“I WILL MAKE A WAY!”

 Isaiah 43:19                    (ESV)

    “[19] Behold, I AM DOING A NEW THING;

        now it springs forth, DO YOU NOT PERCEIVE IT?

    “I WILL MAKE A WAY” IN THE WILDERNESS

        and RIVERS IN THE DESERT.”

Many years ago (maybe 30+) I was searching for an ANSWER from the LORD as to WHY HE was leading me (and my family!) along the PATH I was journeying???  I went to a park area south of my house and GOD spoke to me through Isaiah 43:2, “When YOU PASS THROUGH the waters, I WILL BE WITH YOU; and THROUGH the rivers, they SHALL NOT overwhelm you; when you walk THROUGH fire you SHALL NOT be burned, and the flame SHALL NOT consume you.”  GOD gave me a CONFIDENCE that HE would be with me through whatever trial I faced, REGARDLESS OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES!!

On July 09, 2007 GOD took a few days to display to me that HE was in CONTROL, especially when I wasn’t able to draw any GLORY from HIM and HIS OMNIPOTENT HAND!!  Hospitalized for 52 days, no job for two years, losing a dear friend to a totally unexpected tragedy, losing my mom AND my mother-in-law a few months later a few months later, then eighteen months of non-productive job searching has vividly demonstrated that ALMIGHTY GOD is the ONLY reason I have survived ANYTHING!!!  

We aren’t able to SEE The CREATOR through the WILDERNESS of life!  Through the struggles and valleys of life we think we can figure out a way to “get across the Red Sea”, even after GOD has displayed HIS MAJESTY in annihilating the Egyptians while miraculously DELIVERING HIS CHOSEN people!  But when HE CAUSES me to BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD I am beyond words trying to understand or explain HIS HANDIWORK!!!

Last week I was back in the same park area in an attempt to HEAR FROM HEAVEN,and once again ALMIGHTY GOD took me to Isaiah 43.  Only this time HE is saying “I WILL MAKE A WAY” IN THE WILDERNESS AND RIVERS IN THE DESERT to a servant who DESPERATELY is wanting to HEAR ONLY FROM HIM!!!  HIS MAJESTY has been revealed to me TIME AND TIME again in my life, but now HE is DIVINELY OPENING my human EYES to SEE that HE doesn’t require me to be watching to SEE HIM, but simply to be USED by HIM!  Even after a SEVENTEEN DAY COMA, HE permitted me to show HIS GLORY!!!  

“I WILL MAKE A WAY”!!!!
