Friday, January 9 Make sure of the more important things.—Phil. 1:10. There is something even more important than the personal benefits we receive from our meetings. (Heb. 10:24, 25) The primary purpose of our gathering together is to worship Jehovah. (Ps. 95:6) What a privilege we have to praise our wonderful God! (Col. 3:16) Jehovah deserves our regular worship through our attendance and participation at theocratic gatherings. (Rev. 4:11) It is no wonder, then, that we are exhorted ‘not to forsake the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom’! Do we see our Christian meetings as a provision to help us endure until Jehovah acts against this wicked system of things? If so, the meetings will be among “the more important things” that we make room for in our busy lives. It would have to be something extremely significant to cause us to miss an opportunity to be united with our brothers in worship of Jehovah. w13 4/15 4:7, 8 Philippians 1:10 10 that you may make sure of the more important things, so that you may be flawless and not stumbling others up to the day of Christ; Hebrews 10:24, 25 24 And let us consider one another so as to incite to love and fine works, 25 not forsaking our meeting together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you see the day drawing near. Psalm 95:6 6 Come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker. Colossians 3:16 16 Let the word of the Christ reside in you richly in all wisdom. Keep on teaching and encouraging one another with psalms, praises to God, spiritual songs sung with gratitude, singing in your hearts to Jehovah. Revelation 4:11 11 “You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created.” wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2015/1/9
