Discovering the Hidden Goodness: Seize Your Opportunities

Have you ever experienced a moment where a life-changing opportunity was right in front of you, but you let it pass by? Or perhaps you saw it, but just didn’t have the courage to act on it? Mark Twain’s words remind us that "most of us look the other way and lose it." Let’s delve into how we can embrace these opportunities and recognize the hidden goodness God places before us every day.

Recognizing Divine Opportunities

Opportunities often don’t come wrapped in shiny packages; they might look like ordinary moments or small nudges. In the Bible, God often worked through the ordinary—like when Jesus called ordinary fishermen to be His disciples (Matthew 4:18-22).

Are you attentive to the gentle whispers of possibility that come your way? How can you train yourself to see the extraordinary in the ordinary?

Overcoming Fear and Doubt

Fear and doubt can paralyze us, causing us to look the other way. Moses felt inadequate when God called him to lead (Exodus 3:11), yet God provided everything he needed.

What fears or doubts are holding you back today? Meditate on 2 Timothy 1:7, which reminds us, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

Seizing the Moment

God’s timing is perfect, and often we are given windows of opportunity that may not come again. Esther faced such a moment when she had the chance to save her people (Esther 4:14). She seized the moment despite her fear.

Reflect on your life. Is there an opportunity that you feel God is calling you toward? Ask for courage and wisdom to step into it.
