I wonder what opportunities today will bring…I’ve already been arguing with Bella about ‘girl’ and ‘boy’ pencils (don’t ask) and trying to wake up Anna so we can get going…must have had a long day yesterday. Soon it’s off to The Sign of the Kingdom to help with food distribution then meet with Sumner pastors for prayer…but back to my original question, I wonder what opportunities I will find today…or what opportunities will find me? Remember though, not all opportunities are equal. In Romans 7:8 Paul says, “But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire.” This is not a commentary of the misconstrued interpretation of the Law, but rather a reminder that evil offers us opportunities also. In fact, it seems satan is working overtime, because they are everywhere! (Good place to jump in with doctrine on free will, but I’ll refrain.) Still, with the Spirit of God living in us and guiding us, the opportunities for good and for God are so much more apparent (and desired). So, what opportunities will be presented to you and I today…I think the more important question is, what are we going to do with them?

Just think of all the things we choose to do each day and then evaluate how many of those 'things' actually brought glory to God.....food for thought.
Amen...chew on that!
