God Will Make a Way
Isaiah 43:16-19 (ESV)
“Thus says the LORD, who makes a
way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters...
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
I. Biblical Foundations of God
Making a Way
1. God Made a Way at the Red
Sea – Exodus 14:13-22
- Context: Israel trapped between the Red Sea
and Pharaoh’s army.
- Humanly impossible situation.
- God’s
Response:
“The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” (v.14)
Then He parts the sea!
God can open seas that block your
destiny. Your job is faith, not panic.
2. God Provided a Way in the
Wilderness – Deuteronomy 8:2-4
- 40 years in the wilderness — yet no hunger, no worn
clothes, and God's guidance.
- Manna from heaven, water from a rock, shoes that
didn’t wear out.
When you're in a desert season,
God doesn’t abandon you — He sustains and leads you.
3. God Made a Way Through Fire
– Daniel 3:23-25
- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego thrown into the
fiery furnace.
- They were not alone — the “fourth man”
(Jesus pre-incarnate) walked with them.
- They came out unburned and promoted!
Even in trials that threaten to
consume you, God walks with you and brings you out better.
II. New Testament Insights
1. Jesus – The Ultimate Way
Maker – John 14:6
“I am the way, the truth, and the
life.”
- Jesus is not just a guide — He is the
Way!
- Through His death and resurrection, He made a way
to God for all sinners.
No matter how lost you feel
spiritually, Christ is the Way back to the Father.
2. God Opens Doors No Man Can
Shut – Revelation 3:7-8
“What He opens no one can shut,
and what He shuts no one can open.”
- God has sovereign control over opportunities
and breakthroughs.
- When God decides to move, no enemy or
circumstance can stop Him.
Trust His timing. What seems
closed today may be God’s preparation for a greater door tomorrow.
III. Personal Application
How Do We Respond When There
Seems to Be No Way?
- Pray with Faith – Mark 11:24
- Ask, believe, and watch.
- God honors bold, trusting prayer.
- Wait with Expectation – Psalm 27:14
- God’s delay is not denial.
- Waiting builds maturity and vision.
- Obey God’s Leading – Proverbs 3:5-6
- Even if it doesn’t make sense, trust His
direction.
- He may use unusual means (like ravens
feeding Elijah or a fish for Jonah).
💬 Practical Life Examples
- Unemployment? God can bring a job through
unexpected connections.
- Family brokenness? God restores hearts and
relationships.
- Debt or lack? God is still Jehovah-Jireh,
your Provider.
- Addiction? Jesus is able to break chains and
give new life.
Conclusion:
God specializes in the impossible.
He’s not bound by human limitation, natural laws, or your past failures.
Isaiah 43:19 again:
“Behold, I am doing a new thing…
I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”
Hold onto this promise. Your situation is not too far gone.
With God, there is always a way — even where there seems to be none.
Bible Study Questions:
- Have you ever faced a situation where you saw no
way out, but God made a way?
- What wilderness or "desert" season are
you going through right now?
- How does Isaiah 43 encourage you to trust God more
deeply today?
- What are some areas where you need to stop striving
and start waiting on God's movement?
