Ps 89:37. What is the difference between being faithful and being loyal? (cl 281 pars. 4, 5).

Although the moon is called a faithful witness because it appears regularly, the moon cannot be loyal, since loyalty is an expression of love, a quality that only living beings such as humans and angels can display. Loyalty, in contrast to faithfulness, implies an emotional bond and a steadfastness that endures even in difficult times, reflecting Jehovah's loyal love.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Loyal refers to a person who shows kindness to someone out of love, becomes attached and stays by their side, is so resilient and firm that they can overcome the most difficult situations, while fidelity is sometimes faithful only out of duty. In addition, there are also inanimate things that are not faithful. For example, the Bible says that even the moon is a faithful witness.

It is said that the Hebrew scriptures speak of a person who shows kindness to someone out of love, becomes attached to him and stays by his side, that is loyalty, but this implies more than being faithful because someone could be faithful only out of a sense of duty, instead the loyalty that the Bible speaks of is born of love.

That is why they are there in verse 37, comparing or saying that the moon was faithful, the source of information said that let us approach that inanimate things, perhaps even an animal, can be faithful, but what distinguishes faithfulness from loyal love or loyalty is the motivation, which is love; that love is what produces something more than fidelity.

We can say that someone could be faithful only because of the sense of duty they have or fulfilling their duty, on the other hand, the loyalty that the Bible speaks of is born from the love that human beings feel, an example to be able to understand it with what is said about the moon, the moon is a faithful witness because it is there every night but it is not loyal because it is an inanimate object, you can only be loyal when someone shows love.

The difference between being faithful and being loyal is the depth of the commitment because being faithful implies fulfilling a duty in a constant and responsible way while being loyal implies emotional attachment, that is, the genuine love that exists towards someone and this also does not mean that being loyal is like something cold, rather it is a demonstration of true affection towards the other person.

In Psalm 89:37 it says that the moon is a faithful witness in the heavens because it is always there, it is not someone constant but it would be loyal. Well the answer is no, since loyalty is a sign of love towards someone else and inanimate things and animals do not have them.

The term loyalty has to do with activity, it is a demonstration of love, while fidelity is more something that is fulfilled out of duty, even inanimate beings demonstrate fidelity, making a very brief example, for example, our parents, we have the obligation to take care of them, we are faithful, but we are loyal when we attach ourselves with love and show them kindness. 

The term loyal in the Hebrew scriptures refers to a person who shows kindness to someone but out of love becomes attached to him and stays by his side and on the other hand the term fidelity could simply be due or it could be defined as someone who could be faithful only because of his sense of duty, so we can say that inanimate things for example there are inanimate things that are faithful as for example the moon shows here but loyalty is a sign of love something that inanimate things do not possess.

Yes, we see the text that mentions the moon, although it is called a faithful witness because it appears regularly, the moon cannot be loyal since loyalty is an expression of love, a quality that only living beings can have and also demonstrate the Angels, on the other hand, loyalty is the contrast with fidelity, it implies a firm emotional bond and then that reflects the loyal love towards Jehovah.

Yes, it is also mentioned that loyalty is not something cold, but rather it is a demonstration of true affection towards the other person and this quality is not like the waves of the sea that come and go, instead loyalty or loyal love is so resistant and firm that it can overcome even the most difficult situations we have.

And we can also see that loyalty is not a cold thing, a thing that changes like a wave in the sea that comes and goes, one that is loyal today and then not, it is a firm thing, a total attachment, an attachment out of love and permanent faithfulness, then we see the difference and loyalty is far superior to fidelity, although fidelity is important, but loyalty is better.

And we see that loyalty as mentioned lovingly adheres to someone or something and does not depart from that person or thing even in difficult circumstances since it is pious and carefully observes all its duties towards God while fidelity is attributed as mentioned to inanimate objects such as the moon because they are reliable but cannot show moral qualities such as loyalty.

That is why, since it is based on love, there are many verses in the Bible that instead of loyalty, translate loyal love.

The psalmist said that they will walk in your face and all day long your name will be their joy and also David and many other psalmists said that Jehovah is the joy of our hearts and it is so, because in reality he has designed us and created us and he knows what we need to be happy and we are truly happy when we obey his commandments, then there is no greater joy and happiness than her.

And we see that beautiful quality in 2 Samuel 22:26, ​​the loyalty between us and Jehovah and Jehovah and us, as it says, "He who is loyal, you show loyalty to him, and you treat the blameless man in an blameless manner." Then we also see the loyal love of Jehovah God.

