Getting Set For the Y-Junctions of Your Life

Have you ever gotten to a Y-junction and you turned off to the wrong road before realizing it? Many people often turn the wrong way when they get to the Y-junctions of their lives. Unfortunately, it takes some of them a long time to get back on track and some others never get back on track. This post tells you what to do to ensure that you turn to the right way when you get to the Y- junctions of your life.

And though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore, but your eyes shall see your teachers. Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left – Isaiah 30:20-21 (NKJV).

Introduction

We all have Y-junctions to meet in life. However, how prepared and knowledgeable you are ahead of time determines the way you will turn off to. Y-junctions in one’s life are those points of decision making where you don’t have much time to consider the pros and cons of your choices, before choosing the option to follow.
Y-junction is a road intersection that has three arms that are equal in size. Unlike a T-junction, you normally will not need to stop before turning off to the road you want to take. This means you will need to know the route well, otherwise, you may turn off to the wrong road. And in so doing, it will cost you some time and energy to get back on the right road when you realize the mistake. Signpost on the road indicating the presence of Y-junction ahead warns you ahead of time. And it gives you enough time to decide which turn off to continue on ahead of time.
The Holy Spirit serves as our signpost in life that warns us and prepares us for these Y-junctions ahead of time. He is the voice that we hear behind us telling us which way to take. And He ensures that our teachers in life are not hidden from us (Isaiah 30:20-21). Also, the Holy Spirit prepares us as we engage certain channels.

How to prepare for the Y-junctions in life

1. Know the Word

The word of God in you determines what decisions you make per time. It informs the choices you make in life. When you know the will of God concerning a situation, it becomes easy for you to make the right decisions when you are faced with such a situation. Read more...
