Cherish Your Privilege of Working With Jehovah

"We are God's fellow workers." - 1 CORINTHIANS 3:9.

JEHOVAH enjoys his work.  (Psalm 135:6; John 5:1)  He wants angels and humans to enjoy their work as well, so he assigns them work that is enjoyable and satisfying. Jehovah involved his firstborn Son in His work of creation. (Read Colossians 1:15, 16)  The Bible tells us that before he came to earth, Jesus was with God in heaven "as a master worker." - PROVERBS 8:30.

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible explains that Jehovah has always assigned work to the angels.  Adam and Eve sinned and to leave Paradise, God gave the angels an assignment.  In Genesis, we read that God "posted at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning constantly to guard the way to the tree of life. (Genesis 3:24) And in Revelation, we learn that Jehovah  "sent his angel to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place," or  "to reveal the future. - REVELATION 22:6.
