Jehovah protects the faithful.—Ps. 31:23.

 

When we remain close to Jehovah, Satan can do us no lasting harm. (1 John 3:8) In the new world, Jehovah will continue to protect his faithful friends not only from spiritual harm but also from death. (Rev. 21:4) It truly is a great honor to be a guest in Jehovah’s tent—to enjoy a personal and ongoing relationship with him. (Ezek. 37:27) How should we conduct ourselves if we want to continue as his guests? If you were invited to someone’s home, you would want to know what he expects of you. Likewise, we certainly want to know what Jehovah requires of those who want to continue being guests. Our love for Jehovah moves us to do everything in our power “to please him fully.” (Col. 1:10) We should always be in awe of him, never forgetting who he is. Such reverence will help us to avoid conduct that would offend him. We certainly desire “to walk in modesty” with our God.—Mic. 6:8. w24.06 4 ¶8-9

That means the ones who stay close… even when their thoughts wander. Even when their emotions drag. Even when they wish they were doing better than they are.
