How Jehovah Helps Us to Endure With Joy - JEHOVAH GUIDES US

 Read Isaiah 30:20. 21. When the Babylonian army laid siege to Jerusalem for a year and a half, the distress that the people experienced became as familiar to them as bread and water. But according to verses 20 and 21, Jehovah promised the Jews that if they repented and changed their behavior, he would come to their rescue.  Referring to Jehovah as their "Grand Instructor," Isaiah promised the people that Jehovah would teach them how to worship Him acceptably. Those words were fulfilled when the Jews were released from captivity. Jehovah proved to be a Grand Instructor for them, and under his guidance, his people succeeded in restoring pure worship. We are blessed to have Jehovah as our Grand Instructor today.

Continuing his illustrative language, Isaiah describes us as students who are being taught by Jehovah in two ways. First, Isaiah states:  "You will see your Grand Instructor with your own  eyes."  In this illustration, the Instructor is depicted as standing in from on his students.  We are privilege to benefit from  his instruction today.  How does Jehovah instruct us?  He does so by means of his organization.  How thankful we are for the clear guidance we receive from that source!  The instruction given at our congregation meetings and conventions as well as through the publications, broadcasts, and many other means helps us during challenging times to endure with joy.
