Testimony: God Made a Way

[Smuohaven]

I just want to thank God for answering my prayer. I had reached a point where I honestly didn’t know who else to turn to. I was worried about where we would stay and how I would manage everything. I prayed and asked God to speak to the landlord’s heart and give me favor. God made a way. The landlady agreed to allow my sister and me to move in today and gave me time to settle the remaining balance. What looked impossible this morning, God has made possible. Thank You, Lord, for provision, favor, and for touching her heart. I give You all the glory. You truly made a way where I could not see one. Amen.

We rejoice with you and give thanks to God with you for this beautiful testimony of His provision and favor. What looked impossible this morning, God has made possible, and we join you in giving Him all the glory. We know the worry and uncertainty you felt about where you and your sister would stay and how you would manage everything, and we praise God that He heard your prayer and touched the landlady's heart.

We are reminded of His promise in Isaiah 43:19, Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don't you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. And in Psalm 34:4, I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Your story is a living example that He still makes a way where we see no way, and that He is faithful to provide for His children.

We also remember the promise in Philippians 4:19, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. And in James 1:17, Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights. This favor and this open door came from His hand.

We join our faith with yours and pray together.

Father, we thank You in the name of Jesus for Your mercy and provision for our sister and her sister. Thank You for hearing her cry, for softening the landlady's heart, and for making a way for them to have a place to stay today. Thank You for Your favor and for giving time to settle the remaining balance. We ask You to continue to provide for every need, to grant wisdom and strength to steward well what You have provided, and to help her honor her commitment to pay what is owed. Bless the landlady for her kindness and draw her closer to You. Let this testimony be a witness of Your goodness to many others who are worried and waiting for their own breakthrough. Establish this new home in peace and let it be a place where Your name is praised. We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.

We encourage you to continue to trust Him for the remaining balance and for every next step, as Proverbs 3:5-6 says, Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. He who began this good work will be faithful to complete it, for He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think as Ephesians 3:20 tells us.

We notice your testimony speaks of God and the Lord, and we rejoice that you turned to Him in prayer. We gently want to remind you that it is through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is by His name that our prayers are heard and we are saved. Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 says, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. If you have not already, we encourage you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, for through Him we have forgiveness, adoption, and confident access to God's throne of grace. We praise God for what He has done and we pray you will continue to seek Him through Jesus with thanksgiving.

We give glory to God with you and pray He will continue to establish you and your sister in peace and provision.

We were so encouraged to read your testimony. Thank you for taking time to share what God has done for you and your sister.

We can hear the relief in your words, moving from not knowing where you would stay this morning to having a place to move into today. It is a beautiful thing to see God touch a heart and open a door you could not open on your own, and to give you time and breathing room to take the next steps.

Gratitude has a way of helping us pause and really take in that we have received something good, and that we were not alone in the struggle. Holding onto this memory will be an anchor for you in the days ahead when new worries arise.

A small practical step that may help you steward this provision well is to keep clear communication with your landlady about the remaining balance. If you can, put the agreement in writing with dates you both understand and keep it where you can see it. It honors her kindness and helps you walk forward with peace and clarity. A simple thank you note to her would also be a lovely way to acknowledge her grace.

Father, we thank You together for the provision and favor You have shown. We ask You to establish this home in peace, provide for every need, and continue to guide these sisters step by step. Keep their hearts full of thanksgiving. In Jesus' name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

What a gracious testimony you have borne, and how rightly you have given all the glory to the Lord. We rejoice with you and with your sister, and we join you in thanksgiving to Him who hears prayer.

You prayed when you did not know where to turn, and asked the Lord to speak to the heart of your landlady and to grant you favor, and He has done so. What looked impossible this morning He has made possible. This is the way of our God, who when He turns in a way of grace to His people seems to fly upon the wings of the wind to display His favor and His love toward the objects of His choice. Like a good captain who makes provision for every emergency before His soldiers come to their need, so the Lord had prepared this mercy for you, and brought up His provision in the hour of necessity.

We read in your words a crowning mercy, and such crowning mercies call for crowning thanksgiving. All the year round, every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us, both when we sleep and when we wake His mercy waits upon us, but when He crowns the year or crowns the day with special goodness, we ought to come into His presence with the voice of joy and thanksgiving, each one bearing his offering of gratitude, and worshipping and bowing down before Him with inward emotions of a thankful heart.

Your testimony is personal, and therein lies its power. This is the usual mode of divine operation, that the testimony of one renewed soul should be blessed to another, and so the kingdom of Christ should be propagated. Proclaim then what the Lord has done for you, for personal experience is a more complete witness than words alone can convey, and your earnest word concerning His provision may lead another to seek the same gracious God.

We thank the Lord with you for a roof over your heads, for favor in the eyes of your landlady, and for time graciously given to settle what remains. We will pray that He who has begun to provide will continue to supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus, and that He will establish you in peace and give you grace to walk before Him with faithful and thankful hearts.

May you still put your trust wholly in Him, not in man, and may this mercy be as incense beaten small and laid before the testimony, a sweet savor unto the Lord who has met with you. To Him be all praise, who truly makes a way where we can see none.
