Never Give Up!

Though we live in "critical times hard to deal with," we can be sure that Jehovah is fully in control. He is supporting and sustaining his people as they work to complete the preaching of the good news before God's appointed time to end this wicked system of things arrives. ( 2 Timothy 3:1; Matthew 24:14) Jehovah invites us to be "fellow workers" with him. ( 1 Corinthians 3:9) We are assured too, that Christ Jesus is with us in this work and that we can rely on angelic backing and direction. - Matthew 28:20; Revelation 14:6.

Because Noah and his family exercised faith in Jehovah's promises, they were saved through the flood waters. Those who exercise similar faith will be saved through the coming "great tribulation." (Revelation 7:14) We live in times that are truly exciting. Momentous events lie ahead! Soon, God will act to usher in glorious new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness will dwell. ( 2 Peter 3:13) Never, never give up in your conviction that whatever God says, he is also able to do. -Romans 4:21.
