As the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.—Isa. 55:9.

 

Much worldly advice is in conflict with the Scriptures. Still, might some of it be more suited to our times? “Wisdom is proved righteous by its works,” said Jesus. (Matt. 11:19) The world has made considerable advancement in technology; however, it has been unable to solve the major problems that stand in the way of happiness, such as war, racism, and crime. And what of its lenient view of morality? Many people acknowledge that this is, not solving, but contributing to family breakdown, illness, and other troubles. On the other hand, Christians who adopt God’s viewpoint are enjoying improved family relationships, the healthful benefits of moral cleanness, and peace among fellow believers on a worldwide scale. (Isa. 2:4; Acts 10:34, 35; 1 Cor. 6:9-11) Does this not show that Jehovah’s thinking is superior to that of the world? w18.11 20 ¶8-10

The world has made considerable advancement in technology; however, it has been unable to solve the major problems that stand in the way of happiness, such as war, racism, and crime.
 

How true.  The world, (knowingly or not) has unsubscribed from Jehovah’s divine education program. How sad.  Are we better with, ... or without his help.  The evidence among 8.7 million who have subscribed to Jehovah way are reaping major benefits.  Happy, peaceful and united despite vastly different circumstances.  Yes, we make mistakes. We keep kicking ourselves, get depressed at times, because we are not perfect ...yet.

What we have now is just a foretaste of happiness to come, And it’s just around the corner.
