"Happy Are Those Who Keep Their Integrity" to Jehovah

"Happy are those who keep integrity . . . , who walk in the law of Jehovah." - PSALM 119:1.

RIGHT now, our work is restricted or banned in over 30 lands around the world. In some of those lands, the authorities have imprisoned our brothers and sisters. What did they do wrong? Nothing, as far as Jehovah is concerned.  All they have done is read and study the Bible, share their beliefs with others, and attend meetings with fellow believers.  They have also refused to take sides in political matters.  Despite intense opposition, these faithful servants of God have maintained their integrity -showing unbreakable devotion to Jehovah.  And they are happy  for doing just that!

You have likely seen pictures of some of these courageous Witnesses and noticed their smiling faces.  They are joyful because they know that Jehovah is pleased with them for keeping their integrity to to him.  (1 Chronicles 29:17a)  Jesus said: "Happy are those who have been persecuted for righteousness sake . . .Rejoiced and be overjoyed, since  your reward is great." - MATTHEW 5:10-12.
