What does Jehovah see when he looks at his servants on earth?
He is aware of our joys and our sorrows. When he sees that we are serving him to the best of our ability despite coping with painful emotions, how pleased he is!
More than that, he is eager to support and comfort us. Psalm 147:3 says that Jehovah ‘binds up the wounds’ of the brokenhearted. Jehovah is here pictured as tenderly caring for those who have been injured emotionally.
What must we do to benefit from Jehovah’s care? Consider an illustration. A skilled doctor can do much to help an injured person to heal.
To benefit, though, the injured person must carefully follow the doctor’s instructions. Jehovah, by means of his Word, speaks to those who are suffering emotionally and gives them loving advice.
