    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in Behold the Doer of Wonderful Things!   
    “Stand still and show yourself attentive to the wonderful works of God.”—JOB 37:14.
    ???????
    Behold the Doer of Wonderful Things!
    ???????
    David wrote: “Many things you yourself have done, O Jehovah my God, even your wonderful works . . . Were I inclined to tell and speak of them, they have become more numerous than I can recount.” (Psalm 40:5) 
    ???????
    He certainly did not mean, though, that he would keep silent about these grand works. David proved this by his determination expressed at Psalm 9:1: “I will laud you, O Jehovah, with all my heart; I will declare all your wonderful works."

    Bible Speaks got a reaction from Carol Ann Torres in GIVE ATTENTION ??????? TO GOD'S WONDERFUL WORKS!   
    Give Attention to God’s Wonderful Works
    “Many things you yourself have done, O Jehovah my God, even your wonderful works and your thoughts toward us; there is none to be compared to you.”—PSALM 40:5.
    ???????
    WHEN you read the Bible, you can readily see that God did wonderful things for his ancient people, Israel. (Joshua 3:5; Psalm 106:7, 21, 22) 
    ???????
    Even if Jehovah is not presently intervening in that way in human affairs, we find around us abundant proof of his wonderful works. So we have reason to join the psalmist in saying: “How many your works are, O Jehovah! All of them in wisdom you have made. The earth is full of your productions.”—Psalm 104:24; 148:1-5.
    ???????
    Many today ignore or reject such clear evidence of the Creator’s activities. (Romans 1:20) 
    ???????
    We, however, do well to reflect on them and to draw conclusions relative to our position before and duty toward our Maker. Job chapters 38 to 41 are excellent aids in this, for Jehovah there called to Job’s attention certain aspects of His wonderful works.

    Bible Speaks got a reaction from b4ucuhear in Do You Share Jehovah’s Sense of Justice?   
    Do You Share Jehovah’s Sense of Justice?   ⚖️⚖️⚖️ “I will declare the name of Jehovah . . . , a God of faithfulness who is never unjust.”—DEUTERONOMY 32:3, 4.
    ⚖️
    25 "Trembling at men is a snare, But   the one trusting in Jehovah will be protected." (Proverbs 29:25)
    ⚖️
    Humility protects us from losing our faith in Jehovah
    ⚖️
    Clearly, Naboth was obedient to Jehovah
    ⚖️
    TWO bad men accuse a man of a very serious crime. What they say is a lie. But the man is found guilty and is to be executed. Imagine how people who loved justice felt as they watched this innocent man and his sons being stoned to death! This is not just a story. It is what really happened to a faithful servant of Jehovah named Naboth, who lived when King Ahab ruled Israel.—1 Kings 21:11-13; 2 Kings 9:26.
    ⚖️
    Naboth was faithful to Jehovah at a time when most Israelites were following the bad example of King Ahab and his wife, wicked Queen Jezebel. They worshipped the false god Baal and did not respect Jehovah or his laws. But Naboth valued his relationship with Jehovah even more than his own life.
    ⚖️
    Read 1 Kings 21:1-3. When Ahab offered to buy Naboth’s vineyard or to give him a better vineyard in exchange, Naboth refused. 
    ⚖️
    Why? He respectfully explained: “It is unthinkable, from Jehovah’s standpoint, for me to give you the inheritance of my forefathers.” Naboth refused King Ahab’s offer because it was against Jehovah’s law for Israelites to sell their family inheritance permanently. (Leviticus 25:23;Numbers 36:7) 
    ⚖️
    Clearly, Naboth was obedient to Jehovah.
    ⚖️
    When Naboth refused to sell his vineyard, King Ahab and his wife did terrible things. In order to get the vineyard, Queen Jezebel asked two men to accuse Naboth of a crime he had not committed. As a result, both Naboth and his sons were killed. What did Jehovah do about this tragic injustice?
    ⚖️
    Right away Jehovah sent Elijah to confront Ahab. Elijah told Ahab that he was a murderer and a thief. What was Jehovah’s decision? Ahab, his wife, and his sons would be killed, as had been Naboth and his sons.—1 Kings 21:17-25.
    ⚖️
    Naboth’s family and friends grieved over the terrible things Ahab had done. But Jehovah saw the injustice and quickly responded to it. That must have been comforting to them. However, their humility and trust in Jehovah were probably tested by what happened next.
    ⚖️
    When Ahab heard what Jehovah had decided to do to him, “he ripped his garments apart and put sackcloth on his body; and he went on a fast and kept lying down in sackcloth and walking despondently.” Ahab humbled himself! 
    ⚖️
    What was the result? Jehovah told Elijah: “Because he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the calamity during his lifetime. I will bring the calamity upon his house in the days of his son.” (1 Kings 21:27-29; 2 Kings 10:10, 11, 17) 
    ⚖️
    Jehovah, “the examiner of hearts,” the one who can see who we really are, showed mercy to Ahab.—Proverbs 17:3.
    ⚖️
    When Naboth’s family and friends heard that Ahab’s family would not be punished until after Ahab died, that may have tested their faith in God. But humility would have helped them to protect their faith. Why? 
    ⚖️
    If they were humble, they would continue worshipping Jehovah, trusting that it is impossible for God to be unfair. (Read Deuteronomy 32:3, 4.) 
    ⚖️
    In the future, Naboth’s family will experience the blessing of seeing their loved ones in the resurrection. There will be perfect justice for Naboth and his sons. (Job 14:14, 15; John 5:28, 29) 
    ⚖️
    A humble person knows that “the true God will judge every deed, including every hidden thing, as to whether it is good or bad.” (Ecclesiastes 12:14) 
    ⚖️
    Jehovah considers facts that are not known to us. So humility protects us from losing our faith in Jehovah.
    ⚖️

