CROSSROADS

Crucial points, especially where decision must be made are CROSSROADS. Many times in our lives we are faced with circumstances in which silence won't do. All that would be needed at such point is to make a decision and that very fast to remedy something or prevent a catastrophe. A case in point is that of the biblical Israelite in their course of journeying out of Egypt. It was a pressing situation that breeds fear; before them was an unchallengeable Red sea and behind them was a ferocious pursue of an organized slave masters under Pharaoh's leadership. You should be quick to remember, the Israelite remained at a point of either submitting and returning to the unpalatable painful experiences under their former Egyptian task master or descend into a welcoming destruction presented to them by the raging Red sea (An account recorded in Exodus13,14)
   
A central question being agitated when in a crossroad situation is that of decision. The children of Israel were faced with two unpalatable ends. Just like others who are faced with crossroads presenting hopeless ends. Crossroad triggers fear; just like the Israelites, their situation brought fear and fear was already generating overwhelming complains, arguments, accusations , loss of hope and at the most self - destructive judgement. What then is the way out in times when we are faced with crossroads? Psalm 61:2 offers the way out, "From the end of the earth will I  cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock  that is higher than I". Just like it was for the journeying Israelites, Moses cried unto God and God gave to him the strange solution to the puzzle (see Exodus 14:15,16). Believe this and it works for you, crying to the Lord is the best bet when confronted with crossroads.

Let's gain more knowledge from the psalmist as we find emphasis on this in Psalm 121:1-8 
1. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.)
  
Beloved, you see, God is only the answer to your crossroads. When decisions are difficult to make, when available options are unpalatable, when it appears your end is here at just the beginning, when it looks like your captivity are still and you are faced with the wide Red sea. Always live in the consciousness that Jesus is the only and perfect crossover in every crossroad.
 
The sure bridge to crossover victoriously in every CROSSROAD is JESUS.
