all to You I owe...

Is there anybody who can testify and tell somebody He Keeps making a way for me.

As you study the history of Israel, you will find out that God always made a way for them.

I can’t speak for you, but I show enough speak for myself!

I’m not ashamed to tell somebody what he’s done for me.

As you study the history of Israel, you will find out that God always made a way for them.

The deliverance out of Egypt is glanced at, to prepare the way for the announcement of deliverance from the hand of Babylon.

Then “a way was made in the sea” (Exod.

14:21–29), “and a path in the mighty waters;” now it will be necessary to make “a way in the wilderness” (ver.

19).

As you study the history of Israel, you will find out that God always made a way for them.

The deliverance out of Egypt is glanced at,

to prepare the way for the announcement of deliverance from the hand of Babylon.

As you study the history of Israel, you will find out that God always made a way for them.

He made a way to get them out of Egypt,

He made a way for them to cross the Red Sea,

He made a way for them in the crossing of the wilderness,

He made a way for them to go into the promised land.

Just as He made a way for them, He will and can make a way for you and I.

I am glad that the God we serve is a God of great power.

Who wouldn't serve a God like this?

God is immutable (unchangeable).

God is unchangeable, therefore, as He made a way for them, He can make a way no matter what the need is every generation that will look unto Him.

Isaiah 40:28-

Isaiah 40:28

Therefore, as He made a way for them, He can make a way no matter what the need in every generation that will look unto Him.

Isaiah

Isaiah 43:

I asked my youngest daughter who is a soldier in the military Fort Drum New York as a Horizontal Construction Engineer.

What does it mean to make a way?

She said...

First of all, You have to have the right equipment...

We serve a God that is our all in all...

God is the power that created the heavens and the earth.

When He said, “Let there be light!” the light came to the earth, and He created day and night.

()

God parted the Red Sea;

He made the walls of Jericho fall without a single blow.

(; ).

Even the sun and the moon have to stand still at His command.

()

God is infinitely great.

The prophet Isaiah made an attempt at describing Him:

“… Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.” .

Secondly, The Path has to be Rough Staked...

The purpose of rough staking is to map out a predetermined path.

It enables the Engineer to grade and prepare the site.

Don’t you know Salem that God has your path already staked out.

You say yea but I thought...

Wait a minute!

Isaiah 55:8-9

We don’t see what God sees...

All we see are trees, brush and weeds but God is saying I already got it marked out for you.

Thirdly, The Path has to be Cleared...

You have to Clear the Top of the ground and Excavate below the surface.

There’s stuff above the surface and there's stuff below the surface.

“…I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”

He will make a way where there seems to be no way.

In the toughest of situations, this seems to be God’s specialty.

God has it all figured out.

So we don’t have to worry.

He’s working on our behalf even when we can’t see it all.

He has a plan and purpose in whatever we walk through.

He can cut a clear pathway through anything.

And in seemingly hopeless situations where we can’t see any way out, God’s power has the opportunity to shine the greatest.

It’s in those times when we come to the end of ourselves, where we know we can’t depend on our own abilities, on anything we have, or anyone we know, but instead are reminded that we are totally and completely reliant on Him - it’s those times that are the most powerful of all.

He can make a way through the wilderness and cause streams to rise up, bringing refreshing even in the desert times.

He can split the sea, move mountains, or any barrier before us, and allow us to walk through on dry ground.
