Jehovah Brings Relief and Blessings

What a blessing that must have been for Elijah! To feel such strength, vitality, and stamina-perhaps even more than he had ever felt in his youth-must have proved a thrilling experience. We might recall the prophecies that guarantee perfect health and vigor to faithful ones in the coming earthly Paradise. (Read Isaiah 35:6; Lukw 23:43) As Elijah raced along that wet road, he surely knew that he had the approval of his Father, the only true God, Jehovah! 

Jehovah is eager to bless us. Let us reach out for his blessings; they are worth every effort we can make. Like Elijah, we need to be watchful, carefully weighing the powerful evidence showing that Jehovah is about to act in these dangerous and urgent times. Like Elijah, we have reason to place complete confidence in the promises of Jehovah, "the God of truth." - PSALMS 31:5.
