ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

The text of Proverbs 4:25 will help us keep our eyes fixed on the future that awaits us. A future where we will live the life that you really see it if we focus on it we will keep our positive attitude even stronger.

Ecclesiastes 4:6 This text helps us to maintain a positive attitude in our lives, as it reminds us that rest is something fundamental in our lives, that is why we must take advantage of the time we use on television, on the internet to rest and so on. get our strength back.

Another thing we can do is also read our Bible daily, since there we will find more principles of the Bible that will help us maintain a positive attitude in our daily lives.

How did Jehovah help Elijah? 

1 Kings 19:15-18 we see that Jehovah reminded him that the problem would be solved, that everything would go as planned. Furthermore Jehovah promised to help him and certainly sent a helper Elisha and finally reminded him that he was not alone as there were 700 faithful men at that time. 

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

We can also see that Jehovah was always in charge of strengthening Elijah's faith and showing him his favor, for example when he showed the false prophets of Baal of Balaam that Elijah was his servant.

Let us remember that Jezebel, Ahab's wife, had ordered Elijah to be killed. For which he escapes and flees Beer-sheba, there Elijah's faith that he had gained up to that moment is provoked, because he feels as if with an enormous frustration that prompts him to pray to Jehovah to ask him to take his life.

Far from doing what Elijah asked, Jehovah helped Elijah by sending an angel so that he could feed him so he could rest, then Jehovah told him to resolve the situation because he sends Elijah Jehu to be the King of Israel and so on. end the rulership of Ahab.

How the brother in the video mentions Jehovah provided Elijah with a helper, Elisha, whom Elijah anointed to take his place.

Also so that Elijah would not feel discouraged Jehovah tells me that in Israel there were 7000 men who were faithful because they had not worshiped Baal.

Also with all this good news that the day received from Jehovah, we see how he received the help he needed at an appropriate time because he felt very discouraged.

How does Jehovah help and encourage us today?

Through his word, the Bible, meetings and assemblies, because in them he reminds us that we are not alone, but that we are surrounded by a beautiful brotherhood that goes through situations similar to ours and even more complicated.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Jehovah knows that all his servants, like Elijah, sometimes tend to get discouraged by situations that happen to us in our lives, that is why he helps us by reminding us in his word in First Peter 5:7, that we can trust him and talk to him about our concerns because Jehovah cares for us. What encouraging words are those that we receive in this text, because it reminds us of the love that Jehovah has for us and how compassionate he is with us.

Another text that helps and encourages us is 1 Peter 5:9,10 This text reminds us that not only we go through adversity in this life, all our brothers around the world also go through difficulties one different from another. But with faith we continue to endure the adversities that come our way because we are not alone, we have our brotherhood on our side, as well as the mighty hand of Jehovah.