What spiritual pearls have you found in this week's Bible reading?

Psalm 88:1. We can see that the psalmist does not hide his pain or his despair, but on the contrary, he expresses it openly. This teaches us that we can turn to Jehovah in our vulnerability, knowing that he understands our emotions and our internal struggles, for this reason we do not have to be strong before him, but sincere.

Psalm 88:13,14. It is an example of how prayer can bring an answer. It is true that sometimes we have to wait a while for Jehovah to answer us and give us the solution to the problems we may have. In some cases, Jehovah allows those of us who present him with requests to demonstrate the depth of our concern, the intensity of our desire, and also the genuineness of our devotion.

Psalm 89:2 Knowing that Jehovah's love and faithfulness never fails us can comfort those of us who are facing difficulties and help us remember that we can always trust in God who is with us.

Psalm 88 shows the calamities of the psalmist, he felt like he was in a deep hole in an immense abyss on the edge of the grave but he never stopped praying, he asked Jehovah for help, he screamed for help, we can pray in the same way when we are going through serious problems so that Jehovah gives us wisdom, peace and strength to endure.

Psalm 89:8,13. Mentions that Jehovah is a God of action and the writer says your hand is strong and your arm is powerful. Since Jehovah is so active, he also likes us to strive to work in the best way possible and he blesses us if we work and if we are not lazy.

Psalm 88:1. We see that Jehovah comforts us through his holy spirit. So if we are going through a very difficult trial and we feel that our heart is broken, let us tell Jehovah everything we feel. We can talk to him as many times as necessary and for as long as it takes because if we do it without getting tired, he gives us his holy spirit and we have and have the assurance that he will listen to us.

Psalm 89:52. It is the last verse of this psalm and like others in the other four books it concludes with the expression Amen, we can imagine for a moment the nation of Israel listening to the reading of the psalms and pronouncing this amen, well it is something similar to when we are here in the Kingdom Hall and we listen to everyone, it is a question of how we normally do it could sometimes fall a little into routine but by saying amen it means that one is in agreement, has heard the prayer of the one who was praying, is in agreement and asks that the will of Jehovah be thus manifested.

Psalm 88:3 teaches that we all go through times when we feel overwhelmed, so it is important to remember that we are not alone. Even though the difficulties may be intense, we can find comfort in Jehovah and in a hope for the future life that he promises.

The fact that as publishers we no longer report a specific number of hours gives us the opportunity to constantly and spontaneously joyfully praise Jehovah as expressed in Psalm 89:16, referring to the people of God, he said, "All day long your name is their joy." So we should not hesitate to take advantage of any opportunity that comes our way throughout our day to talk about Jehovah and how happy we are to walk under his light.

Psalm 88:13,14. We can see an example of how prayer can bring an answer, but sometimes it may take longer or we may not see it at the moment, but it is God who is waiting.

Psalm 88:10. There is a moment when the psalmist says may those who are powerless in death rise to praise you, what we see here is that this servant of Jehovah was having a bad time but still what mattered most to him was that Jehovah continued to receive praise, keeping this in mind helps us overcome trials because it helps us think that there are more important things than us, which is praising the name of Jehovah and when we have that in mind Jehovah gives us the strength to move forward.

Psalm 89:26. The writer of this psalm speaks of Jehovah and says you are my father my God whom I worship my father someone close but then he says and the rock of my salvation is different a stone a rock a stone moves it has no stability it has no foundation instead a rock is something founded it is something deep, then if we rely on that rock we will always have its protection and the way out for any problem.

Psalm 89:5. There it says that Jehovah the heavens praise your wonders, according to the book of insight it is not only referring to what we know as stellar bodies that we all see and that we always say how wonderful what Jehovah has done, but it is also referring to the angels, these angels who praise the wonders done by Jehovah and who are part of that wonder, so when we think that Jehovah has granted us the privilege of collaborating with the angels to spread the good news and praise his name, then we will feel privileged. 

Psalm 88:8 and 18. Both show a feeling that we can have when for being different and behaving as Jehovah likes in our family members or even some brothers in the congregation they leave us aside or make us feel weird or that we have a very sensitive conscience, this affects us because we are social beings that is how Jehovah made us, but in those moments we have to meditate on what is more worthwhile: pleasing others for a period of time or gaining the favor of the creator of the entire universe who is the only one who will never leave us alone.

