Having taken to heart the Bible's advice that we should do what we can to care for our own material needs, Joe began to look for work." (1 Thessalonians 4:11, 12) "There is nothing better for a man then to eat and drink and find enjoyment in hard work," says Ecclesiastes 2:24. That joy is also a result of self-respect, for honest work dignifies us. And it enables us to assist the needy. EPHESIANS 4:28.
Seeing Joe's sincerity, "the congregation embraced him," said Cindi, and "some helped him to apply for suitable housing and other things for which he was eligible." Joe continued to make progress and in time was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Now he can speak from personal experience when he encourages others to acquire wisdom from God, as found in the Bible. - PROVERBS 3:13, 14.
