"YOU WILL SUCCEED" - Conclusion

 Carmen, who lives in Mozambique, thought that higher education was the key to success. She enrolled in a university and studied architecture. "I loved what I was learning," She wrote: "But it took so much of my time and energy. I was at school from 7:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. It was hard to get to meetings, and my spirituality suffered. Deep within me, I realized that I was trying to serve two masters." (Matthew 6:24) She prayed about her situation and did research in or publications. She added:  "After receiving sound counsel from mature brothers and from my mother, I decided to leave university to serve Jehovah full-time. This helped me to make the best choices in my life and I have no regrets." 


Moses and David loved Jehovah and deeply appreciated the value of obeying him. In their parting words, they encouraged their listeners to follow their example by sticking with Jehovah their God. Both of them also warned that those who would leave Jehovah would lose is favor as well as the blessings he had promised them. Their advice is valuable for us today. Centuries later, yet another servant of Jehovah showed the value of faithfulness to God.