Psalm 88:3. Says I cry out for help; I come before you at night, let my prayer come to you, incline your ear, that feeling that the psalmist had, maybe we have had it, thinking that God does not answer us, and a sister who suffered from depression in a Watchtower experience said that they knew in these times he did not perform miracles and explained why her prayers helped her, she says she had access to Jehovah's holy spirit 24 hours a day, and she used this means to continue to endure, if we are going through a difficult situation, let us continue praying and remembering that Jehovah through his spirit can instill in us power that is beyond the normal so that we can endure.

Psalm 88:12,13. They remind me that when I feel uncertain, doubtful, or experiencing injustice or feeling in darkness, I must not stop asking Jehovah in prayer for his help and protection.

Psalm 88:1. The psalmist cries out for help day and night. This image teaches us the importance of perseverance in prayer, especially when we are going through difficult times, because sometimes it may seem that our prayers do not receive immediate answers, but as the psalmist says, we must continue to go to Jehovah, trusting that he does hear all our pleas every day.

Psalm 88:10. The psalmist shows another reason to continue loving life when we feel very bad or are depressed and that is that in the grave he says that the grave itself does not praise Jehovah, so glorifying God is a good reason to continue living and in turn he says that it is a good reason to continue glorifying him while we are alive.

Psalm 89:13. It highlights the strength and power of Jehovah, which makes us think that no matter what circumstances we are going through, we must be sure that Jehovah has the ability to sustain us and guide us. All we have to do is open our hearts to Him and move forward, always seeking His help and protection.

Psalm 89:14 reminds us that as Jehovah we have a God who is righteous, just, loyal, and faithful too, so we can know that our creator, our God, has all those qualities that we need.

Psalm 89:1,2 reminds me that Jehovah is a God of loyal love and that I can have complete confidence that everything that was promised will not change and will not be fulfilled without fail, so therefore I must strive to imitate this quality of loyalty in my daily life and return His true love. 

Psalm 89:52. The report was saying that the first four books of Psalms conclude with this word amen, which teaches us that in ancient times it was used as an expression to force oneself to fulfill oaths or a pact with Jehovah or also to mean that one agrees with the prayer, which is how Jehovah's people use it today.

Psalm 89:14. It says the foundations of your throne are righteousness and justice. We see that the psalmist affirmed that Jehovah's own throne is founded on justice. He is not the source of justice. The Bible itself says justice and judgment are the established place of your throne. Therefore, when we have the slightest doubt, we can be sure that all of His laws, principles, and decisions are fair and undoubtedly the best for us.

Psalm 89:6. We can apply it for the application because it says that in this verse we are reminded that no being in heaven can equal Jehovah and also not even the angels who are powerful and holy can compare to the glory and power and majesty of our creator with this for the application because we can explain to the housewife that it is Jehovah who can change this world.

Psalm 89:2. There it says that he is asking Jehovah to incline his ear when he cries out to him with cries for help in the note that is in this verse it says bend down and listen, this makes me think of how close Jehovah is to us when we are asking for help in this way normally who we speak to is a very close relative, a very intimate friend and he, this person bends down with us to listen to us calmly because in that same way is how Jehovah does when he listens to our prayers.

Psalm chapter 88. We see David very discouraged recently in 1 Samuel 2:3 we see that David has been a few meters from being captured by Saul after a long chase through the desert and now in 88 he reflects in his heart if he will always have to be like this on the verge of death away from his family friends and with so many problems, so after unloading this feeling on Jehovah he meditates in 89 on Jehovah's promise that he would make him king and that his kingdom would be the basis for a greater reign, we learn that sometimes negativity and problems could cloud us but we have to unload that on Jehovah and trust in his promise.

Psalm 88:9. We can transfer this to our preaching ministry because it teaches us that we should not judge people by their appearance. We know that today our neighbors and all people go through very difficult and complicated situations and this in turn helps us show a quality that is empathy towards them.

Psalm 89:9. Talks about how Jehovah controls the waves of the sea because we can compare problems for example or when there is a ship and it is there with a great storm that the poor cannot solve but on the contrary they are completely helpless, we in the same way can also feel helpless at any time due to living certain difficult circumstances that we are going through, that is why this verse teaches us that if we take refuge in Jehovah who is the only one who can control any situation that we are going through no matter how difficult it may be.

Psalm 89:2. It shows us the love and faithfulness of Jehovah, which never fails. It says that he can comfort those who are facing challenges, and this helps us remember that regardless of our circumstances, we can always trust that God is with us. 

