God intends for change to be a normal progression in
life. Where change is not welcomed, stagnation sets in or a crisis disrupts the
status quo. Fear and anxiety are opponents of change, but often initiate a crisis.
The time between a crisis and the occurrence of a change can be inundated with pain
and apprehension.
As difficult
as it to be stuck in the middle of a crisis, a clear picture may evolve in this
in-between state that defines changes needing to be made. Crises prompt people to
confess their sins, repent, make promises to God and renew their faith. A
crisis presents an opportunity to begin a new chapter in life.
In a personal
statement, the Apostle Paul confesses that his carnal self is dying so a new
spiritual life in Christ Jesus can thrive and grow. A crisis can be perplexing,
but God is willing to open his heart and hands to give strength and faith to
sustain believers in the depths of a crisis. For that, let us praise God and give
thanks to him.
