Life Without Suffering—A Trustworthy Promise
“[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”—Revelation 21:4.
Life Without Suffering - a Trustworthy Promise

He will deliver the poor one crying for help.—Ps. 72:12.

He will deliver the poor one crying for help.—Ps. 72:12.
How heartwarming are those words, apparently penned by King David of ancient Israel! Years before writing them, he experienced remorse after committing adultery with Bath-sheba. At that time, David begged God: “According to the abundance of your mercies wipe out my transgressions. . . . My sin is in front of me constantly. . . . Look! With error I was brought forth with birth pains, and in sin my mother conceived me.” (Ps. 51:1-5) Mercifully, Jehovah takes into account our inherited sinful condition. Jehovah understands our lamentable situation. As foretold, however, God’s anointed King “will feel sorry for the lowly one and the poor one, and the souls of the poor ones he will save.” (Ps. 72:13) How will relief be provided? Psalm 72 tells us. Composed regarding the kingship of David’s son Solomon, this song provides foregleams of how the rule of God’s Son, Jesus Christ, will relieve mankind of distress. w10 8/15 4:1, 2

Jehovah is deserving of our trust
Psalms 25:1-5
To you, O Jehovah, I raise my very soul.
2 O my God, in you have I put my trust;
O may I not be ashamed.
May my enemies not exult over me.
O may I not be ashamed.
May my enemies not exult over me.
3 Also, none of those hoping in you will be ashamed.
They will be ashamed who are dealing treacherously without success.
They will be ashamed who are dealing treacherously without success.
4 Make me know your own ways, O Jehovah;
Teach me your own paths.
Teach me your own paths.
5 Make me walk in your truth and teach me,
For you are my God of salvation.
In you I have hoped all day long.
For you are my God of salvation.
In you I have hoped all day long.
Psalms 91:14,15
Because on me he has set his affection,
I shall also provide him with escape.
I shall protect him because he has come to know my name.
I shall also provide him with escape.
I shall protect him because he has come to know my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I shall answer him.
I shall be with him in distress.
I shall rescue him and glorify him.
I shall be with him in distress.
I shall rescue him and glorify him.
Just as a signature validates a check, God’s personal name—Jehovah—guarantees all the promises recorded in the Bible.
THE wise course is to trust in God. “The one listening to me,” he says, “will reside in security and be undisturbed from dread of calamity.” (Proverbs 1:33)
