Keep Your Senses When Your Loyalty Is Tested - KEEP YOUR SENSES IN ALL THINGS

 As we get closer to the end of this system of things, we can expect challenges to come from within the congregation.  Those challenges could test our loyalty to Jehovah. So we must keep our senses.  If you feel mistreated by a fellow Christian, do  not allow yourself to become bitter. If you receive discipline, look beyond the embarrassment, accept the counsel, and make the needed adjustments. And when Jehovah's organizations make changes that affect you personally, wholeheartedly accept them and obey the direction.

Maintain your trust in Jehovah and his organization when your loyalty is tested.  But to do so, you need to keep your senses, that is, to stay calm, think clearly, and see matters from Jehovah's  perspective. Be determined to study about Bible characters who successfully coped with similar issues and meditate on their examples. Pray to Jehovah for help. And never isolate yourself from the congregation. Then, come what may, Satan will not be able to separate you from Jehovah or His organization. - JAMES 4:7.
