​

Do not hold back good from those to whom it is owing,
when it happens to be in the power of your hand to do it.

—Prov. 3:27.


​

Jehovah supports us in our efforts to use our energy and abilities for the Kingdom.
He promises to help us when we tire out. (Isa. 40:29-31)
Do we feel that our skills are inadequate to assist with the work?
Do we reason that there are others who are better qualified?
Remember, Jehovah can enhance anyone’s natural abilities,
just as he did for Bezalel and Oholiab. (Ex. 31:1-6)
Jehovah encourages us to give our best and not hold back.

During the rebuilding of the temple, Jehovah told the Jews in
Jerusalem to meditate on what they were doing in behalf
of the building work. (Hag. 1:2-5) They had become distracted
and had lost their focus.

We do well to consider whether our priorities are aligned with Jehovah’s priorities.
Can we ‘set our heart on our ways’ so as to have a greater
share in the Kingdom work in these last days?

James 2:15-17

"If a brother or sister is in a naked state and lacking the food sufficient for the day, yet a certain one of you says to them: "Go in peace, keep warm and well fed," but you do not give them the necessities for their body, of what benefit is it? Thus, too, faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself."
