The solid foundation of God remains standing.—2 Tim. 2:19.
What is significant about Paul’s word choice in this scripture? This is the only mention in the Bible of “the solid foundation of God.” The Bible uses the word “foundation” as a metaphor for various things, including literal Jerusalem as the capital of ancient Israel. (Ps. 87:1, 2) The role that Jesus plays in Jehovah’s purpose is also compared to a foundation. (1 Cor. 3:11; 1 Pet. 2:6) What did Paul have in mind when he wrote about “the solid foundation of God”? Paul mentions it in the same context in which he quotes Moses’ words about Korah and his supporters, recorded at Numbers 16:5. Paul was evidently referring to the events in Moses’ day in an effort to encourage Timothy and remind him of Jehovah’s ability to detect and counteract rebellious acts. Jehovah’s purpose was not about to be thwarted by brothers in the congregation any more than it was by Korah centuries before.—Num. 16:35. w14 7/15 1:2, 4-6

He reasoned with them from the Scriptures.—Acts 17:2.
In our ministry, we may meet someone who believes that Jesus is equal to God. What scriptures could we use to reason on the matter? We might invite the person to read John 6:38, where Jesus is quoted as saying: “I have come down from heaven to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.” Then, we could ask the person: “If Jesus is God, who sent him down from heaven? Would that One not be greater than Jesus? After all, the sender is superior to the one who is sent.” Along similar lines, we could read Philippians 2:9, which says: “God exalted him [Jesus] to a superior position.” We might then ask: “If Jesus was equal to God before he died and God later exalted him to a higher position, would that not put Jesus above God? Yet, how could anyone become superior to God?” If the person respects God’s Word and is honesthearted, such reasoning may move him to examine the subject further.—Acts 17:11. w14 5/15 1:7-9

I really love the pictures as well!! Thank you so very much.

By faith Moses, when grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.—Heb. 11:24.
Moses’ faith shaped his choice of career. He did not reason that he could serve God as a member of the royal court and then use his wealth and privilege to help his Israelite brothers. Rather, Moses was determined to love Jehovah with all his heart, soul, and strength. (Deut. 6:5) Moses’ decision saved him much heartache. Many of the treasures of Egypt that he gave up were soon plundered—by the Israelites themselves! (Ex. 12:35, 36) Pharaoh was humiliated and executed. (Ps. 136:15) Conversely, Moses was spared and was used by God to lead an entire nation to safety. His life had real meaning. If you are a young servant of Jehovah, choose a career that will enable you to love Jehovah and serve him “with all your heart and all your soul.” You can be confident that such a course will be “for your own good.”—Deut. 10:12, 13. w14 4/15 1:6-8

When Michael the archangel had a difference with the Devil and was disputing about Moses’ body, he did not dare to bring a judgment against him in abusive terms.—Jude 9.
As Michael the archangel, Jesus “had a difference with the Devil” and “was disputing” with that wicked one. The issue involved “Moses’ body.” Recall that after Moses died, Jehovah buried the body in an unknown location. (Deut. 34:5, 6) Whatever evil purpose the Devil had in mind for Moses’ remains, Michael took a courageous stand. One reference work notes that the Greek terms rendered “had a difference” and “disputing” are “also used in relation to a legal dispute” and may suggest “that Michael ‘challenged the Devil’s right’ to take Moses’ body.” Yet, the Chief Angel recognized that it was not his place to bring judgment. Rather, he referred the case to the Supreme Judge, Jehovah. Michael thus refrained from overstepping his authority. What a humble attitude! w15 2/15 1:6

PS. But  we  can  see  her  in  the  *NW*  -  healthy,  smiling,  laughing  and  happy  ;o)   JEHOVAH  CAN  MAKE  THAT !

