Let's Examine the Scriptures Every Day 2022

What instructor is like God? (Job 36:22).
The holy spirit will help us put into practice what we read and study in God's Word. Let us ask Jehovah the same as the psalmist: “O Jehovah, teach me your way. I will walk in your truth. Unify my heart to fear your name” (Ps. 86:11). So let us continue to take advantage of the spiritual food that Jehovah gives us through his Word and his organization. Of course, we do not want to limit ourselves to acquiring knowledge. Let us engrave the truth in our hearts and put it into practice in our lives. Jehovah's spirit will help us to do so. Let us also encourage our brothers, for they are our spiritual family (Heb. 10:24, 25). Pray that God's spirit will help us give heartfelt feedback in meetings and do our best when assigned a part of the program. If we do all this, we will show Jehovah and his Son that we love their precious sheep.—John 21:15-17. Therefore, let us listen to our Great Instructor, making the most of the spiritual banquet that he offers us. w20.10 24-25 paras. 15-17
What methods has Jehovah's organization used to spread the good news?
To spread the good news, Jehovah's organization has used and continues to use the best tools available. Among these we can mention printed publications, the “Photo-Drama of Creation”, gramophones, loudspeaker cars, radio programs and, more recently, digital technology. Also, no one in history has translated into as many languages as God's organization does. And why do we do it? For all kinds of people to hear the good news in their own language. Jehovah is impartial and foretold that the good news would be told “to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people” (Rev. 14:6, 7). He wants the Kingdom message to be available to all people.
And what about the people who are hard to reach, perhaps because they live in high-security buildings? To reach them, Jehovah helped his organization to begin testing various methods of public preaching. For example, in 2001 the Governing Body approved the use of carts and other displays in France, and later in other places as well. The results were positive. In 2011, a pilot program was launched in one of the busiest areas of New York City (United States). In the first year, 102,129 books and 68,911 magazines were left with people, and 4,701 people requested a Bible course. It was clear that the holy spirit supported this work. For this reason, the Governing Body has approved the use of publication racks throughout the world.
What can we do to improve in our Christian ministry?
What we can do. Let us make the most of the training that Jehovah gives us in the meetings. Let's go out regularly with our preaching group. If there is any aspect in which we need to improve, the brothers in the group can help us and encourage us with their excellent example. Let's keep preaching despite the difficulties. As the theme text of this article reminds us, we do God's will with the help of the holy spirit, not with our own strength (Zech. 4:6). After all, this is the work of God.
