"You can be sure that God will open the right door at the right time."
Here are 5 different quotes about opportunity, take them for they are.
"Four things come not back: The spoken word, The sped arrow, The past life, The neglected opportunity." Arabian Proverb
"If God shuts one door, He opens another." Irish
"Teachers open the doors, but you must enter by yourself. Chinese Proverb
"Even when opportunity knocks, a man still has to get up off his seat and open the door." Anonymous
"For every problem there is an opportunity." Anonymous
The way I see it, there are opportunities all around us, things that we can do or can't do, choices we make or don't make. The chance encounter with a person in need, what do you do (1) help, (2) keep on driving, (3) pray as you go by, (4) turn and go the other way. The opportunity is before you, did you recognize the potential, did you recognize your chance of being a blessing in the life of someone else?
I think that the first observation by Dr. Jeremiah is profoundly correct, "Opportunities are often disguised as problems." This is simply a great way of looking at opportunities, many times they are cased in the disguise of problems, they look like a huge boulder in the middle of the road that stops any advancement. While it might be a problem on the outside, underneath the surface there is a huge opportunity.
I am not sure what boulder is in your road, but will you be willing to not look at as a problem but as an opportunity for something else, a chance to be a blessing?
Our life sign for the day - "I courageously walk through the open doors God puts before me."
