Jehovah’s direction may seem unwise from a human standpoint (Jos 3:12, 13; it-2 105; see cover picture)

Appointed men should take the lead in following instructions (Jos 3:14; w13 9/15 2:17)

Jehovah blesses decisive action (Jos 3:15-17; w13 9/15 2:18)

We give Jehovah something to bless when we take the initiative to preach, even if we are limited by health or circumstances.
