Way Maker


Recently I was riding in the car on a day trip with my family, and I was feeling really down. Well, let me back up. I was feeling down even before that. The hour before I was in the car and even the days, weeks, months, and years before that. There was so much going wrong in my life, personal attacks of the enemy against me, and so much going on otherwise-just really hard times.

And in that moment Jesus, as He always does, brought revelation to me and words that reminded me of His truth. He started to bring me out of the deep, dark pit I was wrestling in right then. But then Jesus used a song to remind me of His reality. Have you ever been driving or riding in the car and a song came on the radio that was just what you needed to hear at that moment? That has happened to me more times than I can count and this morning was one of the times it happen. The song was the worship song, Way Maker. I know a lot of us have probably heard that song and know how anointed and powerful it is. 
This song speaks of the truths of Jesus and the realities of Him, and it was what I so desperately needed to be reminded of in that moment.The songs say,

You are here, moving in our midst
I worship You, I worship You
You are here, working
inthis place
I worship
You, I worship You
You are
Waymaker, miracle worker
Promise keeper, light in the darkness
My God, that is who You are
You are
Waymaker, miracle worker
Promise keeper, light in the darkness
My God, that is who You are
That is who You are, that is who You are

Even when I don't see it, You're working
Even when I don't feel it, You're working
You never stop, You never stop working
You never stop, You never stop working
Even when I don't see it, You're working
Even when I don't feel it, You're working
You never stop (You never stop working)
You never stop (You never stop working)

He is a way maker, miracle worker, and a promise keeper. The promises He has made to you and your family, He will keep. He is coming through. He is a light in the darkness. His bright light is shining into the darkness in your life, and it is vanishing. All these things that the song says Jesus is, He is. “My God, that is who you are.”

Even when we don’t see it, even when we don’t feel it, He is working. He never stops working. Sometimes we don’t feel God, sometimes we don’t feel like He is there or that He is working, but He is. Matthew 28:20 says, Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. We cannot go by feelings-because they will lie to us. He is our God. He is our God, ya'll! And isn't that what God does, look out and take care of His people! 

Isaiah 43:19 says, I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. And that is exactly what this song talks about Jesus doing. He is the Way Maker, the Miracle Worker, and the Promise Keeper. He is working, He is moving, and making a way in our lives even when we do not see it. Rest in Him, receive and be reassured in that. He has not forgotten us; He will come through. He will not fail us or forsake us. 

That is just who He is.
