He Will Make a Way


I spoke in chapel yesterday. I began my message by showing a powerpoint slide set to the music of Kathy Trocolli's "He Will Make a Wa." In this slide set the vocalists bounce back and forth between "He will make a way" and "Where there seems to be no way." This is repeated many times, offering the perfect opportunity to contrast pictures from the Balkans of war and devestation (the "where there seems to be no way" motif and pictures of people, missionaries to start, whom God is using to "make a way." It is very powerful.

Well, to personalize it a bit, I inserted slides of students that I had been randomly taking over the course of the first two weeks. The effect was incredible. Kids would laugh and scream when they saw themselves or someone they knew. It really drew the students in to the presentation.

I followed that up with a brief message on how God is making a way forward in the Balkans through people. I then gave brief testimonies of leaders in the Balkans. But not wanting to leave it there, I challenged the students to first see where God had made a way forward for them and to also trust God to make a way in areas of their lives where they are currently not seeing any progress.

Over all, I felt it went rather well. And for that I am thankful. I leave you with these thoughts, what area of YOUR life would you like to see God step in and make a way? Spiritual life? Physical life? Emotional life? Financial life? Family life? Relationships?

God can and WILL make a way where there seems to be no way.
