Crossroads

I wish a Marvelous Monday to everyone! I am grateful to our Heavenly Father for another opportunity to get it right. Life can sometimes leave us perplexed or cynical about the future that is ahead of us. Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads or are you in one right now ? I am talking about reaching a point when one is no longer sure about what to do, which way one should go, what direction one should follow or having no clues about the right decisions to make. Well, that's what I have been experiencing all throughout 2011. I have pondered so many times if my present condition was due to some decisions that I made in the past. While I cannot affirmatively answer , I know that I allowed myself to become helpless. It took me many months before realizing that I was living in a state of denial. I have become a "sucker for punishment" by allowing the "master illusionist", Satan to pollute my mind with his lies. Rather than confronting the problem, I was a victim. I was turning in circles rather than making progress. I convinced myself that no matter how much I try, I would eventually fail. How pathetic of me! I understand we all go through some rough patches and we all have low points in life. However, it is dangerous to allow your mind to sink so low that you no longer believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel or the dreams that God placed in your heart will not come to pass. That is a lie from the pit of hell! Crossroads are "make or break" moments. We can either use them as opportunities to change the course of our lives for the better or they can be a nuisance, which would eventually kill our God-given destiny.
The choice is ours. Thankfully, the Word of God is a compass  that will illuminate our paths during these uncertain times . This is a period when we should not abandon God but rather cling to Him with all we got: mind, body, soul and spirit. God knows what is best for us and He will never mislead us.If you want to know the way, follow the Way, Jesus. (John 14: 6). I also find comfort in knowing that our Heavenly Father is aware of every detail concerning our lives and He cares. As long as we submit to His will, we shall receive the answer. The Bible declares in Isaiah 30:23:


"Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left."

What a blessed assurance! As long as we have God on our side, He will reverse the situation and push the "reset" button so that we can move forward with a clean record. How do I know? God is doing it in my life and He will do it for you as well if you accept to surrender all to Him.
I am inviting you to listen to the following worship song and to let the lyrics soak in your spirit.

Prayer: Thank you Heavenly Father for turning around what the enemy intended for bad. You are the one who straighten crooked paths.As we conform our will to Your will, we pray that you direct every step we take. As the song writer says: " whatever you do in this season, do not do it without us." We are like lost sheep without your guidance. You are All-knowing and we praise you for making a way where there seems to be no way. In Jesus' Name. Amen!

May your life be a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God !
