Crisis never seems like a gift; yet crisis comes to everyone. It usually grabs hold of us and shakes us until it has extracted every resource we possess. It’s just a matter of survival until the storm is over. Perhaps we should take another look at the elements of a crisis.
A common result of a crisis is that it generates movement on our part. It’s impossible to remain stationary. Someone said that in Chinese, the word "crisis" is made of two characters, one represents danger, and the other represents opportunity. Danger produces anxiety, yet opportunity generates fresh energy and optimism. Therefore, crisis can be the early stages of a fresh, new season for your life. This new season is a gift from God.
God’s gift often ignites anxiety as well as optimism. He comes to birth a reversal to an impossible circumstance (Crisis). Our challenge is to embrace the crisis, dominate the circumstance, and separate the rubbish from the gift. Now, celebrate the gift of a fresh new season of harvest as well as a resolved adversity. Receive God’s gift of a new season emerging in the midst of crisis.
