learning DAILY



John 14:6, Jesus said to Him, “I am the way, the truth, the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.”

My entire purpose for writing this blog is to be an encouragement to all who take the time to read what is written.  All of us need to be encouraged and be reminded of the hope we have in Jesus Christ, especially in the times we currently find ourselves in.  We all need the hope we have in Him each day, coronavirus or no coronavirus.  If you have been encouraged by this blog, you might know others who might be encouraged by it as well. 

One of my favorite contemporary Christian songs is titled Way Maker.  It reminds me that the Lord is always faithful.  We may not “feel” His presence, not “feel” His hand upon us but remember walking with God is not a feeling.  It is a walk of faith!  He is with us through every situation we are in.  Like Daniel in the Lion’s Den, like the three Hebrews in Nebuchadnezzar’s fire, like He was with the Apostle Paul through out his life, God is always with us. 

Jesus Christ is the way to God the Father, to eternal life in heaven.  No one can do enough good things to merit heaven.  Jesus Christ provided the way by His death on the cross for our sins and through His resurrection on the third day.  When we accept that He took our place on the cross the Holy Spirit lives within us leading into a deeper walk with Him cleansing and purifying and helping us to do good works for Him.  Jesus Christ is the Way Maker.

He is the Way Maker when we need guidance and wisdom that only He can give – when we do not know what to do.

He is the Way Maker when we need to know the difference between good and evil - when it is not evident.

He is the Way Maker when fear and uncertainty want to control our thoughts and actions.

He is the Way Maker when jobs are lost and we do not know how we are going to meet our financial obligations.

He is the Way Maker when illness comes or coronavirus threatens.

He is the Way Maker when we place our trust in Him to protect us and keep us from evil.

He is the Way Maker when __________________________. You fill in the blank for your specific need.

Regardless of how long you have walked with the Lord, be encouraged this day that Jesus Christ is with you.  His promise is to never leave nor forsake you (Hebrew 13:5); He is the hope of all Believers.