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in Do You Love Money? - Is Money Your Master or Your Servant? ?   
    WISDOM FROM THE BIBLE
    The Bible acknowledges . . .
    “Money is a protection.”—ECCLESIASTES 7:12.
      However, the Bible warns . . .
      “The one hastening to get rich will not remain innocent.”—PROVERBS 28:20.
          “Those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and harmful desires.”—1 TIMOTHY 6:9.
      Therefore, the Bible recommends . . .
         “Let your way of life be free of the love of money.”—HEBREWS 13:5.
            “Guard against every sort of greed, because even when a person has an abundance, his life does not result from the things he possesses.”—LUKE 12:15.
           “Do not forget to do good and to share what you have with others.”—HEBREWS 13:16.
      What are the benefits?
         “There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.”—ACTS 20:35.
            “The generous person will prosper, and whoever refreshes others will himself be refreshed.”—PROVERBS 11:25.

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in Do You Love Money? - Is Money Your Master or Your Servant? ?   
    Do You Love Money? - Is Money Your Master or Your Servant?
    ?
    DO YOU suffer from money sickness syndrome? Reportedly, this condition afflicts a large percentage of the world’s population. What is it?
    ?
    “The love of money is the root of all evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10, King James Version)
    ?
    Some people have indeed developed a fondness for money and have devoted themselves to the accumulation of riches. Some have become slaves of money and have reaped tragic consequences.
    ?
    When managed properly, however, money can be a useful tool. The Bible acknowledges that “money solves a lot of problems.”—Ecclesiastes 10:19, (Holy Bible—Easy-to-Read Version)
    ?
    Although the Bible does not claim to be a financial handbook, it does contain practical advice that can help you to manage money wisely. The following five steps are commonly recommended by financial advisers, and they are consistent with principles recorded in the Bible long ago.
    ?
    What is your attitude toward money? How does the volatile nature of the world’s economy affect you? Is money your master or your servant? Perhaps you do not experience the symptoms of the so-called money sickness syndrome.
    ?
    Still, whether wealthy or poor, we are all vulnerable to the ill effects of money worries. Consider how adjustments in the way you handle your finances may bring you more peace of mind and a happier life.
    ?
    Money may be your master if . . .
    ?□ You avoid discussing finances because of the anxiety it causes
    ?□ Money is often the subject of family squabbles
    ?□ You spend compulsively
    ?□ You worry constantly about bills
    ?□ You are not sure how much you earn
    ?□ You are not sure how much you spend
    ?□ You are not sure how much you owe
    ?□ Your bills are often bigger than what you expect
    ?□ You often pay your bills late
    ?□ You are able to make only the minimum payment on credit card bills
    ?□ You pay your bills with money earmarked for other things
    ?□ You take on extra work just to pay bills
    ?□ You have taken out new loans to pay off old ones
    ?□ You use savings to pay routine bills
    ?□ You find it nearly impossible to get to the end of the month without running out of money
    ?□ You feel pressure to accumulate large sums of money
    ?□ You suffer physical and/or psychological symptoms resulting from money-related stress

    Bible Speaks reacted to Arauna in HOW DO DEMONS TRICK PEOPLE ?   
    The quality of critical thinking is going downhill - it is painful to watch the news these days!  I hope this does not sound high minded or critical but I truly find that once you have been educated by Jehovah, to know the difference between right and wrong and you have a strong sense of justice - what is going on now in the world just boggles the mind! Satan is truly blinding the moral eyes of people!
