He Makes a Way Where There Was None

 

He Makes a Way Where There Was None


A Prophetic Word from Isaiah 43:18–20

Key Passage:

“Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert… to give drink to My people, My chosen.” — Isaiah 43:18–20

When the Wilderness Tries to Name You

You’ve wandered long enough.
The wilderness has tried to name you—forgotten, dried up, left behind.
The silence has stretched too far. The path ahead has disappeared. And the questions… they’ve grown louder than your faith.

But here, in this very place, He speaks again:

“I will do a new thing… I will even make a way.”

This is not just comfort—it’s confrontation.
A call to stop expecting God to move in yesterday’s patterns.
A plea to stop comparing your now with your then.

“Do not remember the former things… I am doing something new.”

The Red Sea was real. The manna was miraculous.
But this is different. Now, God promises a path through the wilderness—
and rivers in the very place you thought would stay barren.

Letting Go to Perceive the New

God doesn’t condemn the past. He just refuses to let it define your future.

You’ve seen Him move before.
But now He’s saying, “Don’t box Me into what I did last time. I’m not repeating miracles—I’m revealing Myself in new ways.”

This is not just a change of scenery. It’s a shift in how He carries you.
The map has changed. The method has changed. But the faithfulness has not.

He made a way through the sea once. Now, He will carve it through wilderness.
He brought water from rocks before. Now, He will release rivers—not drops—into your desert.

Can you feel the newness stirring, even in the dry earth beneath your feet?

The River Beneath Your Drought

There is water beneath your weariness.
There is a river under the dust you’ve been kicking in frustration.
And it’s not coming—it’s already prepared. It will break forth in His timing, not your striving.

Hagar was sure her journey had ended. Her strength was gone. Her child lay under a bush, dying of thirst. But in her breaking, God opened her eyes—and there it was: a well she couldn’t see before.

This is what He’s doing for you.
Where you saw endings, He reveals beginnings.
Where you saw abandonment, He uncovers abundance.
The wilderness was never the final word. He was preparing water all along.

You will drink again. You will rise again. And you will know—it was the Lord who sustained you.

This Miracle Has a Purpose

Yes, He will make a way. Yes, rivers will run.
But not just for your refreshment—for His glory.

“The beasts of the field will honor Me… because I give water in the wilderness… that My people may proclaim My praise.” (Isaiah 43:20–21)

When the rivers come, let the praise rise.

When the path appears, don’t walk silently—worship boldly.

This was never just about survival. It was about a people being formed through fire and thirst to become a sound of praise in the earth.
You are that people.
You are that voice.
And this season of drought is becoming an altar.

What Is God Asking of You Now?

  • Lay down your expectations of how He “should” move.
  • Stop rehearsing old miracles and start perceiving the new one.
  • Choose praise before the path is visible.
  • Let your wilderness become your worship place.

He’s not just calling you to walk forward—He’s calling you to rise up in adoration.

A Call to Surrender

Close your eyes for a moment.
What have you been clutching—past victories, former ways, expired hopes?
Can you lay them down and say, “Do something new, Lord—even if I don’t understand it yet.”

He’s already moving. The ground beneath you is shifting.
A new thing is springing forth.
Will you perceive it?

Reflection Questions

  1. What “former things” do you need to release in order to see the new?
  2. Where do you feel most lost or dry—and what is God trying to reveal there?
  3. How can you praise Him now, even before the way is visible?

Prayer:

Father, I give up my need to control how You move. I lay down old expectations and past provisions. Open my eyes to Your new thing. Let rivers flow where I thought nothing could grow. Fill my soul with the living water of Your presence. And when You make a way, may I not only walk it, but worship You through it. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Closing Whisper:

The dust will bloom, the dry will sing,
Where once was lack, new life shall spring.
You make a way through fear and flame,
And call Your chosen by their name.
The drought is breaking—praise will rise.
The desert drinks, and hope survives.

From Shame to Glory

Promise verse: Joel 2:26 "You will eat and be satisfied, and bless the name of the Lord your God, who has given you abundantly in everything that He has done for you. and my people shall never be put to shame" Introduction: Have you ever found yourself at such a spot where all that surrounded you seemed to be breakable? When your efforts appeared as a waste, your heart felt empty? That was the condition of Israel at the time that this promise was made to Israel, through the prophet Joel. The land suffered from locusts, crops were lost, joy was dried and covered the people with shame. But wait a minute! There comes this divine promise: My people shall not ever be ashamed. Today, under the theme From Shame to Glory let’s open this hope filled verse. 1. God Satisfies the Hungry Soul “…You shall eat and be full …” This isn't just about food. God assures to fulfill each aspect of our life. When we are empty — emotionally, spiritually, relationally, He responds with more than e...

When the Algorithm Becomes Your Altar

  Why Social Media Is Reshaping Your Identity Without You Noticing The Soul Behind the Scroll You scroll. And you shrink. Somewhere between one reel and the next, a whisper rises in your mind— “You’re not enough. You’ll never be like them.” And yet, you keep scrolling. You don’t even notice when it happens anymore. The smile fades. The shoulders slump. The peace slips. You were doing fine—until you weren’t. Welcome to the silent crisis of our generation: A shift in worship, disguised as scrolling. The algorithm didn’t just shape your feed—it began to reshape your soul. When Worth Becomes a Number "They measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves. They are not wise." — 2 Corinthians 10:12 (NIV) It begins innocently—posting a photo, sharing a thought, checking a comment. But slowly, quietly, we begin to live not from truth but from perception. Not from identity but performance. We start to believe that attention ...

The Way Is Still Right

  “Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.” — Hosea 14:9 There comes a time when life feels like it’s asking us for answers we no longer have. Even leaders—seasoned, polished, well-versed—can feel lost. You may be the one others turn to, but inside, you're stumbling through invisible terrain. The path forward seems unclear. The way back? Even harder to find. But Hosea 14:9 draws a clear line: There is a path. And it’s still right. The Ways of the Lord Are Right God’s ways are not random. They are righteous. “Good and upright is the Lord; therefore He teaches sinners in the way.” — Psalm 25:8 “The Lord is just in all His ways and kind in all His works.” — Psalm 145:17 In a culture where right and wrong seem to shift with the times, Hosea reminds us: the ways of the Lord haven’t changed. They are still upright (Deuteronomy 32:4)...
