Isaiah 43.19
Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Opportunities
There's a saying, 'Don't be overly heavenly minded that you are earthly useless'. We can understand that there are eternal realities, but our time on earth is limited.
Another saying, 'the minutes go slowly but the years go quickly.' This is why Apostle Paul writes about the necessity of 'making the most of every opportunity.' Ephesians 5.16.
The definition of opportunity is, a situation or condition favourable to accomplish a goal. there is a window when the time is right. There is a favourable moment. Every day brings with it a unique season of opportunity! What we need is both the perspective and the wisdom to make the best of those opportunities that God sends our way. Honestly, many of life's opportunities come disguised as problems. That is why fasting is so helpful.
Why we Fast
Through fasting our vision is sharpened, our point of view is changed, and our faith is strengthened! During this fast you are literally standing on the edge of opportunities that are bursting with God-sized potential, but will require faith-filled action.
Thought to ponder
Every opportunity has a shelf life. Will you take action before it expires?
To Pray
Jesus, thank you for every God given opportunity. Thank you for trusting me with options. Help me to take the Opportunity at hand, and help me to equip so that I can take the opportunity and run with what you have trusted me. In Jesus name, Amen
