God is shaping my life like a stream carving through rock, patiently removing each obstacle in its path. Where there are many rocks, the water is loud and forceful. Where there are none, it flows calmly. In the same way, life’s hardest seasons often feel overwhelming – yet they are the moments we most clearly see and hear God. Only His power can move the obstacles before us; not by our own strength. The psalmist writes, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way… though its waters roar and foam…” (Psalm 46:1-3). When the way is cleared, like a river unhindered, we begin to experience the peace and serenity God desires for His children. Beside still waters, He restores our souls, renews our strength, and teaches us to trust and walk with Him daily – in faith, hope, and surrender. (Nicky B) Open Bible – https://bit.ly/Psa46v1-3
