Day Four

It's pretty remarkable how God can take a situation that I think is dire and completely out of control and tame it. Yesterday I was fully stressed about an impossible circumstance that my friends were facing, and today God made it...well, kind of boring. Instead of it being an insurmountable mountain, it has become an inconvenient hill that must be climbed.

I love how God works, because he didn't just fix the problem - and he could have. The problem is not gone, but it is diminished. My friends will still have to face it, but they have been reassured that they are not fighting on their own. God perfectly blends his sovereign power with our striving and uses it not only to overcome a our obstacles, but to grow our faith. Amazing.

Seeing the Holy Spirit work in the lives of my friends is a wonderful thing, and a great way to start this month off. Still praying for more.
