The faithful angels are outstanding examples of endurance. They have put up with injustice and wickedness for thousands of years. They saw Satan and many other spirit creatures who once served alongside them rebel against Jehovah. (Genesis 3:6; 6:1, 2; Jude 6) The Bible tells us of one faithful angel who experienced direct opposition from a powerful demon. (Daniel 10:13) Furthermore, throughout human history, the angels have seen only a small minority of people pursue true worship. Despite all that, these loyal angels continue serving Jehovah with joy and zeal. They know that at the right time, God will remove all injustice.
How can we imitate the angels' endurance?
Like the angels, we may witness injustices or face opposition. But we share their conviction that at the right time, God will remove all wickedness. So like the faithful angels, we do "not give up in doing what is fine." (Galatians 6:9) And God promises to help us endure. (1 Corinthians 10:13) We can pray to Jehovah for his spirit, which produces patience and joy. (Galatians 5:22; Colossians 1:11) What if you face opposition? Trust, fully in Jehovah, and do not be alarmed. Jehovah will always support and strengthen you. - HEBREWS 13:6.
