God Will Make A Way

Kia Ora friends,

Here are some words from Scripture and songs have stirred up faith in me to seek God for more healing and growth.

Do not fear, for I am with you, Do not be dismayed, for I am your God I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand

Isaiah 41:10 NIV

God Will Make a Way is a catchy song from the 90’s, and in recent days has sneakily popped into my head. I’ve had a reminder of these words…

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way

By a roadway in the wilderness, He’ll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see…
And He will do something new today
He will make a way, He will make a way

Songwriter Don Moen

I couldn’t help but be struck by how encouraging these words are for those of us diagnosed with a mental illness. At times we may struggle to believe that God is making a way, or that there is more healing for us. But we can believe that God is giving us the love and strength we need for every hour, every day. The gate is open. The invitation is there for us to press through into the way prepared for us. This more recent song Way Maker has a proclamation about Jesus that is worth speaking aloud.

‘Way maker
Miracle worker
Promise keeper
Light in the darkness
That is who you are’

May you find hope in these words – especially God’s promise to be with us and strengthen us.

Have a good week ahead,

Arohanui,

Bronnie
