DERIVE YOUR STRENGTH FROM YOUR HOPE FOR THE FUTURE - Conclusion

 How can you strengthen your hope? If, for example you have the hope to live forever on earth, read about the Bible's description of the Paradise and meditate on it. (Isaiah 25:8; 32:16-18) Reflect on what life will be like in the new world. Imagine yourself there. Whom do you see? What sounds do you hear? How do you feel? To spark your imagination, look at artwork in our publications that depicts Paradise or watch a music video, such as the New World to Come, Just Around the Corner, or Imagine the Time.  If we keep the hope of the new world firmly in mind, our problems will be "momentary and light. (2 Corinthians 4:17) Through the hope Jehovah has given you, he will make you strong. 


Even when we feel weak, "by God we will gain power." (Psalm 108:13) Jehovah has already provided what you need to receive strength from him. So when you need help to fulfill an assignment, to endure a trial, or maintain your joy, approach Jehovah in earnest prayer and seek his guidance through personal study. Accept encouragement from your Christian brothers and sisters. Keep your hope clear and bright.  Then you will "strengthen with all power according to [God's] glorious might so that you may endure fully with patience and joy." - COLOSSIANS 1:11.
