Perhaps you heard the story about the old farmer’s donkey that fell down into a well. The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

After a few vain attempts, the farmer decided the animal was hopelessly stuck and the well needed to be covered up anyway. It just wasn’t worth the time and expense to try to retrieve the poor donkey. So, he invited all his neighbors to come over and help him cover the well with the donkey in it.

— "From of old no one has heard or given ear, Nor has any eye seen a God except you, Who acts in behalf of those who keep in expectation of him."

1 Corinthians 2:9 — But just as it is written: “Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, nor have there been conceived in the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him.”

You can show the proper attitude of expectation, demonstrating by what you do that you are confident that “the day of Jehovah’s anger” will come exactly on time. Your being convinced of that and matching your conviction with fitting actions are in harmony with something Jesus said. He urged the apostles and all anointed Christians: “Let your loins be girded and your lamps be burning, and you yourselves be like men waiting for their master . . . Happy are those slaves whom the master on arriving finds watching! Truly I say to you, He will gird himself and make them recline at the table and will come alongside and minister to them.” (Luke 12:35-37) Yes, a proper waiting attitude shows confidence that Jehovah’s great day will come not a moment later than he has purposed.
