“Opportunity”

Life is full of opportunities, some good, some not so good. I would love to take this opportunity to tell you about my Lord and Savior. Each day that I wake gives me yet another opportunity to be thankful for what the Lord has given to me, first and foremost life. The air that we breathe comes from our Heavenly Father. How many of us miss so many good opportunities in life for fear of failure.


When opportunity knocks, open the door? Is the opportunity at the front door or the back? Whichever it is at there is nothing to lose by considering all your options. Lighten up and check the back door. You may be surprised at what you find. The path to your dreams may be at the back door, but also the path may lead to misguided opportunities. Ask God to show you the doors he has opened.

Psalm 91:2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust

No matter what the circumstances are in your life, when you are dwelling in this secret place, you, too, can be happy and joyous, assured in your heart and mind. When you are facing hard trials and are dwelling in this secret place, your faith is standing on the promises of God.

This does not mean you will not shed tears because of what you are going through. We read in the Bible where tears were shed by many of those who had to go through sufferings for long periods.
Job was smitten with boils for a long period. We do not know exactly how long, but we read where he endured months of suffering. Months can go into years. We do not know how long his trial was, but we do know it was a trial of long duration.
No matter what the circumstance in your life, turn to God, seek Him, His ever-present help is right there, however you have to Trust and Believe. We cannot avoid having troubles in this life. Everybody wants to have a smooth bed of roses without the thorns, but life is not like that.
Psalm 46:1 

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.


This is my opportunity to tell you about how good God is and how He is there with you, even during the trials and tribulation. Yes things go wrong and you don’t always get answers when you want them, but one thing is for sure, if you trust God He will get you through it, and you will be able to use this trial to help someone else later in life and be stronger in your own life. God answers all, IN HIS TIME. There are reasons for all seasons in life. Now this is your opportunity to reach out and ask God to come into your life, to be ever present for you. Take this opportunity to open the door to God. Life is only a failure if you allow it to be.


Proverbs 14:26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and His children shall have a place of refuge. Psalm 91:3 Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. Satan is the fowler. He is the one who will try to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). He is out to steal your peace, steal your joy and happiness, if you let him. Remember that the Scripture tells us to be sober and vigilant because our adversary, the devil, goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (I Peter 5:8).


I Corinthians 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But God is faithful!!! Oh, yes. God keeps His Word. His promises are true. II Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished


The one who dwells in that secret place will be delivered out of temptation.


God bless you my friends! Take every opportunity to serve the Lord, spread His good news.
