Journey to Christmas with the Midwives of the Messiah: God Will Make a Way
by Sharon W. Betters
TODAY’S TREASURE
…but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. -Romans 5:8
My friend couldn’t accompany me to the event where I was speaking but the two hours passed quickly as I listened to inspirational music and mulled over my prepared message. One song, new to me, caught my attention and I played it over and over again. Soon tears streamed down my cheeks as the words took root in my heart. Why was I so moved by this particular song? Unbeknownst to me, God planted that song in my heart as preparation for what was to come. Several months later, its message carried me through the dark night of the soul in the months after the fatal car accident of our son and his friend.

Let that Scripture sink in. Read it again. While I was still a sinner, helpless on my own, with no way to save myself, God showed His love for me by sending His only Son, Jesus, to take on my sin, to die for me, to rise again and conquer death. This God, the only God, will make a way for me when there seems to be no way. Do you know Jesus? Is He your Savior? Trust He will make a way for you, too.
God Will Make a Way
Don Moen
God will make a way Where there seems to be no way He works in ways we cannot see He will make a way for me
He will be my guide Hold me closely to His side With love and strength for each new day He will make a way, He will make a way
By a roadway in the wilderness, He’ll lead me And rivers in the desert will I see Heaven and Earth will fade but His Word will still remain And He will do something new today
Oh, God will make a way Where there seems to be no way He works in ways we cannot see He will make a way for me
