Facing a Crisis
Can God help me through it?
|
 |
No one really likes it. Yet it happens to all of us time and again. I'm talking about crisis. You don't see it coming. You have no control over it. You're not even sure what step to take next - much less knowing all the necessary steps to take to bring it to an end. That's crisis.
What do you do in a time of crisis? Who do you go to for help? Who helps you understand what's going on and why? Who do you lean on for strength and support?

Who carries you through those times of crisis to better and brighter days?
From my experience, there is only person who can really help every time. I'm talking about our Savior God, Jesus Christ.
Jesus once said, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). When crisis hits, I remember these "tell it like it is" words of Jesus. He reminds you and me that we shouldn't be surprised by times of trouble and crisis in our lives. In truth, he says we should expect that these times will come.
Why? We live in a world filled with crisis - brought on by our own mistakes as well as the failures of others. All of our troubles remind us that our greatest crisis isn't about money or health or national security or personal safety. The greatest crisis we face - a crisis of our own making - is a broken relationship with our Creator God.
