Praised be the God . . . who encourages us in all our trials.—2 Cor. 1:3, 4, ftn.

 

Ever since humankind fell into sin and imperfection, Jehovah has proved that he is a God who gives encouragement. Immediately after the rebellion in Eden, he gave Adam’s future descendants reason to take courage. The prophetic promise written at Genesis 3:15 would give humankind hope that eventually “the original serpent,” Satan the Devil, and all his evil works would be destroyed. (Rev. 12:9; 1 John 3:8) Jehovah’s servant Noah lived in an ungodly world where the only people who worshipped Jehovah were members of his family. With violence and sexual perversion rampant all around him, Noah could have become discouraged. (Gen. 6:4, 5, 9, 11; Jude 6) But Jehovah told Noah that He was going to put an end to that wicked world and instructed him about what he must do to ensure his family’s safety. (Gen. 6:13-18) Jehovah proved to be for Noah a God of encouragement. w18.04 15 ¶1-2

Jehovah is a God of comfort and a God of encouragement. Even though we fall into sinful course by Adam and Eve, Jehovah promises by his prophecy that the wickedness will be done away. We also feel discourage like Noah but we can learn to how Jehovah helped Noah. He put an end to the wickness and he protected his family.
