Let us examine the scriptures every day 2025
Wednesday February 26, 2025
Jehovah will not leave his people (Ps. 94:14).
There are parts of the Bible that can be especially encouraging in bad times, such as the books of Job, Psalms and Proverbs, and the words of Jesus in chapter 6 of Matthew. If you pray to Jehovah and read his Word, you will see how he comforts you. Let us always keep this in mind: even in the worst moments of our lives, Jehovah will always be there to help us. He will never leave us alone (Ps. 23:4). Let us remember that he has promised to protect us, give us stability, sustain us and comfort us. Isaiah said to Jehovah: “You will protect those who rely completely on you, you will give them constant peace, for it is in you that they trust” (Isa. 26:3). So trust in Jehovah and take advantage of all the help he gives you. If you do, you will have the strength to withstand even the worst blows in life. w24.01 25 paras. 16, 17.
What can scare us?
There may be times when we feel very scared. In the Bible, there are accounts of faithful servants of God who admitted that they were trembling with fear because of their enemies or other serious problems (Ps. 18:4; 55:1, 5). What about us? Are we suffering opposition from school or work colleagues, family members or government officials? Are we facing the possibility of dying from a serious illness? At times like this, we can feel as helpless as a small child. What is Jehovah doing to help us?
According to Psalm 94:19, What does Jehovah promise to do?
What Jehovah does. He comforts and reassures us (read Psalm 94:19). Let's think about a little girl who is scared and can't sleep because of a storm with lightning and thunder. Then her dad comes, puts his arms around her and soothes her until she falls asleep. The storm is still raging, but she feels safe in her dad's arms. Similarly, when we are shaking with fear, we may need, so to speak, for our heavenly Father to put his arms around us until we feel better. What must we do so that Jehovah can comfort us?
If we want Jehovah to comfort us, what do we have to do?
What we have to do. It is important that we make a habit of spending time with Jehovah praying to him and reading his Word (Ps. 77:1, 12-14). Thus, when we are in a tense situation, probably the first thing we think about is going to our heavenly Father. Let us talk to Jehovah about what worries us and scares us, and let him answer us and comfort us with the Scriptures (Ps. 119:28). There are parts of the Bible that can be especially encouraging at these times, such as the books of Job, Psalms, and Proverbs, and the words of Jesus in chapter 6 of Matthew. If you pray to Jehovah and read his Word, you will see how he comforts you.
What should we keep in mind?
Let us always keep this in mind: even in the worst moments of our lives, Jehovah will always be there to help us. He will never leave us alone (Ps. 23:4; 94:14). Let us remember that he has promised to protect us, give us stability, sustain us and comfort us. Isaiah said to Jehovah: “You will protect those who rely completely on you, you will give them constant peace, for it is in you that they trust” (Isa. 26:3). So trust in Jehovah and take advantage of all the help he gives you. If you do, you will have the strength to withstand even the worst blows in life.
