Real Hope: Finding Hope in IsaiahSample

I've Hit A Crossroad

Have you ever hit a crossroad in your life where you’re unsure which way to go? A crossroad is a place of decision that will affect the course or direction of your life. Which path will you take? The choice is up to you. Just because a course of action seems right doesn’t guarantee it’s right. And just because another path may seem unpleasant or contrary to what we think is best doesn’t mean it’s wrong. I know from my own life that sometimes the way forward is going sideways or backward!

The Bible says, ‘All the paths of the LORD are lovingkindness and goodness and truth and faithfulness. To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies’ (Psalm 25:10 AMP). So, when you face crossroads in life, take some time to share the dilemma with God, then wait until you have peace to move in a direction and trust in your Good Shepherd. 

Sometimes life’s circumstances cause us to face crossroads with confusion. So, don’t be afraid to ask for directions and seek counsel from those who have answers. Be rest assured that God knows the end from the beginning, and He will lead you in the best way for you. Proverbs 3:5–6 says to ‘Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take’ (Proverbs 3:5–6 NLT).

If you decide to trust God – no matter what you may see, think, or feel – when you stand at a crossroad in your life, you’ll be able to hear the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit say in your heart, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’
