Let's Examine the Scriptures Every Day 2021
Tuesday, November 9, 2021
Pray constantly (1 Thess. 5:17).
We can address Jehovah with respect anytime, anywhere. And he's never too busy to listen to us; always give us your attention. When we understand that he hears our prayers, we are drawn to him. The writer of a psalm said: “I love Jehovah because he hears my voice” (Ps. 116: 1). Our Father not only hears our prayers, but He also answers them. The apostle John gives us the following assurance: "We can ask him for anything that is in accordance with his will and he listens to us" (1 John 5:14, 15). Of course, Jehovah may respond to us in ways we do not expect. Since he knows what is best for us, sometimes his answer is no or sometimes his answer is to wait a while (2 Cor. 12: 7-9). Jehovah gives us what we need. He does the same thing that He commands parents to do (1 Tim. 5: 8). She takes care of the material needs of her children. He does not want us to worry about food, clothing, or shelter (Matt. 6:32, 33; 7:11). Since he loves us, he has even made sure that in the future we also have everything we need. w20.02 5 pars. 10-12
Even though we have turned away from Jehovah, why can we be sure that he wants us as his children?
Although we are imperfect, Jehovah wants us to be in his family and does not see us as a burden. We may disappoint him or drift away from him for a while, but he will never give us up. With the parable of the lost son, Jesus showed how much Jehovah loves us (Luke 15: 11-32). The father in the parable never gave up hope that his son would return. And when he did, the father received him with open arms. If we have turned away from Jehovah and have repented, we can be sure that our Father wants to welcome us.
What will Jehovah do to repair the damage done by Adam?
Our Father will repair all the damages that Adam caused. When he rebelled, Jehovah decided to adopt 144,000 people who would be kings and priests in heaven with his Son. Jesus and these rulers will help obedient human beings become perfect in the new world. After passing a final test of obedience, God will give them eternal life. Our Father will then feel the satisfaction of seeing that the Earth is full of his perfect children. Won't it be wonderful?
How has Jehovah shown us that he loves us deeply, and what will the next article discuss?
Jehovah has shown that he loves us deeply. He is the best Father we can have. He listens to our prayers and gives us what we need in a material and spiritual sense. It educates and helps us. In addition, He has extraordinary blessings in store for us. Isn't it moving us to know that our Father loves us and cares for us? The next article will look at the ways in which we, as your children, can thank you for your love for us.
