Make "the Best Use of Your Time" - MAKE THE BEST USE OF YOUR TIME WITH JEHOVAH

 Recognize that prayer, study, and meditation are part of our worship.  When we pray, we are communicating with our heaavenly Father, who loves us dearly.  (Psalm 5:7) When we study the Bible, we are taking "in the knowledge of God," who is the Source of all wisdom.  (Provcrbs 2:1-5)  When we meditate, we are considering Jehovah's appealing personality as well as his awesome inpiring purpose for all creation and how we fit into that purpose.  Can you think of a better way to use your time?  But how can we get the most from the limited time at our disposal?

If possible, choose a quiet setting. Consider the example of Jesus.  Before he undertook his earhly ministry, Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness.  (Luke 4:1. 2) In that quiet setting, Jesus could pray to Jehovah and meditate on his Father's will for him.  Doing so no doubt prepared Jesus for the tests that would soon come his way.  How can you benefit from Jesus' example?  If you are a member of a large family.  It may not always be possible for you to find a quiet place at home.  In that case, you might look for an appropriate  setting outdoors.  That is what Julie does when she wants to spend time  with Jehovah in prayer. She and her husband live in a small apartment in France, and it is difficult to be alone and uninterrupted.  "So I go for a walk in the park every day," Julie explains.  "There  I can be alone, concentrate, and really talk to Jehovah."
