"Pay attention to wisdom with your ear, that you may incline your heart to discernment."—Prov. 2:2. ??????? "By making your ear attentive to wisdom, And inclining your heart to discernment." Prov. 2:2 At the start of SolomonÂ’s kingship, God appeared to him in a dream and invited him to make a request. Aware of his limited experience, Solomon requested wisdom. (1 Ki. 3:5-9) Pleased that the king asked for wisdom rather than for riches and glory, God gave Solomon “a wise and understanding heart”—as well as prosperity. (1 Ki. 3:10-14) We personally do not expect to receive wisdom miraculously. Solomon said that “Jehovah himself gives wis…

King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba - Amazed at His Wisdom. Knowledge! - A Gift from Jehovah! ~ ?????????? (Sol?o·mon) [from a root meaning “peace”] (1 Kings 10:1-25) . . .Now the queen of She?ba was hearing the report about Sol?o·mon in connection with the name of Jehovah. So she came to test him with perplexing questions. 2 Finally she arrived at Jerusalem with a very impressive train, camels carrying balsam oil and very much gold and precious stones; and she came on in to Sol?o·mon and began to speak to him all that happened to be close to her heart. 3 Sol?o·mon, in turn, went on to tell her all her matters. There proved to be no matter hid…

"Who of you that wants to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense, to see if he has enough to complete it?"—(Luke 14:28) ??????? "For example, who of you wanting to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense to see if he has enough to complete it?"

Our Creator Jehovah God made all creatures great and small. Genesis 1:20-22. - 20 Then God said: “Let the waters swarm with living creatures, and let flying creatures fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 And God created the great sea creatures* and all living creatures that move and swarm in the waters according to their kinds and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 With that God blessed them, saying: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the waters of the sea, and let the flying creatures become many in the earth.” Blessings Continue! ????? This is a Saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica), a…

Give Comfort to Those Who Grieve - Their Cry He Will Hear! ~ ???????? (Psalm 145:19) "The desire of those fearing him he will perform, And their cry for help he will hear, and he will save them." (Psalm) 145:19) "He satisfies the desire of those who fear him; He hears their cry for help, and he rescues them." With the Comfort God Gives When we seek to comfort others, words of sympathy are certainly in order. We endeavor to convey to the grieving person by word and tone of voice that we deeply care about his situation. This is not accomplished by the use of hollow platitudes. The Bible tells us that “through our endurance and through the comfort…

Our Creator will Save Us! – ???????? "Every breathing thing—let it praise Jah. Praise Jah!" (Psalms 150:6) What Some Predict Many believe that human activities are a major cause of global warming, which may have catastrophic consequences for the climate and the environment. For example, large-scale melting of land-based ice and the expansion of the oceans as water warms could cause sea levels to rise drastically. At the same time, rising temperatures could intensify storms, floods, and droughts. In the Himalayas, disappearing glaciers—from areas that feed seven river systems—could cause shortages of freshwater for 40 percent of the worldÂ’…

Referring to those cities that would not listen to the message, Jesus said that on the Day of Judgment he would be more bearable to Sodom and Gomorrah than to them - Matt. 10:14, 15; Matthew 11: 20-24 Before saying that he used a hyperbole, we would think about another writing. Matthew 12:36 says, "I tell you that any unprofitable word that men will say will account in the Day of Judgment." If we only read what has been written without seeking articulated interpretations, it is well understood that "they have said" is in the past, referring of course to what has been said in this life and not what they could have said in the future (in fact, Jesus he is condemning the Ph…

Awake! | August 2014 HELP FOR THE FAMILY | PARENTING How to Say NO ! THE CHALLENGE Your child simply will not take no for an answer. Whenever you say the word, his * unruly response tests your patience to the limit. Nothing you do or say calms him, and eventually you feel that you have no choice but to give in. Once again, your resolute no turns into an exasperated, reluctant yes. You can stop that tiresome pattern. First, though, consider some factors about saying no. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW Be reasonable. Do not say no just to flex your parental muscle. Instead, “let your reasonableness become known.” (Philippians 4:5) There are ti…

