Monday, January 27

I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand, the One saying to you, “Do not be afraid. I will help you.”—Isa. 41:13.

 

After a traumatic event, there may be days when we feel weak physically and emotionally. Like Elijah, we could feel that it is too hard to get up. We just want to sleep. (1 Ki. 19:5-7) We may need help to keep active in Jehovah’s service. In those moments, Jehovah assures us of his help as expressed in the words of today’s text. King David experienced this help. When faced with trials and enemies, he said to Jehovah: “Your right hand supports me.” (Ps. 18:35) Jehovah often supports us by motivating others to help us. For example, once when David felt weak, his friend Jonathan visited him to provide emotional support and words of encouragement. (1 Sam. 23:16, 17) Similarly, Jehovah chose Elisha to provide practical help to Elijah.—1 Ki. 19:16, 21;2 Ki. 2:2. w24.01 23-24 ¶10-12

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.

Jehovah promises in Isaiah 41:13: “I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand, the One saying to you, ‘Do not be afraid. I will help you.’” This reminds us that Jehovah will always be by our side, ready to help us when we feel overwhelmed or scared.

 

The daily text talks about Elijah, who went through a really hard time. After dealing with the prophets of Baal, Elijah felt so discouraged that he wanted to give up. He was so tired that he just wanted to sleep. But Jehovah didn’t leave him alone. Instead, Jehovah sent an angel to give him food and strength and later sent Elisha to help him with his work. (1 Ki. 19:5-7, 16, 21)

 

King David also felt Jehovah’s support. When David was going through tough times, Jehovah used David’s friend Jonathan to encourage him and help him stay strong. Jonathan reminded David of Jehovah’s love and protection. (1 Sam. 23:16, 17)

 

This week’s midweek meeting shows how Jehovah still uses people to help us today. For example, when someone in the congregation feels sad or tired, Jehovah might use us to encourage them. We can share an encouraging scripture, offer to help with something practical, or just spend time with them. Even small things can make a big difference.

 

And when we feel weak, the daily text reminds us that Jehovah is holding our hand. He often sends others to help us, and we can feel His love through their kindness.

 

Think about this: Is there someone in the congregation who might need help or encouragement? Maybe we can be like Jonathan and take time this week to show them Jehovah’s love. And when others help us, we can remember that it’s really Jehovah reaching out to support us.
