We know that all creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now.—Rom. 8:22.




Since 1914, millions have chosen to become willing subjects of God’s enthroned King, Christ Jesus. They refuse to be supporters of Satan’s world. Instead, they use their lives and assets in support of God’s Kingdom, serving its interests. (Rom. 14:7, 8) Soon Christ will destroy Satan’s wicked system. Christ’s perfect government will free the earth of sin and sorrow. It will remove all traces of rebellion against Jehovah’s rightful sovereignty. Loyal servants of God will be in a position to become permanent residents of the earthly Paradise. (Rev. 21:1-5) In a full sense, creation will then have been “set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God.”—Rom. 8:21. w12 12/15 3:4, 5, 7

He judges and carries on war in righteousness.—Rev. 19:11.

Soon all present-day nations will face Jesus Christ and his heavenly forces in the final battle against God’s rulership, which battle is “called in Hebrew Har–Magedon.” (Rev. 16:14, 16; 19:12-16) Over 2,500 years ago, the prophet Daniel was inspired to foretell the outcome for human governments in conflict with God’s purpose, writing: “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite.” (Dan. 2:44) Man-made national boundaries will no longer exist. Such a thrilling prospect should motivate all of us to continue praising and honoring our Creator, Jehovah God, as best we can. w12 12/15 4:16, 17

Be courageous and strong . . . You will bring the sons of Israel into the land.—Deut. 31:23.




The Israelites were about to take possession of Canaan. To succeed as their leader, Joshua needed God-given wisdom. He also had to exercise faith in Jehovah and prove to be courageous and strong. The wisdom, courage, and faith shown by Joshua during the long conquest of Canaan must have strengthened the Israelites. In addition to valor in battle, however, they needed what might be called quiet courage to do what Joshua urged them to do. At the end of his life, in his farewell address, he said: “You must be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses by never turning away from it.” (Josh. 23:6) We too need the courage to obey Jehovah at all times. This includes occasions when mere men demand that we act contrary to God’s will. (Acts 4:18-20; 5:29) If we prayerfully rely on Jehovah, he will help us to take such a courageous stand. w13 1/15 1:5, 6

There is no searching out of [Jehovah’s] understanding.—Isa. 40:28.




One way to cultivate humility is to ponder over the greatness of Jehovah in comparison to us. Commenting on certain aspects of Jehovah’s magnificence, the apostle Paul wrote: “O the depth of God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments are and past tracing out his ways are!” (Rom. 11:33) Although mankind’s knowledge of many things has increased greatly since Paul wrote those words, that statement still holds true. No matter how much we know, it should humble us to realize that there is no limit to what can be learned about Jehovah, his works, and his ways. It is noteworthy that Jehovah himself displays humility. Consider this: “We are God’s fellow workers.” (1 Cor. 3:9) Imagine that! Jehovah, the God of unmatched greatness, dignifies us in this way by giving us an opportunity to carry out our ministry using his Word, the Bible. w12 11/15 3:4, 6

Jehovah is my light and my salvation.—Ps. 27:1.




The metaphor “Jehovah is my light” draws attention to the fact that Jehovah frees us from ignorance and spiritual darkness. A literal light may reveal a danger or an obstacle on our pathway, but it does not remove it. We must act wisely on what we see. In a similar way, Jehovah reveals to us the basic meaning of world events. He alerts us to the dangers of this system of things. He provides us with Bible principles that always work, but we must apply what we learn. When we do, we can act with more wisdom than either our enemies or our teachers. (Ps. 119:98, 99, 130) David’s words at Psalm 27:1 show that he must have recalled how Jehovah had delivered, or saved, him on previous occasions. (1 Sam. 17:37, 49, 50; 18:11, 12; 19:10) Jehovah will again become to his servants what he was to David—a salvation. How? By delivering his worshippers through the coming “great tribulation.”—Rev. 7:14; 2 Pet. 2:9. w12 7/15 3:3, 4

Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians.—Acts 7:22.




This education was likely intended to prepare Moses for a career in Pharaoh’s court. He could have become prominent in the most powerful government of the day, having the luxuries, privileges, and pleasures that such a position would afford him. But was enjoyment of these things Moses’ objective? Because of the training that he received from his real parents early in life, Moses likely knew what Jehovah had promised his ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Moses exercised faith in those promises. He must have thought carefully about his future and his loyalty to Jehovah. So when the time came to choose between being an Egyptian prince or an Israelite slave, what did he decide? Moses chose “to be ill-treated with the people of God rather than to have the temporary enjoyment of sin.” (Heb. 11:24-26) Later, he followed Jehovah’s guidance regarding how he should use his life.—Ex. 3:2, 6-10. w12 6/15 3:5, 6

Come . . . out from the snare of the Devil.—2 Tim. 2:26.

The Devil stalks Jehovah’s servants. His goal is not necessarily to destroy them, as a big-game hunter kills prey. Rather, the Devil’s main goal is to capture his quarry alive and use the person as he sees fit. (2 Tim. 2:24-26) To catch prey alive, a trapper may use a snare of some sort. He may try to get the animal to come out into the open where he can capture it with a noose. Or he may use a hidden trap that has a trigger and takes the animal by surprise. The Devil uses similar snares to catch God’s servants alive. If we want to avoid being caught, we must be alert and heed warning signs indicating that one of Satan’s snares, or traps, is nearby. Three of the traps that the Devil has used with a measure of success are (1) uncontrolled speech, (2) fear and pressure, and (3) excessive guilt. w12 8/15 3:1, 2
