Issue 06, Volume 21: He Made a Way

As we walk with God, it's easy to expect life to be perfect. This is far from reality. We have a good life, a blessed life as promised by our God. However, that life is not free from trouble.

We often quote, “many are the troubles of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him from them all.” Yet we get surprised when we land into trouble.

Once in trouble, many of us get preoccupied with anxiety and dejection, quickly forgetting that we have a promise to be delivered from every trouble.  And sometimes, the trouble seems too big, and we worry even more. How unfortunate, because God promised to deliver us from all trouble. He didn't say 'some' or 'small ones'. He said 'all'. What part of 'God will deliver us' don't we understand? What part of 'all' don't we understand?

I was thrilled to remember that God knows every single detail of my life before it happens. Nothing catches Him by surprise. God knows the troubles lined up on my path long before their time, and He goes to work to make a way for me. How incredible!

Do we stop to consider the hand of God when we find ourselves in an accident for instance? We most likely spend lots of energy pitying ourselves and worrying. God makes a way for us and those with us to live, for those involved to survive, to be spared of major injuries, to be made whole and restored.

That trouble you found yourself in, the damage could have been worse than it turned out to be, possibly your worst nightmare. But God miraculously prevented the worst from happening. How amazing to have God in our corner!

God makes a way for us to find favour with those in our path in a trouble situation. He makes a way for those who would otherwise curse or mistreat us, to pronounce blessings over us instead, to treat us with love and kindness, to be favourably disposed towards us. He makes a way.

Standing there, not knowing how we would get through the test. But holding onto faith knowing nothing can catch Him by surprise. That He got it figured out. Not just some of it, all of it, from beginning to end, every angle, every detail. He got it all figured out.

And when it looks as if we can't win, He wraps us in His arm and steps in. Supplying everything we need. He has the situation in control.

When our backs are against the wall, and it looks as if it is over. He makes a way. God makes a way!

Looking back on where we've come from, now we know that He made a way. His grace was strong enough to pick us up. We are doing fantastic today only because He made a way.

God moves mountains. He causes walls to fall. He causes chains to break, and giants to fall. He performs miracles. He makes a way.

How splendid to know that God makes a way. He has your life figured out, the good and the bad days alike. No occurrence in your life takes Him by surprise. Dare take Him at His Word. You will be wonderfully surprised. He makes a way.
