SECTION 9 Worship Jehovah as a Family “Worship the One who made the heaven and the earth.” As you have learned in this brochure, the Bible contains many principles that will help you and your family. Jehovah wants you to be happy. He promises that if you put his worship first, “all these other things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33) He really wants you to be his friend. Make use of every opportunity to cultivate your friendship with God. This is the greatest privilege a person can have. 1 STRENGTHEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JEHOVAH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS: “‘I will become a father to you, and you will become sons and daughters to me,’ says Jehovah.” (2 Corinthians 6:18) God wants you to become his close friend. Prayer is one way to do this. Jehovah invites you to “pray constantly.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) He is eager to hear your inner thoughts and concerns. (Philippians 4:6) When you pray with your family, they will see how real God is to you. In addition to talking to God, you need to listen to him. You can do this by studying his Word and Bible-based publications. (Psalm 1:1, 2) Meditate on what you learn. (Psalm 77:11, 12) Listening to God also requires that you regularly attend Christian meetings. Speaking to others about Jehovah is another important way to strengthen your relationship with him. The more you do this, the closer you will feel to him. WHAT YOU CAN DO: Set aside time every day to read the Bible and pray As a family, give spiritual activities priority over entertainment and relaxation 2 ENJOY YOUR FAMILY WORSHIP WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS: “Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you.” (James 4:8) You need to schedule and follow through on a regular program of family worship. (Genesis 18:19) But more is needed. God must be part of your daily life. Strengthen your family’s relationship with God by speaking about him “when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up.” (Deuteronomy 6:6, 7) Make it your goal to be like Joshua, who said: “As for me and my household, we will serve Jehovah.” WHAT YOU CAN DO: Have a consistent training program that takes into account the needs of each member of your family

POGLAVLJE Zajedno služite Jehovi “Poklonite se onome koji je načinio nebo i zemlju” (Otkrivenje 14:7) Kao što ste mogli vidjeti u ovoj brošuri, Biblija sadrži mnoga načela koja mogu pomoći vašoj obitelji. Jehova želi da budete sretni. Obećao je da će vam pružiti sve što je potrebno bude li vam njegova volja na prvom mjestu u životu (Matej 6:33). On istinski želi da mu budete prijatelji. Iskoristite svaku priliku da biste gradili prijateljstvo s Bogom. To je najveća čast koju čovjek može dobiti (Matej 22:37, 38). JAČAJTE SVOJ ODNOS S JEHOVOM ŠTO KAŽE BIBLIJA: “‘Bit ću vam otac, a vi ćete mi biti sinovi i kćeri’, kaže Jehova” (2. Korinćanima 6:18). Bog želi da mu postanete bliski prijatelj. Molitva ima važnu ulogu u tome. Jehova vas poziva: “Neprestano se molite!” (1. Solunjanima 5:17). On žarko želi da podijelite s njim svoja razmišljanja i brige (Filipljanima 4:6). Kad se molite zajedno s ostalim članovima svoje obitelji, oni mogu vidjeti da vam je Bog stvaran. No nije dovoljno samo moliti se Bogu već ga morate i slušati. To možete tako da proučavate njegovu Riječ i biblijske publikacije (Psalam 1:1, 2). Duboko razmišljajte o onome što ste saznali (Psalam 77:11, 12). Osim toga, da biste slušali što vam Bog govori, morate redovito ići na kršćanske sastanke (Psalam 122:1-4). Važno je i da svoj odnos s Jehovom jačate tako da o njemu govorite drugima. Što češće budete to činili, bit ćete bliskiji s njim (Matej 28:19, 20). ŠTO MOŽETE UČINITI? Svaki dan odvojite vrijeme za čitanje Biblije i molitvu. Radite na tome da cijeloj obitelji duhovne aktivnosti budu važnije od zabave i rekreacije. UŽIVAJTE U OBITELJSKOM PROUČAVANJU ŠTO KAŽE BIBLIJA: “Približite se Bogu, i on će se približiti vama!” (Jakov 4:8). Napravite plan za redovito obiteljsko proučavanje i potom ga se držite * (1. Mojsijeva 18:19). No nemojte stati na tome. Bog mora biti dio vašeg svakodnevnog života. Pomozite svojoj obitelji da razvije blizak odnos s Jehovom primjenjujući ovaj savjet: “Govori o [Jehovi] kad sjediš u kući svojoj i kad ideš putem, kad liježeš i kad ustaješ” (5. Mojsijeva 6:6, 7). Postavite si cilj kakav je imao i Jošua, koji je kazao: “Ja i dom moj služit ćemo Jehovi!” (Jošua 24:15). ŠTO MOŽETE UČINITI? Neka vaše proučavanje bude redovito i prilagođeno potrebama svakog člana obitelji. ^ odl. 13 Jehovini svjedoci svakog tjedna odvajaju vrijeme za proučavanje Biblije i opušteni razgovor o duhovnim temama u krugu obitelji.
