Almighty Yet Considerate - Conclusion of -A FEAR-INSPIRING BUT CONSIDERATE SAVIOR

We see from this account that Jehovah is a God of order-a quality that helps us to feel safe and secure.  (1 Corinthians 14:33) Jehovah also shows himself to be a loving shepherd who cares for his people in practical ways.  He tenderly embraces them, protecting them from their enemies.  How reassuring these  truths are to us as we face the end of the present system of things! - Proverbs 1:33.

Today, too, Jehovah cares for his people as a group-spiritually and physically.  He will continue to do so during this fast-approaching great tribulation.  (Revelation 7:9, 10)  Hence, whether young or old, sound in body or disabled, God's people will not panic or cower in fear during the tribulation.  In fact, they will do the very opposite!  They will bear in mind those words of Jesus Christ:  "Stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near."  (Luke 21:28)  They will maintain that confidence even in the face of the attack by Gog-a coalition of nations that will wield far more power than did ancient Pharaoh.  (Ezekiel 38:2, 24-26)  Why will God's people remain confident?  They know that Jehovah does not change. He will again prove to be a caring and considerate Savior. -Isaiah 26:3, 20. 

The examples in this articles are just some of the many that illustrate the kind and thoughtful way that Jehovah cares for, directs, and delivers his people. As you meditate on such accounts, take note of details that reveal even subtle aspects of Jehovah's qualities.  Doing so will impress those beautiful qualities more deeply on your mind and heart, strengthening your love for God and your faith in him.  The next article will look at ways that we can imitate Jehovah in showing consideration for others.  We will focus on  the family, the Christian congregation, and the field ministry.
