WE DO NOT KNOW HOW JEHOVAH MAY ACT

 We do not always know "the work of the true God." (Read Ecclesiastes 11:5.) That expression refers to what Jehovah causes to happen or what he allows to happen in order to accomplish his will. We cannot know for certain why Jehovah might permit something to occur or exactly how he will act in our behalf. (Psalm 37:5) Such knowledge is an unfathomable to us as is the development of a child in a pregnant woman's womb, something that scientists still do not fully understand.

Our not knowing how Jehovah will act in our behalf could cause us to become indecisive. We might hesitate to make sacrifices to expand our ministry, such as simplifying our life or moving to where there is a greater need for Kingdom publishers. Or we may wonder whether we have God's approval if we do not reach our theocratic goals, if we do not see outstanding result for our hard work in the ministry, of if we face obstacles in a theocratic project.
