One of the funny experiences I’ve had travelling with the Google Map is when I have so much depended on it, only to get to a point and the navigation system says, “GPS is lost”. At that point, I know I need God to show the way.
Friend, one of the most profound revelations of God is that He is a Way Maker. In fact, He is not just a Way Maker, He is the Way (John 14:1). When you seem stranded, understand that God is the Way and when you seek Him, He shows you the way. You cannot know God as the Way Maker if you have not yet known Him as the Way.
“…And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it…” (Isaiah 30:21). God already has factored in the possibility of being clueless and confused in our walk with Him. When we seem to be fed with the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, we must tune our ears to His voice (Isaiah 30:20-21).
“…with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13). Perhaps, you are faced with challenges, and thinking if you can handle the stuff that are coming your way at this time. Rest assured that God has already made a way of escape for you. You need your eyes to be open to see it (Genesis 21:19, 22:13, 2 Kings 6:17).
“There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 14:12). You need to rely on the intelligence of God when you are at a crossroad. This is not the time to jump at what feels good. What feels good may not be what is good. Don’t fall for the alternatives of the devil when God’s best is just around the corner (Proverbs 3:5-7).
“And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope…” (Hosea 2:15). God is a specialist at converting walls to doors. He knows how to bring hope out of hopelessness and frustrations. He knows out to bring opportunities out of oppositions. Trust Him; He will turn things around for you. God will make a way. Amen!
