"Sometimes he "comes through" for us. But sometimes he doesn't, or so it seems. What's going on when we cast our dependence fully on God and he seems so unresponsive? Here we must be reminded that as we depend on the power of the Holy Spirit, he transforms us according to his plan and timetable-- which are rarely if ever in perfect conformity with our own. The reason he withholds empowerment from us is not that he lacks power or ability to transmit power to us. It's because in His infinite wisdom, sovereignty, mercy and love, he empowers only what is best for us."
