Conclusion of Planning a "Normal" Life

Before he acts, though, Jehovah purposes that the good news of his Kingdom "be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all nations." (Matthew 24:24)  In harmony with God's purpose, some seven million Witnesses of Jehovah are preaching this good news to 236 lands in over four hundred languages.

To the world, the lifestyle of Jehovah's Witnesses may seem strange in some ways-even ridiculous.  (2 Peter 3:3, 4) Like those living before the Flood, most people today are preoccupied  with the routine of daily life.  They may view as unbalanced anyone who refuses to life a lifestyle that society considers to be normal.  But from the perspective of those who have faith in God's promises, a life centered on serving God is truly balanced.  

Therefore, whether you are rich or poor or somewhere in-between, it is wise from time to time to review your plans for the near future. As you do, ask yourself, 'Do my plans harmonize with God's purpose?
