“I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea.” (Isaiah 43:16 NLT)
Are you at an impasse?
Are you facing a problem with no good solution?
Are you feeling hopeless, confused, overwhelmed, scared?
Have you exhausted all your resources?
Fortunately, our God is the:
Waymaker
Miracle Worker
Promise Keeper
Light in the darkness
(Lyrics from Waymaker by Sirach)
Impossible situations are God’s specialty. Why? It is when we get to the end of our rope that we let go and yield to His power. The Lord can make a way where there seems to be no way. He makes dry paths through raging waters.
We don’t always recognize the Lord working in our midst. Why not? Because He doesn’t always do things according to our expectations. We want quick, neat solutions. We want our needs met, obstacles removed, sickness healed, prayers answered, and future secured. We want to feel protected, comforted, loved, and cherished. And, we want all of these favors for our loved ones too.
God is a waymaker, but His paths are not always smooth and paved.
He is a miracle worker, but He cannot be managed.
He is a promise keeper, but His timing is unknowable.
He is a light in the darkness, but He can’t be switched on and off.
God’s ways are mysterious. We cannot always sense it or make sense of it. Yet, He is trustworthy. Thus, let us walk confidently along the path that He makes, taking each step in faith, even though we can’t see the end.
