"Hope in Jehovah"

 "Hope in Jehovah; be courageous and strong of heart." - PSALM 27:14.

JEHOVAH has given a beautiful hope to all those who love him. Soon he will bring an end to sickness, sorrow, and death.  (Revelation 21:3, 4) He will help "the meek"  who are hoping in him to transform the earth into a paradise.  (Psalm 37:9-11) And he will make it possible  for each one os us to have warm, personal relationship with him that will be even more wonderful than what we enjoy now. What marvelous hope that is!  But what basis do we have for believing that God's promises will come true? Jehovah never breaks a promise. We thus have good reason to "hope in Jehovah." (Psalm27:14)  We show this by waiting patiently and joyfully for our God to bring his purpose to completion. - ISAIAH 55:10, 11. 

Jehovah has already proved that he keep his promises.  Consider one outstanding example.  In the book of Revelaton, Jehovah promised that in our day, he would bring together people out of every nation and trible and tongue, and he would unite them in pure worship. Today, that remarkable group of people is known as the "great crowd." (Revelation 7:9, 10) Although consisting of men and women, and children of different races, languages, and backgrounds, that diverse group forms  a peaceful, united brotherhood.  (Psalm 133:1; John 10:16)  Those of the great crowd are also zealous preachers . They are always ready to share their hope of a better world with anyone who will listen.  (Matthew 28:19, 20' Revelation 14:6, 7; 22:17)  If you are a part of the great crow, no doubt the hope of better thins is very precious to you.
