With the Red Sea behind them
The desert before them
The children of God had to trust His plan
As they followed and waited
Each day He created
A way that would lead to the promised land
Chorus:
He made a road in the wilderness
As only He could do
He made a road in the wilderness
And the power of Love broke through
And as I rolled over and stretched, my husband asked if he could read a paragraph to me. He read from My Daily Mediation for the Circling Year:
As thy days so shall thy strength be. So I never fear that the promise of yesterday will exhaust itself before tomorrow. God's covenant goes with us like the ever-fresh waters of the wilderness. 'They drank of that rock which followed them, and that rock was Christ.' Every fulfillment of God's promise is a pledge of one to come. God has no road without its springs. If His path stretches across waste wilderness the 'fountains shall breakout in the desert,' and 'the wilderness shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.'Finally, I was reminded again through Jesus Calling that He goes before us to open the way, and he also walks alongside us. And because He is such a devoted companion, we do not need to be weighted down with problems and unresolved issues, for He is our burden bearer.
This week, along with many from our church, I will be fasting. I told the Lord this morning that I want to be different at the end of this week. I went without food or drink for several weeks in the fall, while on TPN. But that wasn't spiritual fasting.
I'm looking forward to seeing God work in our lives this week, as he makes a road in the wilderness.
