Good morning,
"Thus says the Lord, Who makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters,Who brings forth chariot and horse, army and mighty warrior. They lie down together, they cannot rise; they are extinguished, they are quenched like a lampwick: Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The beasts of the field honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen." (Is. 43:16-20) God will make a way through and a path through the deep and strong places of our times of testings. Through indicates penetration of or a passage within, along, or across an object, substance, or space; from one side to the opposite one; passage into or out of, from beginning to end. We will make it to the other side, God will see to it that there is a penetration across the waters of troubles. A way means a road, distance, journey, manner, road, way, path, journey, direction, manner, habit, a course of life. Path means a trodden way, a traveled a way beaten or formed, or trodden by feet, a course of conduct or procedure. "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you; when you walk through the fire; you shall not be burnt; neither shall the flame kindle upon you. (Is.43:2) Pass means to cause or allow to go through or beyond a barrier or gate etc.,. Walk is to carry, to make go; to lead forth; to move onward; to bring to a specified condition; to go on without hesitation.
Once again we need to encourage ourselves in the Lord. When it looks like there is no way out, remind yourself that God has already made a road, a course for your life, as long as you continue to move onward, you will break or penetrate the barrier and walk into your promised-land. Also as you meditate on these verses, the most important "noun" in these sentences is "I". I, representing the great "I Am". He will be there, to see to it that you receive the victory and the reward. "Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me." (Ps.23:4) He is with you all the way through, you are never alone, but you have the Mighty Deliverer, Who will do a "new thing"! Encourage yourself with the Word of the Lord!!
Love,
Pastor D.
