God Makes A Way When It Seems Like There Is No Way
In our Christian walk, we often encounter situations where the path ahead seems unclear, blocked, or impossible. However, the Bible assures us that God goes before us and makes a way even when it appears there is no way.
One of the most compelling examples of this truth is found in Isaiah 43:16-19, where God declares, “I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea. I called forth the mighty army of Egypt with all its chariots and horses. I drew them beneath the waves, and they drowned, their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick. But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.”
This passage reflects God’s miraculous intervention during the Exodus, where He parted the Red Sea for the Israelites (Exodus 14:21-22). When faced with the Red Sea ahead and the Egyptian army behind, the Israelites saw no way out. Yet, God made a way where there seemed to be none.
Similarly, in Deuteronomy 31:8, Moses encourages Joshua and the Israelites, saying, “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” This promise reassures us that God is always ahead of us, preparing the way and ensuring His presence with us.
In the New Testament, we see God’s provision in a new light through Jesus Christ. Jesus declares in John 14:6, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Here, Jesus not only provides a way but is the way to eternal life and a relationship with God.
Moreover, in Romans 8:28, Paul writes, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Even in the most challenging circumstances, God is working behind the scenes to bring about His perfect plan for our lives.
Therefore, when we face obstacles, uncertainties, or seemingly insurmountable challenges, we can rest in the assurance that God goes before us. He is the Way-Maker, the One who parts seas, creates paths in the wilderness, and brings streams in the wasteland. Let us trust in His guidance and provision, knowing that He is always making a way for us.
May we continually find peace and confidence in the truth that our God is always ahead, preparing the way and ensuring that we walk in His divine purpose.
