Stay Close to Jehovah

IMAGINE that you are walking outside on a stormy day.  The sky gets darker, lightning starts to flash, and it begins to thunder.  Soon the rain pours down.  you search for a place to hide. What a relief when you finally find somewhere safe and dry!

We are in a similar situation today.  World conditions are getting worse. You may wonder, 'Where can I find protection?'  The Bible psalmist wrote:  "I will say to Jehovah: 'You are my refuge and my stronghold, my God in whom I trust.'" (Psalm 91:2)  Yes, Jehovah can give us relief from our problems now, and he gives us a wonder hope for the future.

How can Jehovah protect us?  He can help us to deal with any problems we have, and he is far ore powerful than anyone who may try to harm us.  Even if something bad happens to us now, we can be sure that Jehovah will repair the damage in the future. The Bible encourages us: "Keep yourselves in God's love."  (Jude 2:1)  We need to stay close to Jehovah to receive his help during difficult times. But how can we do that?
