God Will Provide A Way

God Will Provide A Way “Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him. You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” Psalm 32:6-7 The scripture above is one that all of us should aspire to, and claim as a promise of God that He will protect us and deliver us from our difficulties. Have you thought about what you do in your times of troubles and difficulties? Most of us are looking to friends, our pastor or a more experienced Christian to provide a certain level of instruction in spiritual things. These kinds of people are wonderful to have, and I believe accountability is an important key to our spiritual formation and growth. All of us have a need to have godly, spiritual guidance throughout our life, but Jesus gives us some advice about this when He said in Matthew 15:14 “If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a ditch.” We should rely on these people for comfort and counsel, but it is important to know the wisdom and guidance that only God gives. There is not much that is not covered in God’s word to help us get through the darkest moments. We are all going to have our trials and troubles as God tells us we will have, but there are also the assurances that God gives us that He will provide for us and protect us and get us through these times. The Israelites thought that things were hopeless when they arrived at the Red Sea, and saw the Egyptians behind them. They felt that they were doomed, but God provided a way for them and delivered them. When we see that there is no way out of our individual situations, God is still there and will provide a way for us as well. When we see our Red Seas in front of us, God can also part the waters and let us pass through to safety. My Daily Devotional Volume III May 19 Robert William Brock, Jr.
