SAMSON TOOK ADVANTAGE OF JEHOVAH'S PROVISIONS - Conclusion

 We too need to look to Jehovah for help no matter what talents or abilities we have accomplished in his service. We should modestly accept the fact that true success is possible only when we rely on Jehovah.  Just as Samson was energized when he drank the water that Jehovah provided, we will be spiritually strengthened when we take advantage of all the provisions Jehovah makes available to us. - MATTHEW 11:28.

Consider the example of Aleksey, one of our Russian brothers who is enduring serious persecution.  What has helped him to stay strong under very trying circumstances? He and his wife have established a good spiritual routine. He says: "I try to keep up with my spiritual routing of personal study and daily Bible reading. Every morning my wife and I discuss the daily text and pray to Jehovah together." What does this teach us? Rather than depend on ourselves, we should rely on Jehovah. How By building up our faith through a good routine of personal Bible study and other theocratic activities. Jehovah, in turn, will richly bless or efforts to serve him.  He strengthened Samson, and He can certainly strengthen us.
