Always Trust in Jehovah!

WHILE WE WAIT

For what purpose was Paul"rescued from the lion's mouth"?  He states:  "So that through me the preaching might be fully accomplished and all the nations might hear it." (2 Timothy 4:17) As we, like Paul, busy ourselves in the preaching work, we trust that Jehovah will see to it  that all other necessary things "will be added" to us.  (Matthew 6:33)  As Kingdom preachers, we have been "entrusted with the good news," and we are considered by Jehovah to be his fellow workers." ( 1 Thessalonians 2:4;  1 Corinthians 3:9) By being as active as possible in God's work we will find it easier to wait for relief.  

Let us, then, use the present time to strengthen our relationship with God.  If any situation makes us anxious, use it to draw closer to Jehovah. Yes, by being immersed in God's Word, by praying continually, and by staying absorbed in spiritual activities, let us trust that Jehovah can and will see us through our present circumstances as well as everything else that lies ahead.
