Make a Way

Yesterday I told my daughter that just like her, I'm no longer afraid, I'm just excited about what God is going to do.  It was the last day of the month which is usually a fairly important financial day.  The last day of the month used to put my stomach in knots, but not yesterday.  I knew if a certain cheque which we had been expecting for a while didn't arrive, that somehow God had ordained that and that He would have a different way of providing.  Sure enough, in the 11th hour, the mail arrived, with the awaited cheque.  I didn't even notice the mail truck had come.  I used to watch at the door waiting anxiously, no longer.  Anxiety is such a tool of Satan!  It can turn and twist your stomach making you feel actually sick!  The Bible is very true when it says worry doesn't add a day to your life.

We are slowly but surely learning through these trials how faithful God is, how we really can give Him the burdens we carry even when He has said to do so all along.  In the past I would think I had done so, but based on that sick feeling I had in my stomach,  I don't think I had.

When we went to the Tenth Avenue North concert, there was a band there that opened for them that I had only just recently heard of, "I AM THEY".  This band was amazing and blew everyone out of the water with their talent, their love for God, the lyrics of their songs.  I was so grateful they put the lyrics on the screen for each band, imagine that at a rock concert for a secular artist?  They'd have to be censored most of the time!  One song jumped out above all the rest, remarkably powerful.  I even had a friend send this song's lyrics out to me this past week as well, saying how this song had carried her through her dark time.  Yesterday, it was the song that was in my head all day as we waited on the Lord.  Here are the lyrics:

  "Make A Way"

You brought me to the desert so You could be my water
You brought me to the fire so You could be my shield
You brought me to the darkness so You could be my morning light
If You brought me this far, if You brought me this far

Wherever you lead me, I know you won’t leave me
Wherever you call me, You will make a way
Wherever we’re going, I will be holding
To the promise you have made
You will make a way
You will make a way

And when I’m in the valley, You will be my comfort
And when I’m at the end of me, I find You there
When I’m in the battle, You will be my present peace
Cause You brought me this far, You brought me this far
If You brought me this far

Wherever you lead me, I know you won’t leave me
Wherever you call me, You will make a way
Wherever we’re going, I will be holding
To the promise you have made
You will make a way
My God will make a way

Cause You brought me this far
You brought me this far
You brought me this far
You will make a way

You brought me this far
You brought me this far
You brought me this far
My God will make a way

Wherever you lead me, I know you won’t leave me
Wherever you call me, You will make a way
Wherever we’re going, I will be holding
To the promise you have made

Wherever you lead me, I know you won’t leave me
Wherever you call me, You will make a way
Wherever we’re going, I will be holding
To the promise you have made
You will make a way
You will make a way

 

And now the video, 

The musicians shared how that song was particularly powerful for even them as a band as they had been brought together from many different places, made bold moves out of their comfort zones to join the band and then to see how God was taking them when the future seemed so uncertain....their own music was ministering to them!  Enjoy!
