Sunday, November 9You have taken holdof my right hand. . . .You will take meeven to glory.—Ps.73:23, 24.How does Jehovah do this? Jehovah leads his humble servants to glory by honoring them in numerous ways. He blesses them with an understanding of his will. (1 Cor. 2:7) He bestows upon those who listen to his word and obey him the honor of a close personal relationship with him. (Jas. 4:8) Jehovah also entrusts his servants with the glorious treasure of the Christian ministry. (2 Cor. 4:1, 7) And this ministry leads to glory. Faithful ones are honored with a good name with Jehovah, and they are likely to be well spoken of by other servants of God. (1 Sam. 2:30; Prov. 11:16; 22:1) What about the future of those who “hope in Jehovah and keep his way”? They are promised: “He [Jehovah] will exalt you to take possession of the earth. When the wicked ones are cut off, you will see it.” (Ps. 37:34) They look forward to experiencing the incomparable honor of receiving everlasting life.—Ps. 37:29. w13 2/15 4:3-5
