Tuesday, October 28

[Jehovah] is the stability of your times.—Isa. 33:6.

 

As faithful servants of Jehovah, we face difficulties and infirmities that are common to all mankind. We may also have to endure opposition or persecution from those who hate God’s people. Though Jehovah does not shield us from such hardships, he does promise to help us. (Isa. 41:10) With his assistance, we can maintain our joy, make good decisions, and stay loyal to him even through the most difficult situations. Jehovah promises to give us what the Bible calls “the peace of God.” (Phil. 4:6, 7) This peace refers to the calmness and tranquility of mind and heart that result from our precious relationship with him. This peace “surpasses all understanding”; it is more wonderful than we can imagine. Have you ever felt surprisingly calm after praying fervently to Jehovah? That feeling is “the peace of God.” w24.01 20 ¶2; 21 ¶4

Even when Jehovah’s servants walk through hardship, He doesn’t leave them to stumble in the dark. Life brings pain, opposition, and illness, yet His promise stands firm: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you.” (Isaiah 41:10) That nearness isn’t theory — it’s the calm that settles in after prayer, the “peace of God” that defies explanation. (Philippians 4:6, 7) With His help, the heart steadies, the mind clears, and even in the hardest nights, joy keeps its place.
