# Introduction

Have you ever been proud of someone? Maybe a parent is proud of their child for standing up for themselves at school. Maybe friends are proud of each other for attaining some great accomplishment. We have many reasons to be proud of the people we support, but have you ever thought of being proud of our God? A bit of an interesting thought, isn't it. To be "proud" of Jehovah. Jehovah does not *need* our support for anything, he doesn't struggle to attain some difficult goal, so how can we be proud of Jehovah, our God?

Have you ever seen a group of kids sitting together, watching one of their fathers do something cool, and one of the kids leans over says "yea, that's my dad". God’s worshippers have every reason to feel similarly about Jehovah. Jehovah has the ability, and the desire to save those hoping in him.
