TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD

1. “Jehovah Is . . . the One Who Rescues Me”

(10 min.)

Jehovah is like a crag, a stronghold, and a shield (Ps 18:1, 2; w09 5/1 14 ¶4-5)

Jehovah hears our cries for help (Ps 18:6; w22.11 46:5)

Jehovah acts in our behalf (Ps 18:16, 17; w22.04 1:1)

Collage: David sitting by a campfire and meditating on the ways that Jehovah had helped him. 1. He fights an attacking bear. 2. He kneels next to a dead lion. 3. He holds a sword and stands over Goliath, who is lying face down on the ground.

Jehovah might choose to remove a trial as he occasionally did for David. However, often God makes “the way out” by providing what we need so that we can endure the trial successfully.—1Co 10:13.
