In many religious beliefs, including those of Jehovah's Witnesses, it is understood that Jehovah (God) provides for humanity in various ways, including the following material things:
-
Natural Resources: Jehovah is believed to have created the earth and all that is in it, which includes resources like water, air, soil, and minerals that sustain life.
-
Food: The provision of food, both plant and animal, is seen as a gift from Jehovah to nourish and sustain humans.
-
Shelter: The ability to create homes and find shelter is viewed as a blessing from Jehovah, allowing for safety and comfort.
-
Family and Community: Relationships with family and friends are regarded as valuable gifts, providing support, love, and companionship.
-
Health: Good health and the ability to care for oneself are often seen as blessings from Jehovah, enabling individuals to fulfill their potential and serve others.
-
Skills and Talents: The abilities and talents that individuals possess are viewed as provided by Jehovah, enabling them to contribute to society and improve their own lives.
-
Wealth and Material Goods: While the accumulation of wealth is often viewed with caution in religious teachings, the means to earn a living and have material possessions can be viewed as gifts from God to be used responsibly.
These material provisions are usually understood within the context of a broader spiritual framework, emphasizing that while material things are important, spiritual well-being and a relationship with Jehovah are considered even more valuable.
