No Way, No How {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}

February 19, 2020 by Bethany McIlrath

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Standing on the edge of my own big, wild, crazy nightmares or dreams, I remember the words I’ve seen shared around the internet “When there isn’t a way out, go through.”

It’s true. But, sometimes, looking around, there isn’t a way through.

Sometimes the door is slammed shut in your face and all the others are locked tight too. Sometimes the diagnosis isn’t hopeful, but terminal. Sometimes you hear “health management” when you were hoping for “treatment.” Sometimes all the encouragement in the world can’t convince people in authority to say yes.

Sometimes…you know the Lord has called you, led you, brought you…but you have no idea how to continue.

The path has run out. Still, He says press on.

No way-no how, is God’s specialty.

The Israelites on the edge of the sea knew it. They didn’t devise a plot using floaties or rafts to make the voyage across. Another time, three friends didn’t perfect the first Nascar firesuit before being thrown into the blazing furnace. Daniel didn’t come out of the pit buck-naked, having used his clothes to muzzle the lions.

People told getting into heaven was like pushing a camel through the eye of a needle didn’t find their answer on Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Paul didn’t regain his eyesight and a whole new perspective on everything using a special form of Lasik.

Each of these no way-no how impossibilities were met with a God possibility.

In each of these scenarios, there was no way through. No plot to devise. No option left. Not for people with their natural limits.

BUT GOD.

He makes the way and is the how when we face our no ways, no hows.

A blogging friend of mine shares about the Lord answering her family with miracles they didn’t even know how to pray for. That is so often the case in our lives.

Sometimes our best prayer when we’re teetering on a precipice and the path has run out is “Lord, you know. I don’t. You do.” Aaaand wait. Aaaaand believe.

The Lord doesn’t just come through, He makes the “through.”

Take a look at your no way, no how. Stare it down while you balance on your tip-toes.

Your God, Our Lord, is the Maker of possible. And He’s still making possibility anew.

    Yes! Though humanly those moments are frustrating, they cause us to depend on Him completely because there’s nothing we can do. I love Jehoshaphat’s prayer in 2 Chronicles 20:12: “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”

      What a great prayer! Thanks for sharing that and joining in here! So glad we can depend on HIM!

    Hallelujah, Bethany! This post made me hopeful and worshipful or our mighty God. Love this line, “No way-no how, is God’s specialty.” Amen, friend.

    Thanks for this truth. Grateful God still parts seas, moves mountains, makes a way, sends mana from heaven, and performs miracles!

    Yes, I’ve been here myself:
    “Sometimes our best prayer when we’re teetering on a precipice and the path has run out is “Lord, you know. I don’t. You do.” Aaaand wait. Aaaaand believe.”
    Thanks for reminding us that there is always reason to hope with the Lord!

    Great post, Bethany. I especially liked this thought: “The Lord doesn’t just come through, He makes the “through.””

    Amen!
