Thursday, October 30

To the extent we have made progress, let us go on walking orderly in this same course.—Phil. 3:16.

 

Jehovah will not consider you a failure for not achieving a goal that was out of your reach. (2 Cor. 8:12) View the setback as a learning experience. Keep in mind what you have already achieved. The Bible says that “God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work.” (Heb. 6:10) So neither should you forget. Reflect on what you have already accomplished—be it developing a friendship with Jehovah, speaking to others about him, or getting baptized. Just as you have progressed and reached spiritual goals in the past, you can continue to progress toward your current goal. With Jehovah’s help, you can reach your goal. As you continue working toward your spiritual goal, do not forget to enjoy seeing how Jehovah helps and blesses you along the way. (2 Cor. 4:7) If you do not give up, you will receive even greater blessings.—Gal. 6:9. w23.0531 ¶16-18

Jehovah never measures worth by what you can’t do — only by what you try to do with love and faith. When something feels beyond reach, He sees the effort, not the outcome. Every step you’ve already taken — your prayers, your preaching, your endurance — proves He’s been walking with you all along. Keep moving forward, not to prove your strength, but to witness His; because the same power that helped you begin will help you finish.
