"Those Seeking Jehovah Will Lack Nothing Good" - PREPARE NOW FOR THE FUTURE

 What can we do now to prepare for the future?  First of all, we need to have a proper view of material things, realizing that one day we will have to part with what we have. We also need to be content  and to find our greatest joy in our relationship with  Jehovah. The better we get to know our God, the more convinced we will be of his ability to protect us when God of Magog attacks.

Consider what else helped David and can help us to prepare for trials.  David said:  "Taste and see that Jehovah is good; happy is the man who take refuge in him." (Psalm 34:8) Those words explain why David knew that he could count on Jehovah's support.  David often relied on Jehovah and his God never disappointed him.  When young, David  faced the Philistine giant Goliath adn told that formiddable warrior:  "This  very day Jehovah will surrender  you into my hand." (1 Samuel 17:46)  Later, David was in the service of a king, Saul, who tried a number of times to murder him. But "Jehovah was with" David.  (1 Samuel 18:12)  Because David  had experienced Jehovah's help in the past, David knew he could count on Him during his present trials.
