During the Advent season, people are in a reflective, year-in-review attitude. Some are filled thanksgiving, others are filled with regret. But what if our circumstances didn't reflect what was really going on in God's purposes? That is the point Paul makes in his letter to the young Greek Christians. God was able to use Paul's restricted movement in prison, to advance the mission of Jesus further than it have ever gone before. Is it possible that God is wanting you to ask, "Why did this happen?" so that you can see God's good purposes behind it?
