Isaiah 43:19 …I am making a way in the wilderness….
This verse takes me back to March of last year. I am sitting in the driver’s seat of my husband’s truck, outside the doctor’s office. The hubs is in the back of the ambulance parked in front of me. The EMT comes to me and says, “Your husband has had a heart attack. We are running him in with lights and sirens. Don’t try to keep up.” Lord Jesus, make a way. Please, God, make a way. Make a way through this wilderness. Make a way. Please, make a way.
Isaiah 55:8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts….And My ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.”
Almost a year and a half later, the hubs has no permanent damage and is preparing to hike the Appalachian Trail. I’m so thankful He made a way that allowed the hubs to heal here. But that’s not always the case. I could list many times where His way involved calling loved ones home to Him for healing. Or times when they were allowed to remain but now have to deal with health issues on earth. I don’t understand, quite frankly, but I implicitly trust the One who does.
Psalm 61:2 From the ends of the earth I call to You, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
Lord, Thank You for this day and for the reminder that You are making a way for us, Your perfect way, through whatever wilderness we face. Thank You for my absolute trust in Your love, Your goodness, and Your sovereignty, even when I don’t understand Your ways. Continue to make a way through the wilderness of this life, LORD, a way that draws me closer to You. Amen.
Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Have a blessed day.
Well, I needed that. I don’t know if you’ve seen on Facebook that my husband has metastatic melanoma. He’s just finished his treatment, and is suffering from side effects. We find out Monday if the treatments worked. So, finding a way through this wilderness is tough. I just try to hold on to God.
My friend, I did not realize the wilderness you guys are traversing. I’m definitely praying you both feel deeply His peace, His strength, and His healing. He IS making a way….
