KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON DOING GOD'S WILL

This and the last blog are for Saturday's post.

 As the great tribulation draw close, we realize more than ever how urgent it is to obey the command to share in the preaching work.  (Mark 13:10) We may, however, find it difficult to focus on our ministry if we have suffered a financial setback or if we are facing opposition to our preaching work. What can help us to put Kingdom interests first. Remaining confident that "Jehovah of armies" is on our side. He will support us if we continue to put the Kingdo interests ahead of our own. So we have nothing to fear. - Read HAGGAI 2:4.

Consider the example of Oleg and Irina, a married couple who serve as pioneers. After moving to assist a congregation in another area, they lost their source of income because of the worsening economic conditions in their country. Although they were without steady work for about a year, they constantly felt Jehovah's loving support and on occasion received help from their brothers and sisters. How did they cope with uncertainties? Oleg, who at first felt depressed states, "Keeping busy in the ministry helped us to focus on what is most important in life."  While he and his wife continue to look for work, they remained busy in their ministry.
