Blessing the Obstacles

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak (Isaiah 40:29)

Why do we humans insist that we need certain things in order to fulfill God’s will in our lives? If we had more money, we cold give more. If our health were better, we could go to Indonesia and help rebuild after the Tsunami. If we didn’t have to clean the house, cook, and do laundry, we could write a novel in ten days. Whatever our perceived goal, we only see the obstacles. We miss God’s strength and power to overcome. We need to learn to praise God with the obstacles because He then will demonstrate His wonderful majesty over the elements. How can we witness the full measure of God, if we don’t have need of Him?
