| May 16-May 22 Our Christian Life And Ministry (Midweek) Meeting Answers: Spiritual Gems |
We will be discussing this week the second book of Samuel. How was your Bible reading? The video at the start of every chapter helps us to have a summary of what it contains. Do not forget to watch it, brothers and sisters. Have you seen a "bow"? Jonathan gave it to David along with the belt, his garments, and sword. So what do we learn from "the bow"? Two things: respect for authority in the congregation and loyalty to our Christian friends. Jehovah God wants us to be respectful in all aspects of our life.
As I read these three chapters, here are the gems that I like the most.
- Christian sisters will learn from 2 Samuel 1:24 about dressing moderately and modestly. Just as she should not attract undue attention by wearing gaudy or flashy jewelry, so she should be careful that her use of cosmetics is not unduly obvious. Just like the ancient servants of Jehovah.
- 2 Samuel 3:3 emphasizes the importance of marrying only in the Lord. Like what we have known, David had six wives and one of those was Michal, King Saul's daughter. Before marriage alliances were sometimes arranged but now we are free to choose to whom we will get married. Let us heed Jehovah's law about this to avoid the lasting bad consequences of disobedience.
Knowledge is nothing when we do not apply it in our lives. Be obedient and be blessed!