Psalm 88:13. Also what is shown is the persistence that the psalmist had regarding his prayers to Jehovah when he was going through a complicated situation, this teaches us that our persistence in prayer shows Jehovah our deep concern or the intensity of our desire and the purity of our motive so we never have to stop praying to Jehovah because in one way or another he will always give us the way out.

Psalm 89:1. When we attend the meetings, the first thing we do is greet our brothers first, but it also shows us that when we sing praises to Jehovah, in that way we are showing our loyalty and the love that Jehovah has for us, so that urges us to be early for the Meetings.

Psalm chapter 88 shows that Jehovah actually understands very well our feelings and how we can feel, in fact we can identify with some feelings, for example verse 9 talks about our eyes being dull from suffering so much, sometimes perhaps crying so much we can feel that way, verse 13 mentions that we can cry out for help or even verse 15 that sometimes we feel so shocked by a problem that we can feel that way, so this chapter made me see that Jehovah actually understands how we feel many times and it reassures us to know that he understands this and that in fact he knows how far we can go and knows the best help that he can give us.

Psalm 89:47. The first part that says remember that my life is short and even though our life is short made me think about what we are doing with that life, if we concentrate on complaining and doing nothing or if we dedicate it to Jehovah and can receive rewards.

Psalm 88:1 Because we trust in our God Jehovah at all times while our prayers we can ask him for so many things that he will listen to us says even if it is night even if it is day we can ask him with complete confidence.

Psalm 88:2. I like how it shows Jehovah, he says, incline your ear when you are praying to him, and that expression of inclining your ear, the asterisk broadens it and tells us to bend down and listen, that is to say that Jehovah bends down, bends down to listen to what we are praying to him.

Psalm chapter 89 was written by Ethan, Ethan was probably the third most intelligent and wise human being alive in the world because above him was only Solomon, says First Kings, so the interesting thing is that his prayer highlights Jehovah's loyal love and if we imitate that good divine wisdom and use loyal love as the basis of our prayers we could make a prayer that pleases Jehovah.

Psalm 88:13,14. It says that the psalmist cries out to Jehovah for help and says why don't you answer me, it's not that I don't have your favor. Then that makes us see that if perhaps we see that Jehovah does not answer us quickly some specific problem in our prayers then we can see that Jehovah may be asking us to show how genuine our devotion is to him and through supplications not only once but constantly and as it says here shouting that also implies that it is from the heart.

Psalm chapter 88. We can see the prayer that is well suffered one could say that Jehovah likes that we suffer the clarification of the text shows us that on many occasions God allows it says that those who present requests demonstrate the depth of concern this to see how genuine the devotion that each one has can be then take advantage of this intimate moment with Jehovah to show him all our feelings. 

Psalms 88:13,14. Teaches us how prayer sometimes brings immediate answers to our requests, other times it can take a while, just as the psalmist expressed. Jehovah sometimes wants to know how deep our requests are, and the more constant we are in our prayers to Jehovah, he will answer us at the time he considers appropriate.

When they asked me what I want to do in life sometimes I had doubts about what I should do but remembering that nothing and no one surpasses the education that comes from Jehovah makes me remember that putting Psalm 89:6 first, which says who is like Jehovah who can compare to him and the truth is that no one, he is the only one who deserves my worship and my time of youth but them the more I think about what Jehovah has done for me the more grateful I feel to worship him for it I must strive and continue being faithful to Jehovah and my youth and in the future.

Psalm 88:13. Sometimes it seems that Jehovah does not hear our prayers or that the solution does not come quickly, but sometimes Jehovah allows our requests to be very intense, which shows how worried we are but also how much we trust in him, so we should not stop praying because Jehovah knows when and how to help us.

Psalm 89:15,16. It teaches me that the more we meditate on Jehovah's goodness, the more convinced we will be that his way of governing is the best and we will feel like the psalmist who said, "One day in your courtyard is better than a thousand in another place."

Psalm 89:7. It says God is deeply respected in the assembly or in the meeting, this teaches me how important it is to pay attention to the meeting because it comes from Jehovah so I can show that I feel respect for him and not be distracted.

Psalms 88:13,14. It teaches me how constant I have to be with my prayers and that Jehovah has to see my concern and my desire so that he can answer my prayer.

Psalm 89:14. Several qualities are mentioned within them, righteousness and justice are said to be the foundations of Jehovah's government so that although things get worse every day there is hope that everything will change soon these human governments will be shaken and replaced by the government of God.

