I will save you, and you will become a blessing. Do not be afraid! Let your hands be strong.—Zech. 8:13.

 

Jehovah is able and willing to give us strength by means of his holy spirit. (1 Chron. 29:12) It is vital that we draw on that spirit so that we can face any challenge that Satan and his wicked system thrust upon us. (Ps. 18:39; 1 Cor. 10:13) Also, we can be grateful that we have God’s Word, which is a product of holy spirit. Think, too, about the spiritual food based on the Bible that we receive each month. The words of Zechariah 8:9, 13 were spoken while the temple in Jerusalem was being rebuilt, and those words are very fitting for us. We are also made stronger by divine education at our Christian meetings, assemblies, conventions, and in our theocratic schools. That training can help us to have the proper motivation, to set spiritual goals, and to fulfill our many Christian responsibilities. (Ps. 119:32) Do you eagerly seek to gain strength from that type of education? w16.09 1:10, 11

We need to do our part to allow Jehovah's Holy Spirit to strengthen us. This means daily Bible reading, preparing and attending for Christian meetings, personal study, family worship, and supplicating Jehovah in prayer. If we have a regular routine of doing these things we will see his Holy Spirit energize and sustain us.
