God will show a way, when there is no way.

 Of course. This is a foundational promise for every believer walking through a season of impossibility. It is the testimony of the Red Sea, the Jordan River, and the empty tomb. God specializes in making a way where there is no way.

Here is a poem and reflection on this faithful promise.

He Makes a Way

The path runs out, the wall is high,

A dead-end under a heavy sky.

The sea ahead,the foe behind,

No hope,no help, no peace of mind.

The map is blank, the door is sealed,

All human effort has been repealed.

This is the place,this is the hour,

Where we discover real,true power.

Not ours, but His, the great I AM,

The God of Abraham.

The One who promised,“I will be

A way for you,just wait and see.”

“See, I am doing a new thing!

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the wilderness

and streams in the wasteland.”(Isaiah 43:19)

He does not always clear the path before,

But oftenas we trust Him more.

He calls us forward,“Take a stand!”

Then parts the sea with His own hand.

“Your path led through the sea,

your way through the mighty waters,

though your footprints were not seen.”(Psalm 77:19)

He makes a way with one command,

He makes a way with His own hand.

He makes a way we’d never dream,

A hidden,life-giving, holy stream.

So in the place of no escape,

Trust His deliverance’s shape.

It may not be the way you’d choose,

But it’s the path you’ll never lose.

For He is God, and He is good,

And He is true,as He has stood

By every promise He has made,

He will not let your hope be swayed.

God will show a way when there is no way.

This is His nature.

This is His promise.

This is your hope.

How God Makes a Way:

Throughout Scripture, we see His patterns:

1. The Dramatic Parting (Exodus 14): He supernaturally removes the obstacle, like the Red Sea. It is a miracle that requires no effort from us but faith and obedience to "move forward."

2. The Unexpected Provision (Genesis 22): As Abraham raised the knife, God provided a ram in the thicket. Sometimes the "way" is a last-minute provision we never saw coming.

3. The Inner Strength (2 Corinthians 12:9): He doesn't remove the "thorn," but says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." The "way" is His strength carrying us through the difficulty.

4. The Divine Shift (Acts 16): An earthquake opens the prison doors. God can change our circumstances in an instant.

5. The New Direction (Acts 8): Persecution scatters the church, and the gospel spreads. The "closed door" in one direction forces us into a new, more fruitful path we would have never chosen.

A Prayer for the Pathless Place:

"Father God, I am in a place with no visible way out. The sea is in front of me and the enemy is behind me. I feel trapped and my resources are gone.

I choose to lift my eyes to You. You are the Way-Maker. I trust in Your promise that You will make a way in this wilderness. I surrender my own plans and my timeline to You.

Give me the faith to stand still and see Your salvation, or the courage to take the next step in obedience even when I cannot see the path. I believe that You are working even now, preparing a way I cannot perceive.

Thank you for Your faithfulness. My hope is in You alone.

In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen."
