Footnote

a When we think of someone who endured severe trials, we often think of Job. What can we learn from the experiences of that faithful man? We learn that Satan cannot force us to abandon Jehovah. We also learn that Jehovah is always aware of every situation. And just as Jehovah brought Job’s trials to an end, He will one day bring all our suffering to an end. If we show by our actions that we are absolutely convinced of these facts, we are among those who truly “hope in Jehovah.”
