GOD WILL MAKE A WAY

Now wait you say. Are you getting senile? Didn't you use this hymn as last week's choice? Good questions. I'm not sure how to answer the senile question, but this is a different choice. Yes, it does have the same name and the same theme but it is written by Janet Paschal. Last week's was written by Don Moen. In fact, last week I was really looking for this one but couldn't find the words in time for my weekly post. As writer and soloist, Janet has had much personal experience with this message since she has battled with cancer. Maybe the Lord thought that some of us needed a double reminder of His care for us. While last week I remarked about Red Sea situations, Janet's words really center on that theme - stranded before an army and the sea. And if nobody else felt that way this week, I certainly have. We have worked hard to get my dad's house on the market today and just ran out of time and energy to get everything done. We also had to move furniture Friday night ... in driving rain - we had almost 3 inches of rain while two of my boys did that. And then we had, and still have, some problems at our house which must be dealt with soon. Then there is the start of Awana and numerous other responsibilities and situations which we must deal with. Now I am not complaining, just stating that we all have times when we feel trapped and don't know where to turn. But we've learned, God is always faithful and He will make a way, even when there seems to be no way. So maybe this double emphasis is only for me, but just in case you need it to, meditate on these words and the truth that is shared.

Must have felt strange to end up stranded between an army and the sea

They must have felt forsaken wondering why God wasn't all He said He'd be

When your back's against the wall

It's the hardest place of all

But somewhere between provisions and impossibility

God will make a way

When there seems to be no way

Forever He is faithful

He will make a road

When you bear a heavy load

I know, God will make a way

When a wall of circumstances leaves you crying in the night

And you struggle til your strength is almost gone

God will gently hold you in the shelter of His heart

And carve a road for you to carry on.

So carry on

God will make a way

When there seems to be no way

Forever He is faithful

He will make a road

When you bear a heavy load

I know, God will make a way
