With Love and Strength for Each New Day

God will make a way - Don Moen

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
Heaven and earth will fade
But His Word will still remain
He will do something new today


Sometimes it's just all in the lyrics. I feel like this song represents where I've come from and where I'm going. God has been making my path for me all along when I never thought it possible. If you had asked me last year what my life would look like today.... I would have said I'd be in the education program, working part time, and helping with the children's ministry. I could not have even imagined that THIS is where I would be.
He holds me closely to His side and leads me where His path takes.
The bridge is especially true. Heaven and earth will fade... but His word will still remain. Isn't that an amazing promise? No matter what happens in our lives, we still have the assurance of Jesus.

He will do something new today. He always does, but the question is, do we see it? Do we notice what He has created for our pleasure? Clouds, sunshine, brisk air, falling leaves, beautiful fall colours, the frost in the morning, our warm breath meeting the cool air.... all His creation. Do we notice how beautiful these things are?

My challenge for you: Find the beauty in His creation... what has He made new today? It may be something we already know... but everyday things are new. His gift to us. Isn't God AMAZING?
