Saturday, September 28 Humble yourselves . . . under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; while you throw all your anxiety upon him.—1 Pet. 5:6, 7. Certain men hold back from getting involved in spiritual matters because they do not read well or cannot express themselves fluently or are just shy. Some men are uncomfortable sharing their views or feelings in a public setting. The thought of having to study, comment at Christian meetings, or share their faith with others may seem overwhelming to them. “When I was young,” admits a Christian brother, “I would quickly walk up to the door, pretend to ring the doorbell, and quietly walk away, hoping no one would hear or see me. . . . The thought of going from door to door made me physically ill.” A fine way to help someone struggling with feelings of inadequacy is to encourage him to focus on Jehovah instead of on himself. This requires that we help our Bible student to develop spirituality. w11 11/15 4:13, 15
