Opportunity

How do I know if an opportunity is from God?

God’s Response

Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah; so he asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” Acts 8:30

Keep on praying. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

The LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving!” Exodus 14:15

Any opportunity that contradicts God’s Word or violates its principles is not from the Lord. You have to read the Bible if you want to know what it says. The Bible may not directly address a particular opportunity, but it gives clear guidelines about what you should and should not do. The more you know the Bible, the more you know the mind of God, and therefore the better you can discern whether the next opportunity is something he wants you to act on. Once you know it is from God, get moving!

God’s Promise

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