He is Able

The good news for the day Sunday was my two dog books, the first one and the last one, were #3 and #4 in the dog training category on amazon.com. (#1 and #2 were both by Cesar Milan, the famous dog whisperer.) The bad news was Mom K ended up in the ER again, but this time not for falling but for a very nasty bladder infection. She was put on intravenous antibiotics, and after a good portion of the day in ER, returned to the nursing home. Ups and downs. Sunrise, sunset.

Great message at church though. Through a developing migraine, I didn't remember all of it, but part of what I remembered is that we learn and retain the most when circumstances are difficult. Don't be dismayed by how hard life is sometimes. God may be teaching you something that is of great value, and that you will never forget. He doesn't mean for our life to be easy. It is sometimes in the hardest things of life that we learn to rely most completely on Him, and when we do, we learn He is able.

Romans 8:26-27 (NIV)
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. [27] And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
