In physics, the word "constant" has a technical meaning: it refers to any number or physical quantity that is invariant and universal. For example, the speed of light in a vacuum is supposed to be invariable or unchanging; regardless of the situation, light apparently travels at roughly 300,000 km/sec.
Just like the universe has numerous constants, we can trust that there's one constant when it comes to facing trials. Jehovah promises that he will always be our helper if we rely on him (Hebrews 13:5-6). We'll now discuss three reasons we have for believing that Jehovah is our unfailing helper.
1. Jehovah hears our cries for help (2 Samuel 22:7)
Jehovah dwelled figuratively and representatively at the tabernacle/temple in Jerusalem above the Ark of the Covenant (Numbers 7:89). That is one reason why David said Jehovah heard him "from his temple." Think of how often Jehovah heard David's cries for help, and he even heard Jonah as he cried from the belly of a fish (Jonah 2:2). One lesson is that Jehovah will hear our cries for help if we place our full trust in him; he hears our cries for help from the antitypical Most Holy, which is heaven itself.
2. Read 2 Samuel 22:14-18. Jehovah is stronger than any enemies we might have. Again, if we think back to David's experiences, his enemies included Absalom, Goliath, Ahithophel and Saul, but Jehovah proved to be stronger than them all. No matter what enemies we face today, we can trust that Jehovah is much stronger than anyone or anything we might face.
3. Jehovah loyally acts in our behalf-Jehovah is not passive but active when it comes to loyalty: he always acts in loyalty toward his loyal ones. Second, the word loyalty assures us that Jehovah will never leave or forsake us: he will be the one constant we can trust as we endure trials. Whether we're facing economic challenges, health difficulties or frontal persecution, Jehovah will remain our invariable constant.
May we fully rely on Jehovah as your helper: our God will never let us down.

As we've learned before, Jehovah often doesn't remove trials but he gives us the strength to cope with them by means of his Word, holy spirit, and our Christian brotherhood. Psalm 55:22-"Never will he allow the righteous one to fall."
May we fully rely on Jehovah as your helper: our God will never let us down.
