Berry Patch Devotions in 2021 - Day 260
Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ... Please take the time to take in a song and lyrics from Don Moen singing … God Will Make A Way … poignantly singing of how our God makes a way in the wilderness of life when there simply seems no way thru.
==============
Highlight Passage: Isiah 43:18 [NLT] …
18 I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
… God repeats His promise thru Isaiah to make a way to the promised land thru the wilderness they were in at the time.

Reference Passage: … Galatians 2:20 [NLT] …

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Patricia Raybon, AT THIS LINK … related a story of a WW2 English Vicar who cleverly moved a fence to accommodate the burial of an American Soldier showing that there was a way to conceal the burial even when there didn’t seem to be a way.
And often that’s the way it is with God, isn’t it? We may have trouble seeing a way to go in life; but as Don Moen sings in the linked song, our Lord can - and often does - make a way - a new way - even when there seems to be no way. And I pray to day that EVERYDAY we seek to follow HIS WAY thru the wilderness of this life, just as God promised and did so for those who believed in and now follow Him in faith.
Yes, dear one, our God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me Your “GPS” - i.e., your word - to follow today to lead me to find Your way thru the wilderness.
My Prayer Today: : Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to seek out and follow Your way today - and tomorrow. … Amen
