You will see your Grand Instructor.—Isa. 30:20.

 

As our “Grand Instructor,” Jehovah provides examples in his Word in order to teach us. (Isa. 30:21) We learn as we meditate on Bible accounts about those who showed godly qualities. We also learn as we examine what happened to those who failed to show such fine qualities. (Ps. 37:37; 1 Cor. 10:11) Reflect on what happened to King Saul. He started out as a modest young man. He was aware of his limitations and even hesitated to take on more responsibility. (1 Sam. 9:21; 10:20-22) Yet, in time Saul became presumptuous. He revealed this bad trait soon after he became king. On one occasion, he lost patience while waiting for the prophet Samuel and offered up a burnt sacrifice even though he was not authorized to do so. As a result, Saul lost Jehovah’s favor and eventually the kingship. (1 Sam. 13:8-14) We are wise if we learn from this warning example and avoid acting presumptuously. w20.08 10 ¶10-11

His Word! Everything we see there is to teach us, to correct us, and to Inspire Within Us, a stronger desire to serve our God Jehovah more fully.
