[Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: The Lord will make room for you

Read: Mark 2:1-4

Meditation verse:

“Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty  waters” (Isaiah 43:16).

My Consulting Office is in a serviced complex where the parking spaces are not  enough to serve every office. So parking is on a first come, first serve basis. On  this morning as I approached the gate, I could see that all the parking spaces had  been taken. But just as I drove in through the gate, someone pulled out from the  first parking space, making room for me to park my car in that choice location.  Instinctively, it dawned on me that this was a prophetic word for the moment  as I heard the following words in my spirit “so will the Lord make room for you  wherever you need to flourish, even though it may seem crowded in the  moment”.  

Four men wanted Jesus to heal their paralytic friend whom they carried on a  bed, but they could not gain access to Jesus because of the crowd. So, they  uncovered the roof of the building where Jesus was, let down the bed on which  the paralytic was lying. And Jesus honoured their faith. In today’s competitive  and overcrowded marketplace, where the competition is stiff, and opportunities  are few, you may have become stranded in life. Perhaps you desire that job,  position, promotion, or contract, but can’t seem to make a headway due to lack  of access. And unlike the paralytic who was lucky enough to have friends who  could help him gain access, you may not even have anyone, no networks, no  connectionsto help you gain access. If this is your story, then the prophetic word  I received that morning is for you.  

The Lord will make room for you in that area that currently seems out of your  reach. Suddenly, someone will pull out of the race, and you will be just in the  right place at the right moment to occupy the space. If God can make a road in  the wilderness and rivers in the desert, certainly, He can make room for you in  any sphere of endeavour in today’s marketplace.  

The song writer says: 

“God will make a way when there seems to be no way. He works in ways we  cannot see; He will make a way. He will be my guide, hold me closer to His side,  with love and strength for each new day, He will make a way, He will make a  way” Make this song your declaration and let your faith come alive again.
