God's Servants Are Favored

Jehovah's loving-kindness "has filled the earth," and how we appreciate this quality of God! (Psalm 119:64) We wholeheartedly respond to the psalmist's refrain: "O let people give thanks to Jehovah for his loving-kindness and for his wonderful works to the sons of men." (Psalm 107:8, 15, 21, 31) We rejoice that Jehovah extends his loving-kindness to his approved servants - either as individuals or as a group. In prayer, the prophet Daniel addressed Jehovah as "the true God, the great One and the fear inspiring One, keeping the covenant and the loving-kindness to those loving him and to those keeping is commandments."
(Daniel 9:4) King David prayed: " Continue your loving-kindness to those knowing you." (Psalm 36:10) How grateful we are that Jehovah expresses loving-kindness toward his servants! - I Kings 8:23; I Chronicles 17:13).

Truly, we are favored as Jehovah's people! In addition to benefiting from God's love shown to mankind in general, we enjoy distinctive blessings resulting from our heavenly Father's loving-kindness, or loyal love. (John 3:16) Especially in time of need do we benefit from this precious quality of Jehovah. (Psalm 36:7) But how can we imitate the loving -kindness of Jehovah God? Are we individually displaying this remarkable quality?
