I, Jehovah, am your God, . . . the One guiding you in the way you should walk.—Isa. 48:17.

 

Psalm 15 ends with the promise: “Whoever does these things will never be shaken.” Here the psalmist reveals the main objective behind God’s requirements. Jehovah wants us to be happy. So he gives us direction that will bring us his blessing and protection. Jehovah’s approved guests can look forward to a bright future. The faithful anointed will have admission into the “many dwelling places” that Jesus prepared for them in heaven. (John 14:2) Those with the earthly hope look forward to what Revelation 21:3 promises. Surely, we all feel highly honored to have received Jehovah’s warm invitation to be his friends, to be everlasting guests in his tent!—Ps. 15:1-5. w24.06 13 ¶19-20

What stays with me is that Jehovah doesn’t just hand out instructions from a distance—He guides us while we’re already moving. We’re walking, sometimes unsure, sometimes tired, and He steps in with direction at the right moment. That tells me He expects effort and trust, not perfection. Psalm 15 makes it clear that His standards aren’t there to trap us or restrict life; they’re there to give us footing. I’ve found that when I follow His way, my problems don’t vanish, but I’m steadier inside them. And that says a great deal about whose guidance actually holds up under pressure.
