Improve Your Study Habits - SET YOUR PRIORITIES

What should our priorities include?  We should certainly spend time each day studying God's Word.  The amount of material now scheduled for the congregation weekly Bible reading has been reduced in order to give us more time on what we read and to do extra research.  Our goal should be, not merely to cover the assigned material, but to allow the Bible's message to touch our hearts and to draw us closer to Jehovah. - PSALM 19:4.

What else should we study carefully?  Of course, we want to prepare the material for the Watchtower Study and the Congregation Bible Study as well as other material for the midweek meeting. We should also keep up with each issue of the Watchtower and Awake!

'Fine,you may say, 'but what about all the features that appear on our website, jw.org, as well as  the material that is presented on JW Broadcasting? There is so much!'  Consider and illustration:  A great variety of delicious food is available on a buffet at a restaurant.  The patrons of the restaurant could never sample everything that is offered.  So they choose just  a few dishes. Similarly, if you are unable to keep up with everything that is supplied electronically, do not be discouraged.  Read or watch what you can. Let us now discuss what is involved in study and how to derive the most benefit from our study.
