We travel through many crossroads in life. Each provides an opportunity to test our values and prove our faith; bring our values into alignment with God’s. The more our values come into alignment with God’s, the more we get to participate in His blessings.
RELEVANCE
Whatever choice you make, look for redemptive values. Since God’s nature is redemptive, every path of life brings lessons to learn of God’s redemptive nature. Detours that seem to derail us can become detours to destiny. Even dead-ends can prove fruitful; for therein lie God’s greatest moments for intervention! He simply waits for us to seek Him for His solution.
“He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
(Psalm 23:3-4)
REFLECT AND RELATE
The crossroads is a good place to look back and learn from the lessons of the past. What lessons has God recently taught you that may be applied going forward?
