"Draw Close to God, and He Will Draw Close to You"- Continue with Communicating With Jehovah

Jehovah also speaks to us by means of "the faithful and discreet slave."  As Jesus foretold, a class of anointed Christians has been appointed to provide spiritual "food at the proper time" during these troublesome last days. (Matthew 24:45-47)  When we read literature prepared to help us acquire accurate knowledge of the Bible  and when we attend Christian meetings and conventions, we are being fed spiritually by that slave class.  Because it is Christ's slave,  we apply Jesus' words:  "Pay attention to how you listen." (Luke 8:18) We listen attentively because we recognize the slave class as one of Jehovah's means of communicating with us.


But what about communicating with God! Can we speak to Jehovah? It is an awe-inspiring thought.  If you were to try to approach the most powerful ruler in your land in order to talk about some personal concern of yours, what would be your chances of success?  In some cases, the very attempt mighty prove dangerous! In the days of Esther and Mordecai, a person could be put to death for approaching  the Persian monarch without a royal invitation to  do so. (Esther 4:10, 11) Now imagine coming from the Sovereign Lord of the universe, compared to whom even the most powerful of humans "are as grasshoppers." (Isaiah 40:22)  Should we feel too intimidated to approach him?  By no means!
