God Will Make a Way

9/28/2008

 
I will even make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:19b


This morning I shared a short exhortation during the worship service. I read Isaiah 43:1-2 and 43:18-19...
 I then explained to the congregation that the Lord will make a way for His people no matter what circumstances we may find ourselves in. As His word promises, when we go through the waters, we will not drown. And when we go through our "fiery" trials and enter into what the Bible calls the "furnace of affliction," we won't get burned. Instead, we'll come through every one of these situations smarter and stronger, but this is true only if we do not lose our faith and give up.

I told the men that Satan roars like a lion because he wants to intimidate us into inaction. He desires that we be fearful and doubting. Yet the Lord will silence him. And when the devil launches his flaming arrows at us, the "shield of faith," if it is used properly, will deflect those searing projectiles so that they do us no harm.

"Actually our trials are blessings in disguise," I said. Furthermore, the Lord will ultimately get the glory for protecting His children while we're in the wilderness. He will also get the praise due Him for providing for our spiritual and physical needs while we're in the desert. Yes, the Lord will make a way where there appears to be no way.

D.B.


See Ephesians 6:10-18
