Are You Receiving "Food at the Proper Time"? - 22. In what way are our publications a vital part of our spiritual food?

In order to have strong faith, a person must not only read the Bible, but also understand it and apply what he learns. (James 1:22-25) This is what an Ethiopian man in the first century needed to do. When Philip the evangelizer saw this man reading?" The man said: "Really, how could I ever do so unless someone guided me?" (Acts 8:26-31) Philip then helped the man to understand what he was reading..  The man was so  moved by what he learned that  he decided to get baptized.  (Acts 8:32-38)  Similarly, our publications have helped us to understand the  truth found in God's Word.  What we read affects our emotions and moves us to apply what we learn. - COLOSSIANS 1:9, 10.

Our publications provide us as Jehovah's servants with plenty of good things to "eat" and "drink." (Isaiah 65:13)   For example, the Watchtower is available in over 210 languages. It explains prophecy, helps us to understand important truths, and motivates us to live by God's principles.  The Awake! magazine is available in about 100 languages.  It helps us to learn more about Jehovah's beautiful creation and  teaches us how to apply the useful advice found in the Bible.  (Proverbs 3:21-23; Romans 1:20)  The faithful slave provides publications based on God's Word in more than 680 languages!  Do you take the time to read the Bible each day? Do you read each new magazine and all the publications available in your language?

Jehovah's organization also provides outlines for talks that are given at meetings, assemblies, and conventions. Do you  enjoy the talks, dramas, demonstrations, and interviews that are presented there>  Yes, Jehovah provides us with an abundant supply of spiritual food! - ISAIAH 25:6.
