Trust in Jehovah and Live! - TRUSTING IN JEHOVAH RESULTS IN LIFE AND A GLORIOUS FUTURE

To the righteous who trust in him, Jehovah has promised:  "The righteous one will live by  faithfulness," and the earth will be filled with the  knowledge of the glory of Jehovah." (Habakkuk 2:4, 14)  Yes, those who patiently trust in God will be rewarded with life.

At first glance, the promise found at Habakkuk 2:4 might seem to be merely a general statement.  However, the apostle Paul saw Jehovah's assurance as so significant  that he quoted this verse three times! (Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38) Whatever difficulties the righteous one  may suffer, he will by his faith and trust to see the fulfillment of God's purposes. Jehovah tells us to look beyond the present. 

The book of Habakkuk provides a powerful lesson for all of us living in these days. Jehovah extends his promises of life to any righteous person who displays faith and trust in Him.  Let us continue to strengthen our faith and trust in God, no matter what distress and anxiety we face.  Through Habakkuk, Jehovah assures us that He will support and deliver us.  He  kindly asks us to trust in him and his happy and  mild-tempered worshippers. - Matthew 5:5;  Hebrews 10:36-39.
