Exult and be joyful.—Isa. 65:18.

 

Isaiah reveals why we have every reason to “exult and be joyful” in the spiritual paradise. This environment is a creation of Jehovah. (Isa. 65:18, 19) No wonder he is using us to direct people away from the spiritually parched organizations of this old world and into our beautiful spiritual environment! We are excited about the blessings we enjoy because of being in the truth, and we are moved to tell others about them. (Jer. 31:12) We are also grateful for and excited about the hope we have as residents of the spiritual paradise. The Bible promises that we will “build houses and live in them [and] plant vineyards and eat their fruitage.” We will “not toil for nothing” because we will be “blessed by Jehovah.” He promises us a secure, satisfying life with a real purpose. He knows each one’s needs and “[will] satisfy the desire of every living thing.”—Isa. 65:20-24; Ps. 145:16. w24.04 22-23 ¶11-12

When was the last time you exulted ? I see that as the celebration when my football team scores a great goal or at  a music gig when the music is so good it just blows you away ( those were the days when I was fit enough to go ) but the joy we have from being in Jehovah’s spiritual paradise is more  calm quiet contentment, free from the anxieties about the future. 
We also have a literal paradise to look forward to where he will “ satisfy the [ proper] desires of every living thing.

True security. We can only see the shadows of it now - life insurance, health insurance, homeowner's insurance. None of those are guarantees and none of them prevent tragedy. Imagine a world where you don't have to worry about your toddler drowning in 2 inches of water or being bitten by a poisonous snake. When we will invest in life and get 100% returns.
