JEHOVAH GUIDES US

 Read Psalm 48:14. Jehovah does not expect us to guide ourselves. How does he lead his loyal worshippers today? One way he does so it through the pages of the Bible. (Psalm 119:105) By means of his inspired Word, Jehovah help us to make decisions and cultivate qualities that lead to greater happiness now and eternal life in the future.  For example, he teaches us to let go of resentment, to be honest in all we do, and to love others intensely from the heart. (Psalm 37:8; Hebrews 13:18; 1 Peter 1:22) When we display such godly qualities, we become better parents, marriage mates, and friends. 

In addition, Jehovah included accounts in his Word of real people who had trials and feelings similar to ours. (1 Corinthians 10:13; James 5:17) When we read these true-life accounts and apply the lessons we learn. we benefit in two ways. First, we come to realize that we are not alone-others have faced similar situations and endured them successfully.  (1 Peter 5:9) And second, we learn how to cope with our trials. - Romans 15:4.
