I have strength for all things through him who gives me power (Philippians 4:13).

We do not have the power to give strength to others as Jehovah does. Even so, we can use our energy to help others. For example, if a brother is very old or sick, we can run an errand for him or help him with household chores. We could also volunteer to help with cleaning and maintaining the Kingdom Hall.

Furthermore, let us not forget that words have power, and we can use them to strengthen others. Do you know someone who would greatly benefit from a few words of appreciation or comfort? If so, why not take the initiative? You could visit, call, or send a card or a message. What you say doesn't need to be elaborate; it should come from the heart. A few simple, sincere words may be all that someone needs to remain faithful for another day or to lift their spirits. (Prov. 12:25; Eph. 4:29) w24.09 28 pars. 8-10

What can we do because Jehovah gives us strength? (Philippians 2:13)

Jehovah gives us strength. He has unlimited power and he loves to share it with his faithful servants (read Philippians 2:13). Have you ever asked him to give you strength to resist temptation, to endure a difficult trial, or simply to handle your daily activities? When Jehovah responded by giving you strength, you probably felt like the apostle Paul, who wrote: “I have strength for everything thanks to the one who gives me power” (Philippians 4:13).

What does Jehovah do with his wisdom?

Jehovah gives us wisdom. The disciple James wrote: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him constantly ask God for it.” He added: “For he gives generously to all and without criticism.” (James 1:5, footnote) As this verse indicates, Jehovah does not keep his wisdom to himself but generously shares it with others. Moreover, he does so “without reproach” or “without criticism,” that is, he never makes us feel bad for admitting that we need his guidance. On the contrary, he encourages us to ask him for it. (Proverbs 2:1-6)

What opportunities do we have to share what we know?

And what about us? Can we imitate Jehovah and share what we know? (Psalm 32:8) Absolutely! We have countless opportunities to do so. For example, we teach new ones how to preach. Elders patiently help ministerial servants and other baptized brothers and sisters with their duties in the congregation. And many experienced brothers and sisters in construction and maintenance help train others to do work at Kingdom Halls and other facilities.
