“The word of God is alive and exerts power.”—HEB. 4:12.  The caption text reminds us that the word of God “exerts power.” Yes, God’s word exerts power to change lives. It is just as effective in helping us make needed changes after our baptism as it was prior to our taking that step. In his letter to the Hebrews, Paul also writes that the word of God “pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and their marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart.” (Heb. 4:12)  In other words, when we clearly understand God’s purpose for us, the way we respond to it reveals what we are deep inside. Is there sometimes a difference between what we appear to be (the “soul”) and who we really are (the “spirit”)? (Read Matthew 23:27, 28.) When Paul wrote that “the word of God is alive,” he was not referring specifically to God’s written Word, the Bible. The context shows that he was referring to God’s word of promise. Paul’s point was that God does not make a promise and then forget about it. Jehovah established this through the prophet Isaiah: “My word . . . will not return to me without results, but it will . . . have certain success in that for which I have sent it.” (Isa. 55:11)  Thus, there is no need for us to become impatient when things do not move ahead as quickly as we might wish. Jehovah ‘keeps working’ with a view to bringing his purpose to a successful conclusion.—John 5:17.

42 "But we have renounced the shameful, underhanded things, not walking with cunning or adulterating the word of God; but by making the truth manifest, we recommend ourselves to every human conscience in the sight of God."
(2 Cor. 4:2)

8 "Jehovah is opening
        the eyes of the blind;
Jehovah is raising
up those bowed down;
Jehovah loves the righteous."
 (Psalm 146:8)
We are only as blind as we want to be...
 

8 "Jehovah is opening
        the eyes of the blind;

We are only as blind as we want to be...
 

15O Jehovah, who may
       be a guest in your tent?
Who may reside in your holy mountain?
 2 The one who is walking faultlessly,
Practicing what is right
And speaking the truth in his heart."
           (Psalm 15:1,2)       Do not let your mouth say       what your heart doesn't feel.

11 "However, you, O man of God, flee from these things. But pursue righteousness, godly devotion, faith, love, endurance, and mildness.
12 Fight the fine fight of the faith; get a firm hold on the everlasting life for which you were called and you offered the fine public declaration in front of many witnesses." 
(1 Timothy 6:11,12)

THE BARBER......
A Witness went to a barbershop to trim his hair. As is customary in these cases he made a pleasant conversation with the person who attended him.
They talked about many things and touched many subjects. Suddenly they touched on the subject of God. The barber said:
"Look, gentleman, I do not think God exists, as you say."
"But why do you say that?" Asks the brother.
"If God existed, there would be no suffering, not so much pain," he said, "if God existed, there would be no suffering. For humanity.I can not think that a God who exists allows all these things. "
The brother thought for a moment, but did not want to respond to avoid an argument and in view of which the subject was deep to explain. The barber finished his work and the brother left the business.
I walked a few steps and saw in the street a man with a beard and long hair; Apparently it had been a long time since he cut it and looked very disheveled. Then he went back to the barbershop and said to the barber,
"You know, barbers do not exist."
"How come they do not exist? If I am here, I am a barber."
- "Do not!" Said the client, "They do not exist, because if they existed there would not be people with a beard and hair as long as this man has."
- "Ah, the barbers if they exist, what happens is that these people do not come to me".
"Exactly!" Said the client, "That's the point. Jehovah God does exist, what happens is that people do not go to him and do not seek him, that's why there is pain and suffering."

7 "Go, eat your food with rejoicing, and drink your wine with a cheerful heart, for already the true God has found pleasure in your works." (Ecc.9:7,8)

11 "However, you, O man of God, flee from these things. But pursue righteousness, godly devotion, faith, love, endurance, and mildness.
12 Fight the fine fight of the faith; get a firm hold on the everlasting life for which you were called and you offered the fine public declaration in front of many witnesses." 
(1 Timothy 6:11,12)

6 "A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away."
Ecclesiastes 3:6.

7 "Upon God depends my salvation and my glory.
My strong rock, my refuge, is God."
Psalms 62:7.

4 "I do not associate
        with deceitful men,
And I avoid those
who hide what they are."(Psalm 26:4)
Be careful who you associate with....people at war with themselves will always cause collateral damage in the lives of those around them.
 

15 "So keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, 16 making the best use of your time, because the days are wicked."
(Ephesian 5:15,16.)
Never put your time in the hands of the ungrateful. 

THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT GOD WILL DO AMAZING THINGS ON THE EARTH.
People will no longer feel pain, grow old, or die.—Revelation 21:4
“The lame will leap like the deer.”—Isaiah 35:6
“The eyes of the blind will be opened.”—Isaiah 35:5
The dead will be brought back to life.—John 5:28, 29
No one will get sick.—Isaiah 33:24
Everyone on earth will have plenty to eat.—Psalm 72:16.                          The Bible does more than that. It tells us what we need to know in order to be truly happy and enjoy life right now. Think for a moment about the things that make you worry. These may include money or family matters, bad health, or the death of someone you love. The Bible can help you to cope with these problems, and it can comfort you by answering such questions as these:
Why do we suffer?
How can we cope with our problems?
Can our family be happy?
What happens to us when we die?
Will we ever see our dead loved ones again?
Why can we be confident that God will do everything that he has promised? Go to JW.Org to learn these answers. 

Bible Reading—Profitable and Pleasurable
“You must . . . read in it day and night.”—JOSHUA 1:8.                         The Bible’s Author, Jehovah God has preserved it through centuries of virulent opposition from its enemies, both religious and secular. Since it is his will that “all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth,” he has seen to it that his Word is made available to all humankind. (1 Timothy 2:4) It is estimated that about 80 percent of earth’s inhabitants can be reached by the use of 100 languages. The text of the entire Bible is available in 370 languages, and parts of the Scriptures can be read in a further 1,860 languages and dialects. Jehovah wants his people to read his Word. He blesses his servants who give attention to his Word, yes, who read it daily.—Psalm 1:1, 2.                          
Notice the reasons why Jehovah required all future kings of Israel to read the book of divine law daily: (1) “in order that he may learn to fear Jehovah his God so as to keep all the words of this law and these regulations by doing them”; (2) “that his heart may not exalt itself above his brothers”; (3) “that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right or to the left.”

Work can be enjoyable or tiring, ?? your a hard worker. Keep strong ?️‍♀️ you will feel accomplishment for you hard work. “Everyone should eat and drink and find enjoyment for all his hard work. It is the gift of God.” (Ecclesiastes 3:13) 
Whether your work is mostly mental, mostly physical, or somewhere in between, recognize that “there is benefit in every kind of hard work.” (Proverbs 14:23) 
What sort of benefit? For one thing, hard work helps us to care for our material needs. True, God promises to provide for the needs of those who sincerely worship him. (Matthew 6:31, 32) But he also expects us to do our part by diligently trying to earn an honest living.—2 Thessalonians 3:10.
Thus, we can view our work as a means to an end. Work is an honorable way to care for our responsibilities. “Providing for yourself is an accomplishment,” says 25-year-old Joshua. “If you are able to pay for what you need, then your work is doing what it is supposed to do.” Moreover, hard work contributes to our self-respect. After all, hard work is just that—hard. When we discipline ourselves to stick with our work—even if it seems boring or difficult—we can have the satisfaction of knowing that we held ourselves to a high standard. We have won a victory over the inclination to take the easy way out. (Proverbs 26:14) In that sense, work brings an intense feeling of satisfaction. “I love the feeling I have after a long day of work,” says Aaron, quoted in the preceding article. “I may be exhausted—and my work might have even gone unnoticed by others—but I know that I’ve accomplished something.”
