Samson Trusted in Jehovah - Continue

 Why did Samson use the jawbone of a donkey? It was an unconventional weapon, to say the least.   No doubt Samson knew that his success depended on Jehovah, not on which weapon he used. Yes, this faithful man used what was available to him to accomplish Jehovah's will.  Clearly, as result of his reliance on Jehovah, Samson was blessed with great success. 

We too can be strengthened by Jehovah to accomplish our assignments, even those that seem overwhelming. God can do so in a manner that may amazed us. Trust that Jehovah, who empowered Samson, will help you to do His will as long as you rely on him for help. - PROVERBS 16:3.

Many brothers and sisters who are involved in theocratic construction projects have shown trust in Jehovah.  In the past, brothers usually designed and constructed most new Kingdom Halls and other buildings. Eventually, though, the needs of Jehovah's growing organization called for an adjustment.  The responsible brothers sought Jehovah's direction and tried new methods, such as purchasing facilities and renovating them. "At first, it was not easy for some to embrace this new approach," says Robert, who in recent years has worked with many of our building projects around the world. He continues:  "It was very different from what we had been doing for years. But the brothers are willing to adapt, and it has become evident that Jehovah is blessing these adjustments." This is just one example of how Jehovah is guiding his people to accomplish his will.  From time to time, all of us do well to ask ourselves, 'Am I looking for Jehovah's direction and remaining adaptable in my service to him?
