After Daddy's accident, God has been teaching us lot of things. This morning Daddy just told me to type this, felt like publishing it here. Hope it blesses you if you are going through some crisis.
Sometimes or the other in our life we face Crisis Experiences. Serious sickness, unexpected death of loved one, or even accidents can be a Crisis Experiences to some. For others it could be marital unfaithfulness, break away of relationships, financial crisis or a spiritual crisis. In Gods economy we all can learn life lessons in these Crisis Experiences. The following are the three important life lessons that we can learn in Crisis Experiences.
1.LEARNING FROM THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
3. LEARNING TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT OTHER GO THROUGH
The Lord Jesus becoming human is to identify with what we
go through. Therefore He was compassionate towards the Crisis Experience of
humanity. “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with
our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we
are — yet was without sin.” - Hebrews 4:15. Just as our Lord understood what we
go through in Crisis let us also understand others in their time of crisis. We
understand others better when we ourselves go through the Crisis Experiences they
go through. Learning to understand what others go through in our Crisis
Experiences is a life lesson.

The following are the three important life lessons that we can learn in Crisis Experiences.
1.LEARNING FROM THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
Whatever the crisis experiences we may face, we can always
learn something about the Sovereignty of God. God is Sovereign. He is the
controller of the Universe. It is true we may not understand God’s Sovereign
dealings. But we can always believe in the Sovereignty of God. King Nebuchadnezzar
had a very serious Crisis Experience. He became like an animal. He had this Crisis
Experience for seven long years. But he learnt a precious lesson on the Sovereignty
of God. We read about it in Daniel 4:35, “He does as He pleases with the powers
of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back His hand or say to
him: ‘What have you done?’”. Learning about the Sovereignty of God in our
Crisis Experiences is a life lesson.
2. LEARNING NOT TO TRUST IN
OURSELVES
This is a very important life lesson that many miss out in
normal life situation. We all have a strong self-will. Watchman Nee says most believers
do not learn this important lesson before going to heaven. Once you learn this
you will be dynamite for God. When Apostle Paul was in the province of Asia, he
has a series of Crisis Experience. Kindly note the lesson that he learnt
through it all. “Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this
happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.”-
2 Corinthians 1:9. Learning not to trust in ourselves in our Crisis Experiences
is a life lesson.
Crisis Experiences in life need not paralyze our life for God on this earth!Amy Carmichael was a missionary in India, who opened an orphanage and founded a mission in Dohnavur in Tamil Nadu. She served in India for 55 years without furlough and wrote about many books. She had a Crisis Experience in 1932. She had a fall and severely injured. Carmichael remained bedridden for the final 20 years of her life. However, it did not stop her from continuing her inspirational writing, for she published 16 additional books, as well as revised others she had previously published.
