Opportunities
The following is another entry by our guest blogger, and my dad, Serge Tenthorey. Enjoy.
In The Message we read in Psalm 139
“.. All the stages of my life were spread out before you. The days of my life all prepared before I’d even lived one day.”
Psalm 118:24 “This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Who can call a day boring, or mundane when God has planned it special for us?
Rather than a day where every moment, every action, every path is controlled, I believe God has planned every day as a day of special opportunities for us.
Opportunities to serve; opportunities to grow and develop; opportunities to develop our strengths; opportunities to test our wings; opportunities to fail - and learn from that failure; opportunities to taste life as Jesus did; opportunities to sorrow - to pass through the fires and come out purged, tempered and strengthened for the days and tasks ahead; opportunities to work with God in furthering His purposes; and opportunities to “Be still and know the I am God”
Lord open our expectations and heart’s eyes to these opportunities. Let us truly live life the fullest today.
