God Makes A Way.....


"and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me." Psalm 50:15

"“You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD,“and my servant whom I have chosen, I, even I, am the LORD,and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand.When I act, who can reverse it?" Isaiah 43:10-19

I found out trough the study of Israel's history that God always made a way for His people. It was God who personally made a way to get them out of Egypt. He miraculously made a way for them to cross the Red Sea. He made a way for them through the crossing of the wilderness even though they were disobedient, and He also made a way for them to go into the Promised Land. God is faithful. I concluded that if God made a way for them, He is able and will make a way for you and I. In our wilderness God is the way to go. I do not know about you, but I am so glad I serve a God who is able to do great and miraculous things. Glory to God!

Malachi 3:6 says, "For I am the LORD, I change not." If God delivered them multiple times, He will also deliver us. It is as simple as that. Friend, if you encounter sickness, disease, lack and pain in your wilderness, don't you worry. God is able and willing to show up in a major way. he says in Psalm 91:15 "I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him." What else do you need? God assured you that He will be with you and that should be enough to give you hope and joy. You are not alone in your adversity. Spouse, family and friends may have walked away but you still have God on your side and He is enough. He is the all sufficient God. Praise Him!

My dear friend God will make a way for you if you trust him no matter what you here and no matter what you see. Habakkuk 2:4 "The just shall live by faith." and Hebrews 11:1 says "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." I don't care what you are going through friend, trust God and you will have victory. The doctor gave you little hope but your faith is in God. The economy is not encouraging but God is your anchor. So you are not getting any job interviews, but God is your source. Your spouse walked away but God is your comfort. Your loves ones rejected you but God is your affirmation. He is your all and all. Life gets better when you keep your eyes on God. God will make a way.

Friend, I am thankful that I serve a limitless God. The only God who is able and willing to make a way out of the wilderness. My trust is in Him. How about you?

Praise the lord!


Your Steps Are Ordered.....


The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way. Psalm 37:23

You are here for a purpose. if you are a believer, God wants you where you are right now for His purpose. Things may no be going the way you would like them to go but you must trust God and scripture took it a little further: We are told to delight and accept our position. You and I have to delight/enjoy our position. We may not understand why we are here and for how long God is going to keeps us here but we must still trust that when the time is right, He will reveal the plan. As a matter of fact, it does not even have to make sense why we are here. Faith in God is exactly what must keep us in position. Rest become easy once we understand that we belong to God and that our steps are ordered. We no longer murmur and complain about our situations. We know that all things work together for our good.

So to have our steps ordered by the Lord means that the Lord is the one directing us, guiding us and leading us. But in order for the Lord to direct our steps, there are some things we ought to do. First of all, we must have faith. The Bible says in Romans 1:17 "the just shall live by faith." and Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.” Also,I Thessalonians 5:17 says "men should always pray and not faint." Perhaps, one of the most important reasons to pray is the fact that God says it.In Jeremiah 33:3, the LORD says, "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

Friends, if you are a believer and find yourself in a place of great challenges, don't you worry. God is with you. He will guide you safely out of the wilderness. Trust Him and you will see His glory. He loves you. He cares. He is able.

Praise the Lord!
