God turn it around. How wonderful it is to know that God can turn your situation around. Are you willing to take the subtle hints of your need to turn around? Not just turn it around, but do so for the best interest of others – even for your own good! One familiar example to us is Paul, an apostle of the early church. Before Paul’s transition, he was known by the name of Saul. Saul was well-known for his zeal to persecute Christian believers. Today, his turnaround is the topic of many sermons and teachings. Your turnaround also can be a blessing to others.
Amazing Turns
Have you ever started on a trip and then realized you need to change your direction? The point of this conversation is to point out that the turnarounds can be good. Does it make sense to continue a path that leads to deadly consequences? It is not a physical death, but it can mean emotional or financial loss. It is a wonderful thing to make a U-turn to stop the collision or bleeding.
Pivot
I enjoy watching basketball. Sports are great examples of how teams pivot for the win. For example, the coach can change players. The strategy is a pivot. The player might be the most popular on the team. However, if the coach knows the team needs to pivot for the win, the decision is to pivot. The coach does what is best for the team. Are you willing to allow God to turn it around?
Unhealthy
How healthy do you choose to be? At this point, I ask this question for a simple reason. Not turning around can lead to bad health. For instance, if the physician told you that salt is not good for your health, would you still consume it? Would you continue to increase your intake more and more? This is the same phenomenon in society. If you see that each decision results in loss and destruction, is it reasonable to stay the course? Consequently, a society that follows unhealthy leadership will suffer deadly consequences.
Paul vs Saul
On the road to Damascus, with the purpose of executing more Christians, Saul had an unexpected spiritual meeting with God. The importance of this meeting is countless lives were saved because of Saul’s turnaround. Saul’s zeal for persecution changed, and Paul was resurrected with a zeal to save lives for the kingdom. In comparison, what is the style of your leadership? Is it more like Saul or Paul?
Are you willing to make leadership changes for the good of people? Or are you willing to collide with the Creator?