1 Corinthians 15, 42-5 42 fSo is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. 43 It is sown in dishonor; git is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 Thus it is written, h“The first man Adam became a living being”;5 ithe last Adam became a jlife-giving spirit. 46 But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. 47 kThe first man was from the earth, la man of dust; mthe second man is from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are …

Awake! | No. 2 2017 WAS IT DESIGNED? The Landing Strategy of the Honeybee..... HONEYBEES can safely land at virtually any angle without problems. How do they do it? Consider: A safe landing requires that the honeybee reduce its approach speed to nearly zero before contact. One logical way to do this would be to measure two factors—flight speed and the distance to the target—and then reduce speed accordingly. However, that method would be difficult for most insects because they have close-set, fixed-focus eyes that cannot directly measure distance. The vision of honeybees is very different from that of humans who use binocular vision. Honeybees se…

Looking Forward To Paradise - ????? - An Earth-Wide Paradise Ahead! - Try to imagine what life will be like in Paradise on earth. (Read Psalm 72:5-9.) Worshippers of the only true God will be able to enjoy life in Paradise for as long as the sun and the moon exist—yes, forever! The King Jesus Christ will prove to be refreshing, ‘like rain upon mown grass and copious showers that wet the earth.Â’ As you envision the fulfillment of this psalm, is not your heart stirred by the hope of living forever in an earthly paradise? Surely the impaled evildoer was thrilled when Jesus told him: “You will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43) During JesusÂ’ Thousand…

David Thomas

POP REVIEW; Pere Ubu and the Many Faces of Rock David Thomas, who performed with his band Pere Ubu on Sunday night at Wetlands, is one of rock's most eccentric figures. With a black overcoat, top hat, goatee and some 300 pounds of body weight, he looked like a collection agent for a loan shark. But in reality he is a Jehovah's Witness, with a legendary underground band that has been playing neurotically intellectual art-rock for 20 years. "Make me feel weird," Mr. Thomas instructed the band near the beginning of his set, outlining the principle that has kept Pere Ubu on the fringes of popular music for so long. The group obeyed, taking Midwestern garage-rock and ov…

Supply to Your Knowledge Self-Control ???????? “Supply . . . to your knowledge self-control.”—2 PETER 1:5-8. Self-control, which includes the ability to say no, is mentioned at 2 Peter 1:5-7 along with faith, virtue, knowledge, endurance, godly devotion, brotherly affection, and love. None of these other desirable qualities are wholly inborn. They must be cultivated. To manifest them in significant measure requires determination and effort. So should we expect self-control to be any easier? rue, millions of people may feel that they have no problem with self-control. They go about life doing as they please, knowingly or unknowingly co…

August Ludwig von Schlözer “Foolish is the man who never reads a newspaper; even more foolish is the man who believes what he reads just because it is in the newspaper.”—August von Schlözer, German historian and journalist of the late 18th century.  IN ONE survey several thousand people in Britain and France were asked how much trust they placed in each of 13 institutions. The press came in last, even after politics and big business. In the United States, most readers still say they believe their newspaper. But surveys by the Pew Research Center show that the percentage of believers has declined. There is often justification for skepticism, espe…

Spirituality is a large part of my life so it applies to everything I do. This is why IÂ’ve choose not to use certain offensive language in my music over the years.

William de vaughn- be thankful for what you got
by Guest Kurt- 0 replies
- 663 views
Washington, D.C.-born William DeVaughn is one of those forever fascinating yet peripheral figures in soul music. With only three albums to his name, his devout alignment with the Jehovah’s Witnesses meant he only recorded sporadically. DeVaughn is known primarily for his greatest hit, the sublime, shining, Be Thankful for What You Got. Originally released in 1974, it sounded like a great, lost Curtis Mayfield track, with its positive Civil Rights-influenced message. It became an underground smash and eventually broke through, becoming a US R&B No.1, selling two million copies. When DeVaughn returned to recording six years later, he updated Be Thankful for What You…
