’s Word every day will help us to find the needed strength to keep on bearing fruit “with endurance.”—Ps. 1:1, 2. w08 6/15 2:14-16

keep on seeking first the Kingdom
#DTK JWs "'Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and [God’s] righteousness.'—Matt. 6:33.
Jesus assures us that if we do this, the things we really need will be added to us. How can we show that we believe this promise? One way is to abide by God’s standard of what is right as regards financial matters. For instance, we refuse to falsify our tax returns or to tell even “little” lies in our business dealings. We do all within our power to honor our financial commitments, letting our “Yes mean Yes” when it comes to paying off debts. (Matt. 5:37; Ps. 37:21) Such honesty may not make a person rich, but it brings God’s approval, produces a clean conscience, and greatly reduces anxiety. Seeking first the Kingdom involves having our priorities in order, so that possessions and pleasure are not our masters, but are tools that help us worship Jehovah. And the more active we are in work that supports God’s Kingdom, the less likely we are to be overcome by the spirit of the world. w08 9/15 4:17, 18

A JW WORKING AT WENDYS
A sister worked at Wendy's as an assistant manager. One day as she was
working at the counter, a priest came in and she took his order. When
the order was ready she told him, "that will be $3.79 please, sir."
He said, "What?"
She repeated, "That will be $3.79 please, sir"
He said 'You're mistaken! It's Father.'
She told him, I'm sorry, my father is working today.'
He said "You're supposed to call me 'Father'."
She told him "The Bible says to call no man 'Father'."
He exclaimed, "These Jehovah's Witnesses are everywhere!" and left without
his order.
The next day he returned and asked for her. The manager informed her that a
priest was there to see her. She wondered what he wanted.
When she went out, he asked "Do you remember Me?"
"Yes, you forgot your order." She replied.
He said 'Never mind that. What I wanted was to know where the Bible
says to call no man Father.'
"You're asking me?!" the sister asked. She then showed him
Matthew 23:9 in the Bible he had brought.
He said, "I never knew that. Why do they call me Father?"
They talked a little while and she told him if he would come back, she
would give him a 'Knowledge' book.
He came back on a Wednesday and she gave him the book.
They talked a little while reading the book and having coffee.
Thursday he came back to return the book.
On Friday he came in about 2:30 p.m. and asked her "Guess who came to my
house this morning at 10:30?"
When she said she did not know, he told
her 'Jehovah's Witnesses.' He had thought she had sent them but she did
not know where he lived. They had just been going from house to house.
He told her 'I started a Bible Study.' He felt what they said made sense and
he had been thinking about the things she had been teaching which were
scriptural.
A few months went by and one day he came in to see her.
'What's new?' she asked.
'I got baptized a week ago. You can now call me brother.'
He was on his way back home to Italy after spending a year in Canada.
His family is now studying.
Don't hold back from Matthew 24:14. Enjoy a new day serving Jehovah.
