Life throws hurdles at us from time to time. Sometimes these hurdles can be overwhelming. However, when we read the scriptures and as we put our trust in God, we realize that He is able to bring us through those hurdles. This is encompassed in the phrase at the beginning of Ephesians 2:4, "But God..." Because God is overseeing our circumstances and because He loves us, He is working out His perfect plan in our lives and is making us more like Christ. So be encouraged because...But God.
