David endure plenty problems for im life wey make-am cry. People hate-am, some of im friends and im family betray-am, and even try to kill-am. (1 Sam. 19:​10, 11; 2 Sam. 15:​10-14, 30) One time, as e de face serious trouble, e write say: “I don cry tire. I de soak my bed with tears every night. And na so-so cry I de cry ontop my chair.” (Ps. 6:6) Even though life hard for David, e dey sure say Jehovah love-am. E write say: “Jehovah go hear my voice as I de cry.” (Ps. 6:8) Wetin dey our text for today help us understand say Jehovah really love us and e de care about how we de feel. David talk say e just be like say Jehovah de collect im tears put inside bottle or e de write-am inside book. David dey sure say Jehovah know im pains and e de remember them. David no doubt say Jehovah know im problems and how the problems de make-am feel. w24.12 22 ¶11-12

Na true say we need to do our best to be mature Christians. But even after we don become mature Christian, we still need to do our best to continue to be mature Christian. This one mean say we no go over trust ourself, and de think say we no need to continue to work hard to make our friendship with Jehovah strong. (1 Cor. 10:12) So make we continue to check ourself to make sure say we de make our friendship with Jehovah grow. For the letter wey apostle Paul write to the Christians for Colossae, Paul show say them need to continue to be mature Christian. Even though say them don already be mature Christians, Paul tell them say make them dey careful so that them no go start to think like people for the world. (Col. 2:​6-10) Epaphras wey know the brothers and sisters for congregation well de always pray for them so that them go “stand strong as mature people.” (Col. 4:12) Wetin we fit learn from this one? Apostle Paul and Epaphras understand say for us to continue to be mature Christians, we need Jehovah help, and we need to continue to do our best to make our friendship with Jehovah continue to grow. Them want make brothers and sisters for Colossae continue to be mature Christians no matter wetin them de face. w24.04 6-7 ¶16-17

To fear Jehovah mean say we go love-am well-well sotey, we no go ever want do anything wey e no like. This one go make us want learn the difference between wetin correct and wetin no correct, and between the truth and lie so that Jehovah go de happy with us. (Prov. 2:​3-6; Heb. 5:14) If we fear people pass the way we de fear Jehovah, we fit start to believe things wey no be true. Make we talk about the example of the 12 men wey them respect well-well for Israel, wey go spy the land wey Jehovah promise them. Ten of the men allow their fear for Canaan people to strong pass their love for Jehovah. Them tell other Israel people say: “We no go fit go fight them because them strong pass us.” (Num. 13:​27-31) From wetin people fit see, na true say Canaan people strong pass Israel people. But anybody wey talk say Israel people no go fit win their enemy, don forget say Jehovah dey with them. w24.07 9 ¶5-6
