How do I know if an opportunity is from God?

God’s Response

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105

Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do. Joshua 1:7

Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success. Proverbs 15:22

This is a good question to ask. Many opportunities will present themselves throughout your life, and you cannot and should not follow them all. The best way to know when to take advantage of an opportunity is to stay close to God by reading his Word, praying, and walking with him every day. The Bible will not always speak directly in favor of a particular opportunity, but no opportunity that contradicts God’s Word or leads you away from its principles is from the Lord. You should also pray and seek the wisdom of trustworthy, mature Christians. God will give you peace in your heart regarding the best opportunities.

This Is Promising

I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. Revelation 3:8
