EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WE COME TO A POINT WHERE WE MUST MAKE AN IMPORTANT DECISION. THIS DECISION WOULD, WITHOUT DOUBT, CHANGE OUR ENTIRE LIFE EITHER FOR GOOD OR FOR BAD; IT WOULD EITHER BUILD US UP OR TEAR US DOWN. SUCH A POINT IS CALLED CROSSROADS.
CROSSROADS COME AT EVERYONE WHO IS MATURE ENOUGH TO MAKE LIFE-CHANGING DECISIONS AND BE LIABLE FOR THEM.
IT COULD BE A YOUNG TEENAGER WHO IS FACED WITH A DECSION TO GIVE-UP A LIFE-THREATENING ADDICTION AND EMBRACE A NEW LIFE; A WOMAN WHO MUST DECIDE WHO AMONG HER SUITORS SHE MUST MARRY; A YOUNG MAN WHO MUST DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO QUIT HIS WELL-PAYING, SECULAR JOB AND LAUNCH FULLY INTO THE MINISTRY GOD HAS CALLED HIM INTO; A YOUNG CHRISTIAN WOMAN WHO IS FACED WITH A DECISION OF BREAKING OFF AN UNGODLY RELATIONSHIP WITH A MAN SHE IS IN LOVE WITH.
NO MATTER THE NATURE OF THE DECISION, THERE IS ALWAYS A FAR-REACHING CONSEQUENCE ATTACHED TO IT.
I MYSELF AM AT A CROSSROADS AND SO I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE PRESSURE IT CAN POSE. I’M AT A POINT WHERE I HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT MINISTRY, MARRIAGE, EDUCATION, FAMILY, AND LIFE IN GENERAL. THE FACT THAT MY LIFE WOULD BE AFFECTED PERMANENTLY BY WHATEVER I DECIDE CONCERNING THESE AREAS, MAKES THE SITUATION ALL THE MORE INTOLERABLE.
I STAND ON A CROSSROADS BUT I NEED TO MAKE PROGRESS.THE CLOCK IS TICKING AND I NEED TO MAKE MY DECISION AND STAND ON IT. WHERE CAN I GO FROM HERE? WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR ME? WHO CAN UNDERSTAND THE DEPTH OF MY HEART? WHO CAN UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS TIME FOR ME TO MOVE ON, TO STEP UP, AND TO ADVANCE? WHO CAN UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS TIME TO FULLY DELVE INTO WHAT GOD HAS CALLED ME TO?
MY HEART IS MEANT FOR THE LORD. I WANT TO BE WHO HE WANTS ME TO BE. IT IS ONLY HIM THAT CAN POINT ME TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION. HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT UNDERSTANDS.
SO, I WILL WAIT ON HIM TO SEE ME THROUGH THIS CROSSROADS AND BRING ME TO AN END THAT WILL GLORIFY HIM AND MAKE ME HAPPY.
I BELIEVE HE ORDERS MY STEPS.
