The word of God is alive and exerts power.—Heb. 4:12.

When Paul wrote the above, he was not referring specifically to God’s written Word, the Bible.
The context shows that he was referring to God’s word of promise.Paul’s point was that
God does not make a promise and then forget about it.

Jehovah established this through the prophet Isaiah:

“My word . . . will not return tome without results, but it will. . . have certain success in that for which I have sent it.â€

(Isa. 55:11)

Thus, there is no need for us to become impatient when things do not move ahead as quickly
as we might wish. Jehovah ‘keeps working’ with a view to bringing his purpose to a successful conclusion.


(John 5:17)

Many faithful servants of God never expected to grow old in this system of things.
Still, they have not given in to discouragement . (Ps. 92:14) They realize that
God’s word of promise is not a dead issue—it is alive, and Jehovah is working toward its fulfillment.
