God will make a way

Here's a chorus that has really ministered to my family and I recently:

God will make a way

When there seems to be no way

He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me

He will be my guide

Hold me closely to His side

With love and strength for each new day

He will make a way, He will make a way.

The word "way" in the Scriptures refers to a path or a road that will take a person from point "a" to point "b". Consider the different ways that God will make a way:

God will make a way when we are tempted:

1 Corinthians 10:13 - "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

In 1 Corinthians 12 and 13 we see that God will show us a more excellent way:

1 Corinthians 12:31,13:4 and 8 - "And yet I show you a more excellent way..... Love suffers long and is kind...Love never fails."

You see, God works in ways that we can not see in the "all things of life", so no matter what you might be going through today, if you are a believer in Christ you can cling to the following truths from Romans 8:

Romans 8:28 - "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose"

Romans 8:37-39 - "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

At times there seems to be no way, but even when we are experiencing the evil in this world, we can be sure that God will make a way.

Genesis 50:20 states; "But as for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive."

And finally God will not only make a way through the all things of life, but He has provided us "the way" and the only way to arrive at the destination of Heaven. Just before Jesus was betrayed and crucified, in what was the greatest evil ever committed by man, in John 14:6 Jesus proclaimed, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except through Me."

These are great promises to cling to, aren't they?! They give so much encouragement and hope...We serve a great God! Let's keep our eyes on Him!
