You Can Find True Happiness - TAKE IN SPIRITUAL FOOD - Conclusion

But either because you are too hurried or are too preoccupied mentally, you gulp it down without really tasting each morsel.  After you finish eating, you realize how quickly you ate and you wish you had slowed down and enjoyed each bite. Well, have you ever read the Bible in such a haste that you failed to savor it message?  Take  the time to enjoy reading God's Word visualize the scenes, imagine the sounds of the voices, and think about what you have read. The whole experience will add to  your happiness. 

Jesus appointed "the faithful and discreet slave  "to provide spiritual food at the proper time, and we are are very well-fed spiritually. (Matthew 24:45)  The inspired Scriptures are the primary ingredient in everything the faithful slave produces.  (1 Thessalonians 2:13)  That spiritual food thus helps us to know Jehovah's thinking as revealed in the Bible.  This is why we read the Watchtower and Awake!  magazines and the articles on jw.org.  We prepare for the midweek and weekend congregations meeting.  And we watch each monthly program on JW Broadcasting if available. Taking in ample spiritual food will  help us take a second step that leads to real happiness.
