GOD ALWAYS MAKES A WAY
Isn’t it so wonderful that our God is the One who MAKES A WAY! Yes, in every situation. The Bible tells us He makes way through:
1. TEMPTATIONS (1 Corinthians 10:13).
God promises us that in whatever temptation or trial we face that He will make a way for us. There is no situation too hard for God.
2. MOUNTAINS (Isaiah 49:11).
Does the situation you face seem like a mountain? How can you ever get over it or through it? It’s not too hard for God. He can make a way through for you.
3. THE SEA (Psalm 106:9; Isaiah 43:16; 51:10; and 63:13).
Do you feel you are drowning in despair? Don’t look at the “pounding waves.” Look to the Lord. Trust in Him. Believe in Him. He will not let you drown.
4. THE WILDERNESS (Deuteronomy 8:15, 16; Isaiah 35:6b; and 43:19).
Do you feel dry and thirsty? Do you feel as though you are wandering around and around in the wilderness? Do not despair. God has promised to MAKE A WAY for you even in the wilderness. Believe His promises.
5. THE BIRTH OF A BABY (Psalm 22:9; 71:6; and Isaiah 46:3).
God also makes a way every time a little baby is born. It is a seemingly impossible situation for the baby's head to come through such a tiny opening. But God does it. He makes a way. It is God who brings the baby safely forth from the mother’s womb. Every birth is a mighty miracle. Put your trust in God, not man.
What a wonderful God we have. When we look to Him and trust Him, He ALWAYS MAKES A WAY!

P.S. Please take a moment to look up the Scriptures. They are the most important part of this post to read and will bless and encourage your heart.
GOD WILL DO WHAT YOU CANNOT DO!
Further to my post above, I think of a chorus we used to sing when I was a child. The words are just as powerful today and I’d love to share them with you. They were written by Oscar C. Eliason away back in 1929. Oscar was dying of TB in a Minneapolis hospital and a minister came by one evening and prayed for him. The next day be began to improve and he continued to improve to such an extent that the doctors confessed a miracle had happened. He then wrote this chorus:
Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountains you can’t tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible
And does the things that others cannot do.
And here are the words to the verses:
Be of good courage God spoke unto Joshua
When o’er the river God pointed the way,
Jordan uncrossable, things seemed impossible,
Waters divide as they march and obey
Battles to win they would meet with their obstacles,
Jericho’s walls too must fall to the ground
God never failed, He stood back of his promises,
Walls had to crumble as they marched around
God is the same and His Word is dependable,
He’ll make a way through the waters for you,
Life’s situations by Him are amendable,
Mountains and hills He will part for you too!
P.S. If you would like to listen to the song, you can google it to hear a You Tube.
The other day I wrote this post, GOD ALWAYS MAKES A WAY. On Sunday a visiting speaker sang a beautiful song on this very subject. I'll post the words for you:
GOD WILL MAKE A WAY
When I face the giants, when I face the storm
I will put my trust in the name of the Lord
When I face the mountain, when I face the sea
I know the Lord will deliver me
God will make away thru the storms that I face
God will make a way
God will make a way thru every trial that I face
God will make a way
Lord give me the courage to trust and believe
You are the God that will deliver me
Even in the battle I will not fear
Why be afraid when God says I am here
God will make a way thru every storm that I face
God will make a way
God will make a way thru every trial
God will make a way
