God Makes a Way - Uniquely for You

 

God makes a way in the wilderness. He provides passage through depravity and difficulty into redemption and provision. Our part is to seek Him and make room for Him in our lives. God's plan of redemption in Christ was a shocking surprise to Bible Scholars of the day.  Many believed in the coming Messiah as Scripture foretold, but most awaited a King Messiah who would throw off Roman oppression of Israel.  Few saw a first coming in humility to redeem mankind by paying for our sins.  How shocked were His followers when He submitted to Roman crucifixion!  But by allowing the Jewish High Priest Caiaphas to sacrifice the real Lamb of God on that Passover, a Holy God was then able to enter any asking human soul and change them with forgiveness and grace from the inside.  A second coming in glory awaits as Scripture foretells, and will no doubt be even more shocking and unpredictable.  But now in this age of grace, a merciful God redeems those who call upon Him one by one.

 

For today's trouble, God is never limited in how He delivers us, and as with salvation, His plans usually come as a surprise.  Whether He guides you to prepare ahead before disaster like Noah, delivers you from an angry family member like Jacob, miraculously gets you out of jail like Joseph, or parts an ocean and saves you from a pursuing army like Moses, God is faithful and will stand you up on the rock and put a new song in your mouth. (Psalm 40:2,3)

 

He knows where you are at every moment. He knows you intimately, loves you and still has a purpose for you to fulfill. Don't give up. Look for your bridge over troubled waters and He will show you the unique way He has prepared for you to get over, around or through your personal wilderness. It might look a little scary, but God is building your character and faith in Him through the journey. Be encouraged! Seek Him and trust Him and He will make Himself known.  

 

 

I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24    Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness... 
Isaiah 43:19
