The Chinese Character for Crisis:

The Chinese Character for Crisis

Most of us are frightened by crisis in our lives and fear the outcome of difficult circumstances. We become anxious about the future, and sometimes paralysed by fear. But is there another way of seeing a crisis?

Denis Perkins has written a book called Leading at the Edge. In the book, he reflects on difficult times and the way they can help mould our character. Perkins tells his readers that the Chinese character for the word 'crisis' is very interesting.

Perkins writes that the character for 'crisis' is in fact made up of two separate symbols. The top symbol stands for danger, and the bottom stands for opportunity. Crisis truly is both danger and opportunity. As the Christian leader and author John Haggai once wrote, "Your greatest opportunities are cleverly disguised as insurmountable problems."

What we need are eyes of faith, a heart of courage, and the wisdom of God to see the opportunity in the crisis.