Psalms 89:34. It teaches me a great lesson about Jehovah that he does not change what his lips have said and we can be witnesses of everything he has done so that his purpose continues to be fulfilled and it also teaches me personally that my yes should be like that.

Psalms 89:34. It is a promise that reminds me a lot not to break that covenant that I have made with Jehovah, so as Jehovah says he gives us a promise, then I must strive to continue fulfilling it and continue so that I too can be saved in one way or another.

Psalms 89:34. David was promised that one of his descendants would become the messianic offspring and Jehovah fulfilled his covenant. Even today I will continue to strive to strengthen my faith based on the truth by diligently studying the Bible and putting into practice what He asks of me so that He will continue to shower me with blessings and I will also have His protection.

Psalm 89:17. It makes me think about how powerful Jehovah is and how that helps us seeing and thinking about how amazing the strength of Jehovah is, it helps us with our problems because no one escapes from problems or difficult decisions that we have to make and perhaps that causes us anxiety but we can overcome it by thinking about Jehovah, the amazement we feel towards him takes us out of problems, his creation, his organization and when we need to run away from problems, let us think of Jehovah who in comparison to our problems are very small next to him.

Psalm 89:13. Highlights the strength of Jehovah's power, reminding us that no matter the circumstances, his power is enough to sustain us and guide us to remember Jehovah's strength, we find encouragement and strength in difficult times, this encourages us to turn to him for help and comfort.

Psalm 89:18. We see that through that covenant they received true forgiveness of their sins because of their faith, this teaches me how important the covenant we have made with Jehovah is when we dedicate and we see that He has granted us His loving kindness to serve Him as witnesses of His Kingdom.

At the end of his life, Solomon said he came to the conclusion that fearing the true God and following his commandment was all that man should do, and this can be compared to what Psalm 89:17 says, that the greatest strength that we can have is to have the approval of Jehovah, so the only thing that we should seek in our lives is to have the approval of Jehovah.

Psalms 89:20. Shows how Jehovah had found his servant David and he himself had taken charge of anointing him and also mentions that his hand was what was going to sustain him and his arm was going to strengthen him. So this personally teaches me that the fact of belonging to his people is because Jehovah is the one who has sought me out and has allowed me to enter his people and when I go through difficult times, recognizing and understanding that the fact that I continue to belong to his people is because Jehovah is the one who sustains me and strengthens me in those difficult times. 

Psalm 89:33,34. Jehovah once again reminds us that he will not be unfaithful to his promises nor change what his lips say, so this is very good for us but if we want to reaffirm our trust in him it is very important that we can dedicate time to remember and meditate on how he has already fulfilled his promises in this way we will be sure that he will fulfill the wonderful promises that we hope for the future. 

Psalm 88:1. Says O Jehovah, the God of my salvation, by day I cry out for help, and by night I come to you, then this shows us that if we are going through a very difficult trial or we feel that our heart is broken, we can tell Jehovah and tell him everything we feel. We can talk to him as many times as we want and for as long as we want, he will listen to us, and we should not tire of asking for his Holy Spirit because surely he will listen to us and help us. 

Psalm 89:15. Happy is the people who know what it is to shout for joy, O Jehovah. They walk in the light of your face. A reference work says that walking in the light of your face means having Jehovah's approval. And really, when we know that we have his approval and his blessing, we feel very happy. Therefore, it is important that we always review and realize that our thoughts, actions, and motivations are always in agreement with Jehovah's will in order to continue counting on his blessing.

Psalm 89:26. He will call out, saying, You are my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. On the Watchtower, the Lord says, make it a donut. During a dangerous storm, a person can take shelter by going into a cave or under a large rock. This is an example. In a similar way, when we face difficult situations in our lives, we can take refuge in Jehovah.

Psalm 89:33. We see how Jehovah promises to never abandon us and never leave us and to be faithful to his promise to take care of us. Now two verses before it says that those who stopped obeying him he would punish them. So although Jehovah promises us that he will always be there for us, he expects that same loyalty from us to not say well today I want to fail Jehovah but rather he will be there watching to make sure that we are also loyal to him and if we are not, he will not let it pass.

Psalm 89:45-47. Talks about how our youth is short and also says to remember how short life is, did you create all human beings for nothing? This reminds me that in our youth we should give everything for the service of Jehovah, although we are not afraid of death because we know that a resurrection is coming, but while Armageddon does not come, we all know that we can die and that our life is short, so while we are alive we should give everything in ourselves for the service of Jehovah.