Phelicity and her mother Veronica, who is in the U.S. while her daughter receives treatment.
Phelicity's last, potentially life-saving operation in the U.S. was not successful, but she remains positive
'Our little darling's journey is coming to an end': The heartbreaking story of a young girl's dying wish to return home to Australia from an intensive care unit in the U.S.
    Phelicity Sneesby, 13, is in the U.S., dying from a congenital heart disease
    But the Ballina, NSW teen wants to come home to be with her family
    She was in the U.S. for potentially life-saving, but unsuccessful treatment
    A special flight home will cost US$150,000, which her parents don't have
    But kind strangers have raised more than the required money.
A dying 13-year-old's 'final wish' is nothing more than to return to her home from the hospital where she is being treated.
But for Phelicity Sneesby, who is suffering from a congenital heart defect, getting home is easier said than done - she is being treated at a specialist unit in the U.S., and home is Ballina, in New South Wales.
Phelicity, whose father Ben says 'knows she is probably coming home to die', just wants to swim in a pool with her sisters and have a meal with her family, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.    ;-))  
But until thousands of generous strangers stepped in, the US$150,000 cost of a special medical flight home looked unmanageable for the family.
She and her family have been travelling back and forth between NSW and the U.S. for most of her life so she could have the best treatment for hypoplastic left heart syndrome, which she was born with.
It affects blood flow, meaning she essentially only has half a heart.
The teen, who has had 28 operations so far, has also developed a condition that depletes protein from her intestines and affects her immune system - meaning she has little time left.
Her latest trip to the U.S. was for potentially life-saving surgery, but to no avail.
Her dad, Ben, has already returned home to Australia in a bid to return to work and help the family pay its bills.
Her mother, Veronica, stayed by Phelicity's bedside in the cardiac intensive care unit at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Ohio.
She wrote on the Go Fund Me page to tell the more than 2,600 people who had donated that 'You are all making me cry right now....thank you'.
Once they get her back to Australia, they intend to admit her to hospital in Brisbane, hoping she will get better, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
If her condition does not improve, however, they will bring her home again.
'You can't live like that,' Mr Sneesby said.
But the family remains positive.
Her father told the Sydney Morning Herald that despite it all, she was 'one of the most positive people' he had ever met'.
'Our little darling's journey is coming to an end,' he wrote on his Facebook page on Thursday.
'For years we have done everything possible to keep her alive, but there is nothing left to do.'
Getting Phelicity home was not so easy, as she required a special medical flight worth US$150,000 (about AU$212,00) -money her family does not have.
Mr Sneesby said the family was 'mortgaged up to the hilt', the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
But a Go Fund Me campaign was set up by a family friend on Tuesday.
In what is perhaps a silver lining in an otherwise sad story, in less than five days, the campaign raised more than the required amount.
That means Phelicity should be able to come home !
 
I  SO  WISHED,  A  NEW  HEART  WERE  A  SOLUTION....  BUT  ALL  SEEMS  MORE  DIFFICULT  :-((
I  not  wanted  post  the  sad  pic's  of  her  in  Hospital !

Thank you. I really appreciate the love that Jehovah has for me, my family and all my Brothers and Sister.

I just want to say may Jehovah bless you for your efforts.  Thank you. Agape!

I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who imparted power to me, because he considered me faithful by assigning me to a ministry, although formerly I was a blasphemer.—1 Tim. 1:12, 13.
How can we imitate Paul’s fine example in cultivating and expressing gratitude? Like Paul, we need to meditate on what Jehovah has done for us personally. (Ps. 116:12) If you were asked, ‘What blessings from Jehovah are you grateful for?’ how would you answer? Would you include your precious relationship with Jehovah? Or the forgiveness that you receive because of your faith in Christ’s ransom sacrifice? Would you relate the names of brothers and sisters who have stood by you during various difficult trials? Of course, your beloved marriage mate or your precious children would not escape your mention. Taking time to meditate on such beautiful blessings from your loving Father, Jehovah, will fill your heart with gratitude and will move you to give thanks every day.—Ps. 92:1, 2. w15 1/15 1:5, 6
