Almighty Yet Considerate

"[Jehovah] well knows how we are formed, remembering that we are dust." - PSALM 103:14. 


POWERFUL and influential people often "lord it over" others, even dominating them. (Matthew 20:25; Ecclesiastes 8:9)  What a contrast with Jehovah! Even though he is the Almighty, he is most considerate of imperfect humans.  He is kind and thoughtful.  He shows regard for our feelings and is attentive to our needs.  "Remembering that we are dust,"  he never asks more of us than we are able to give. -Psalm 103:13, 14.

 The Bible provides many examples of  the considerate way in which Jehovah deals with his servants.  Let us focus on three.  Firs, the thoughtful way that God helped young Samuel to deliver a  judgment message to High Priest Eli; second the patient manner in which Jehovah handled Moses' objection to serving as leader of the Israelites; and third, the considerate way  that God led the Israelites out of Egypt.  As we reflect on these examples, let us note what they teach us about Jehovah and see lessons we can apply.
