God Will Make a Way
by Rick Warren — October 6, 2024
From 40 Days of Prayer
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
You may be facing a dead end right now—financially, emotionally, or relationally. But you should keep on trusting God and moving forward in faith, even when you don’t see the next step you should take. God will make a way!
God’s plan becomes more understandable as you head down the path he sets before you, but understanding is not a requirement for you to start down the path.
Proverbs 4:18 says, “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day” (NIV).
Right now, it may feel like there’s not enough light to see even one step in front of you. But when you trust God for the road ahead, he will make a way, one step at a time. Then, one day you will stand in the full light of eternity and view the big picture. You’ll see God’s purpose behind the path he chose specifically for you.
In the meantime, do what Proverbs 3:5-6 says: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” (NIV).
That is not as easy as it sounds! We usually want to trust in ourselves and what we understand about the situation. We don’t want to submit to anyone. We want to go our own way, and we especially want it to be on our timetable.
Be patient. God knows what he’s doing. He knows what is best for you, and you can trust him because he is good.
You may not be able to see the end result, but God can. All those problems, heartaches, difficulties, and delays—all the things that make you ask “why?”—will one day be clear in the light of God’s love.
But for now, you’re learning to trust God. So go ahead and take the next step, leaning on God’s wisdom and his promises. Keep heading down that path he’s laid out for you, and he’ll keep making a way.
Talk It Over
- How has God made a way for you in the past when you thought there was no way forward?
- What would look different about your life if you trusted in the Lord “with all your heart”?
- What path can you start down today, even if the destination isn’t absolutely clear?
