This is what the Lord says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls...
Jeremiah 6:16 NIV
Sometimes the unexpected crossroads is an opportunity - a job, course of study, travel...and sometimes it's loss, dissapoointment, tragedy...grief...hurt
The first thing God says here is to stand.
Take some time.
Stay still, don't be hasty.
Look.
Think, assess, pray
When we look sometimes we see things in a new light...at a crossroads we can sometimes see a new horizon as we lift our eyes, lift our vision...and whether it's good, challenging, tough... or sad - stand at the crissroads & look beyond...

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
