Once upon a time, a man called Benjamin lived in a small, hardworking community. Benjamin was a deeply religious man, who lived by the words of the Bible and endeavored to praise Jehovah with every breath he drew.

While others in his town sought reassurance and protection from the local prince, Benjamin knew better. He assessed that relying on a mortal, no matter how seemingly powerful, was not prudent. For he understood that mortal men were ephemeral, their thoughts and plans ceasing to exist once their breath left them, returning them to the earth from which they were formed.

Instead, Benjamin found his solace, hope, and refuge in Jehovah, the God of Jacob. He saw God as the existential truth, the supreme creator of the heavens, the Earth, the vast seas, and everything within. He recognized God’s eternal sustenance, cherishing the justice He ensured for the oppressed, His provision for the starving, and His liberation for those unjustly imprisoned.

Benjamin witnessed God’s miracles every day. The blind regained their sight, their eyes opened by the divine touch. Those bowed down by the crushing weight of the world were uplifted and strengthened. He saw God’s love for the righteous, in the way He preserved the sojourners, defended the fatherless and offered solace to the widows. Benjamin had no doubt that the God of Jacob punishes the wicked, turning their plans and ways upside down.

As time passed, Benjamin grew old. With the final shreds of his strength, in his raspy, feeble voice, Benjamin sang praises of Jehovah. He reminded his people that Jehovah would reign supreme across all generations. He spoke fervently to them, expressing his unwavering faith in God.

He urged them, “Trust not in the princes, nor the son of man, but in Jehovah. For He is the one who truly provides, protects, and loves. He is a refuge for the oppressed, sustainer for the hungry, and liberator for those unjustly held in the clutches of despair. God is our only hope, our shield, and our everlasting salvation. Praise ye Jehovah, now and forever. He is our God, O people of Zion, and He shall reign supreme from generation to generation.”

And so, Benjamin passed from Earth, leaving behind the echoes of his faith and a community touched by his unfaltering devotion to Jehovah. His lessons of trust and praise of Jehovah are still whispered through the winds, carried through ages as a testament to his divine faith.