Psalms 88:15. I am struck by the word "overwhelming" that he said about the suffering of young people, and the truth is that today young people are increasingly faced with different tests, but Jehovah continues to be even more interested, knowing the struggle they are going through, and through his organization he has provided advice to help them and help them make good decisions.

Psalms 88:3. Mention why my soul is full of calamities perhaps we could say because my life is full of problems sometimes we can have several problems whether economic, health or even emotional but it all depends on how we cope or how we can see those problems we must not let that consume us because otherwise as verse 4 mentions we will feel that we are a helpless man, that is to say that we are alone and that good can help us but we do not want that, but rather we want to be able to focus that Jehovah can help us if we are together with the brothers we pray we will see the hands of Jehovah.

Psalm 89:2. Mentions that Jehovah's love will last forever and that makes us think that even if we make mistakes, Jehovah forgives them and never blames us for our mistakes or sins, so we also do well to imitate him and be loyal to our brothers, forgive if we have felt that they have offended us and not blame them, that is a sign of loyalty. 

Psalm 88:9. Says oh Jehovah I spent the whole day calling you I stretch out my hands toward you this detection shows us that we should constantly pray to Jehovah not like when one speaks to his friends constantly that is how our prayers should be to him not express our deepest feelings to him open our heart to him that will make our relationship with him closer.

Psalms 89:21. Jehovah gives us a nice reminder because there are times in our lives when we can feel very sad, very discouraged and very down, but in this text Jehovah constantly in this chapter in general reminds us that he is with his arm to help us stand up and give us the strength or the necessary push that we need when we feel sad, then remembering that we are not alone helps us a lot because we remember that we have Jehovah's support.

Psalm 89:9. Just as a sailor feels vulnerable in the face of the waves of the sea, we too can feel helpless at certain times in our lives, but where do we have to turn? Jehovah God, who can control any situation we are going through.

Psalm 89:1. which says the first part I will sing forever the samples of loyal love of Jehovah and this is what we do his loyal love makes us not remain silent whether at work young people at school and in preaching we talk about his love.

Psalm 88:1. In this same verse we can find another very valuable Pearl, since the psalmist, by crying out for help day and night, makes us see the importance of constancy in prayer, and especially when we are going through difficult times. Sometimes it may seem that our prayers do not receive an immediate answer, but as a psalmist, we must continue to turn to Jehovah and trust that he hears each of our prayers.

Psalm 88:3. Even though the psalmist is surrounded by calamity and feels that his life is close to the grave, he is praying to Jehovah. This reminds us that even in the most difficult moments of our lives, we must turn to God for comfort and support.

Psalm 88:5. The psalmist does not hide his feelings of pain, helplessness, and loneliness. This teaches us that we can turn to God with our deepest and most difficult prayers, even when we feel that He is not around. Although the psalmist feels that God has forgotten him, this does not mean that this is the case. In our lives we may experience moments when it seems that Jehovah is not present, but the Bible assures us that He never abandons us.

Psalm 89:2. Knowing that Jehovah’s love and faithfulness never fail can comfort those who are facing challenges. This helps us remember that no matter our circumstances, we can always trust that God is with us.

Psalm 89:5. This text highlights the wonders of Jehovah, his creation, his intervention in our lives, and his powerful works, which are worthy of being proclaimed. By reflecting on his wonders, we can strengthen our faith and be encouraged to praise him constantly.

Psalm 89:5. We can see that creation itself bears witness to Jehovah's majesty and power. The heavens with their stars, planets, and vast universe reflect his grandeur and wisdom. This teaches us to look at creation as a constant source of praise to Jehovah and a reminder of his power.

Psalm 89:6. In this verse we are reminded that no being in heaven can equal Jehovah, not even the Angels who are powerful and Holy can compare with the glory and power and majesty of our creator.

Psalm 89:9. Just as a sailor feels vulnerable in the face of the waves of the sea, we too can feel helpless at certain times in our lives, but this verse teaches us that we can take refuge in Jehovah, since he can control any situation we are facing.

Psalm 89:13. This verse highlights Jehovah's strength and power, reminding us that no matter the circumstances, his power is sufficient to sustain and guide us. By remembering Jehovah's strength, we find encouragement and strength in difficult times. This encourages us to turn to him for help and comfort.
