Most of this song was scribbled, partly composed, semi-recorded and filed away almost ten years prior to this ep’s release. After my father died in 2018, I had a lot of questions. God spoke to me with Jeremiah 33:3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” This taught me so much more about how concerned God is about all of my cares.
I would tell God: Daddy was in the middle of xyz. We were in the middle of plans and discussions about abc. We were praying about lmnop etc. Jesus, what about stuvw? Lord I thank you for my dad. Lord I’m grateful that so many people are deeply moved by Path of Life and Bible Study With Dad, but how do we deal with…and etc. etc. I would tell God about it all. He is completely ok with you and I telling and seeking him about everything and anything! He already knows all our thoughts and feelings, but he welcomes us telling him all about them.
Dad’s last convocation theme came from 1st Samuel 30:6 where the verse says: “…and David encouraged himself in the Lord.” The Lord reminded me what he gave me that I had vaulted. Ironically, my already written verse began with: “I encourage myself in the Lord and believe his promises. God will make a way, He will make a way”.
I remember looking deeper into Isaiah 40 & 41 (sometime after that initial scribble) where God promised to give power to the weak and strength to the powerless. And, those who trust in him will be renewed. So, since I’m still a work in progress, this is how I respond and step forward: in a way more confident, understanding God is concerned about and has not forgotten me.
When it feels like I’ve lost the fight, God is giving power to the weak, strength to the powerless, and as I continue trusting him I will be able to access even more of His strength.
Christian people go through night seasons too, but this one was significantly different for me. At times I felt almost overcome. What’s also amazing is that God gave me something in the past that I did not know then I would need now! So, in the more recent times when I felt like I couldn’t make it and the pain was so overwhelming, whether it was momentary or a week at a time; God was encouraging me from 2011 that He would make a way for me.
So…God Will Make A Way, the song that first came to me just after midnight on a September night in 2011 has become the response to my current situation. Sometimes, God gives you what you need, long before you recognize you need it!
This is my response to my situation in all this grief. I square my shoulder and confidently step forward believing and understanding that God Will Make A Way.
What is your response to difficulty, adversity, and night seasons? Here’s an encouraging song to remind you to encourage yourself in the Lord who has promised: to make darkness light, to straighten the crooked things, to make rivers in high places, and to make fountains in valleys. Tell your night season about the one who makes the weak become strong and his unlimited ability to supply all your needs.
In putting this ep together, I decided to release a remake of my very first song: “Teach Me Thy Way”, a remix of Tell it To Jesus, and my acoustic unplugged “One Family”. I placed them on the God Will Make A Way Ep.
This ep connects my past and future in a very unique way. As I move forward, I’m singing these words in my situation. Invite your friends join you singing these words of faith and life in your adverse situations: God Will Make A Way!
