'The Peace of God . . . Surpasses All Understanding' - Conclusion of EXAMPLES OF JEHOVAH DOING THE UNEXPECTED

Granted, we do not expect that Jehovah will miraculously take away all our problems before the promised new world; nor do we demand that spectacular things occur in our lives. But we do know that God who helped his servants in amazing ways is our God, Jehovah.  (Read Isaiah 43:10-13)  This confidence helps us to have faith in him. We know that he can do whatever is needed to empower us to accomplish his will fully.  (2 Corinthians 4:7-9)  What lessons do we learn from these Bible accounts?  As the examples of Hezekiah, Joseph, and Sarah show, Jehovah can help us to conquer the seemingly unconquerable if we remain faithful to Him.

How can we face challenges and still "retain the peace of God"?  It is by maintaining a good relationship with our God, Jehovah.  Such a relationship is possible only "by means  of Christ Jesus,"  who offered his life as a ransom sacrifice.  The provision of that ransom is yet another one of the amazing works of our Father.  Jehovah uses the ransom to cover our sins, enabling us to have a clean conscience and draw close to him. -John 14:6; James 4:8; 1 Peter 3:21.
