Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 29 Sept 2008

Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 29 Sept 2008

Don’t miss the opportunities

Today’s word of encouragement is inline with yesterday’s word on enjoying the little things. Don’t miss the opportunities. Everyday is filled with many opportunities that God gives us.

We have an opportunity to make a difference in the life of another person. We have an opportunity to help serve in a ministry at church. We have an opportunity to reach out and talk to someone new at church that is having problems building close friendships. We have an opportunity to give up our seat on the bus for an elderly person. We have an opportunity to speak blessings over people instead of cursing. Everyday is filled with opportunities that God gives us, we can choose to listen, or we can choose to ignore.

Today’s word of encouragement is beyond missing opportunities, but recognizing that we have the ability to bless others. Life is filled with many irritating things. We can choose to only pay attention to things that irritate us, and things that never go our way. Or we can choose to pay attention to opportunities.

Ephesians 5:15-17 Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
