Come Out of the Crisis and Into Christ

Have you been challenged in the midst of a crisis? Before you can get through one mess, another is seen on the horizon? Are you so focused on the crisis, you overlook the opportunity that travels with the crisis? Then this message is for you. A crisis is depicted as a critical point or state of affairs; a crucial or decisive point or situation; and/or a turning point.  It can also be considered a sudden change in the course of a disease or fever, toward either improvement or deterioration. Oftentimes, we are challenged during the most critical times in our life to do something we feel we are not equipped to handle. God will call you or challenge you to do something beyond your means, but not your ability and certainly not beyond his grace. He tells us in His Word, His grace is sufficient for us. Therefore, when a crisis shows up in your life, it does not show up just for the sake of showing up. It shows up because within the crisis, there is usually a silver lining; a breakthrough, a breaking of day, and most often a brand new opportunity. All things work together for the good. Therefore, don't spend time looking at the crisis, your time will be best spent focusing on the opportunities that are presented with it.
