God will make a way (神必开路)

Recently, I felt trapped in my job search. There seemed to be no way. Then I heard the Holy Spirit whispering this song ‘God will make a way, where there seems to be no way’. The Lord also led me to paint this painting, ‘God will make a way’. By faith, I proclaimed that God will make a way for me. God reminded me how He opened the way in the Red Sea for the Israelites to leave Egypt. Pharoah’s army was chasing the Israelites. The Israelites had the sea in front of them. Then God told Moses to stretch out his hand over the sea. God drove the sea back with a strong wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.
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
He will do something new today
After I had painted the painting, God did give me a job and I felt very relieved. There have been times when I questioned God’ ability to intervene in my circumstance. I felt that He just left men to decide the outcome. I even doubted if He is Almighty God. 。Now I can say that, all things are possible with God. He is doing something new today in my life. During my time out , I realized that it’s a new season for painting and writing. Now, I also have a new job which is different from what I used to do.
Mark 10:27
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
I painted a cross at the end of the dry path. We must seek God first and know that He is the way, before He opens a way for us. Many non-believers (and even Christians) always worry about what they eat and drink, or if they will have enough money to retire early. They just do not want to seek God first and rely on Him to provide and to resolve a problem. They just want to fix their problem their own way without giving a slightest thought about God. We must remember that God is our help and guide till the end.
I also feel encouraged that when I painted the prophetic painting, the outcome turned to be exactly as what I have painted. Previously, I have painted some prophetic paintings for nations. By faith, I proclaimed the salvation and destiny of various nations. I did not even see a single soul got saved. I asked God if I was disillusioned. Will these people get saved before the rapture? God says there is timing and season for everything. So, I will just have to trust Him.
神必开路
我最近找工时觉得完全没有出路。脑裹就听到这首歌, ‘神要开道路,在旷野无路之处,虽未看见,祂已看顾,祂要为我开道路。神就叫我画这幅画’ 神必开路’’。 我靠着信心便画了这幅画,并信神会为我开路。神跟我说当以色列人被埃及法老的军队追赶时,他们前面只有红海。衪便叫摩西向红海举起手。神便把海分开并将海娈成她。以色列人便在地上通过红海。
神要开道路,在旷野无路之处
虽未看见,祂已看顾,祂要为我开道路
祂是我引导,领我靠近祂怀抱
爱和力量,日日帮助
祂要开道路,祂要开道路
祂必在旷野里,开道路引领我
在沙漠中,开江河供应我
天地将要废去,祂的话语永常存
在今日,祂要作新事
当我画了画后,神便给了我一份工作。我便送一口气。我,曾怀疑神可否帮我。我觉得神只是容许人作出决定。我更怀疑衪是否全能的神。现在我能说神无难事。衪为我打开人生新的一页。当我在等侯工作的事侯,我便知道这是开始画画和写作的季节。我新工作的性质跟以前的工作也不同。
马 可 福 音 10:27
27 耶 稣 看 着 他 们 , 说 : 在 人 是 不 能 , 在 神 却 不 然 , 因 为 神 凡 事 都 能 。
天地将要废去,祂的话语永常存在
今日,祂要作新事
我在道路的尽头画了一个十字架。我们一定要先寻求神并知通耶稣是为一的道路。然后神必开路。很多未信主的人甚至基督徒也担心吃喝什么,甚至够不够钱提早退体。他们不愿意依靠神的供应和为他们解决问题。他们只想靠自己解决问题。我们要记着神是我们的依靠和神带领我们到底。
我为着我的画在现实成真而鼓舞。我先前画了数幅国家的异象画。我宣告神对列国的救恩和计划。但是在我周围的人没有一个信主。我问主这是不是我的幻想。这些人会否在基督徒被提前得救?神说万时也有季节。我只好信靠衪了。
