At The Juncture

At the Juncture

An informal definition of a juncture is when things come together, and there is a connection, then one must act wisely. Literally, it is some point in time where a critical decision must be made. A crisis.

Crisis from the same root makes the word “cross,” is simply being in a situation where a decision has to be made – like standing at a crossroad. Some people cope very well in crisis. They know which road is the best and march along it with confidence. Still some people just can’t do anything. By doing either nothing or the wrong thing, they make the crisis worse.

Here are self-help tips from different people in all walks of life:

1. Don’t rush.

Awareness is the key. See the outcome in your mind and take responsibility of your actions. Pray for wisdom the Holy Spirit gives. Prioritize life over money. Move forward, honestly, in the hope of getting to your goal, but never greedy for a win-win outcome.

2. Keep calm.

If you panic, the situation will become worst. And more people will act the same as you do, or bad guys will laugh out loud. Calmness will attract common sense and wisdom.

3. Get help.

We are endowed with talents as we are different parts of one body. A body in perfect creation of God works well if parts of it work together. For example: In an accident, you can be more of use as a help-fetcher, and let an expert do saving a life (doctors, police, nurse, medical staff, etc.)

4. Plan Ahead

You have to be aware of your next action after. Yes, after the first action like playing chess.

Here we learn lessons. Any situation can happen to anyone. We’re just on different boats and different points in time. Remember: As long as there is breath, there is life. As long as there are good people, there will be solutions. As long as there is God, we will find a way out - in whatever way or miracles at the juncture. This happens.
