“When written in Chinese, the word “crisis” is composed of two characters; one represents danger and the other represents opportunity.” John F. Kennedy
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
Crossroads: “a point at which a crucial decision must be made that will have far-reaching consequences” Hew Oxford American Dictionary
Ok, so we all know what the word “crossroads” refers to. But the reason I decided to put it in today’s message is because it happens to be a synonym of crisis. We all have times when we go through particular crisis’, and in most cases we can’t change that. What we can do is change the way we react to crisis’. The best way to do that I think is to change the way we define crisis, from a definition that is completely negative to a definition that is as much positive as negative. Yes, every crisis comes with its challenges, but also with opportunity. Let’s try to view crisis as a crossroads in life where we can choose to make the best of the opportunities it affords instead of succumbing to its challenges.
