What a great series as Pastor Kurt has challenged us to be lion chasers! Last Sunday, he talked about seizing opportunities. Spiritual maturity is when we can see and seize an opportunity before the window closes.
What opportunities has God placed before you that you have watched pass you by? What often times looks like problems, inconvenience, or irritations are actually opportunities in disguise. Living your life in prayer mode causes us to be able to see those problems as the opportunities that they are. You are struggling in a job that makes you unhappy, but God has an opportunity for you to move into a new line of work or to grow and learn as you work through the stress. You have a difficult person in your life causes you grief, but truly God wants to love this person through you. Your bank account is low and bills are due, but God wants you to seize the opportunity to actually give what you do have to someone in need so He can bless you and provide miraculously. You got the very teacher you were praying you would not get and she just doesn't like you, but God wants you to take that opportunity to love the unlovely and shine His light into her life. Problems are opportunities. Seize them!
Start with your prayer life, don't stay in survival mode, but THRIVE! Be ever tuned into the Holy Spirit and find those opportunities! You must lift your expectations higher! God wants to do unimaginable in and through your life! Seize the opportunity today!!
