Obstacles and Opportunities
“…..for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.” — 1 Corinthians 16:9
Opportunities are often disguised by obstacles. With every promise there will be inherent challenges and problems. The apostle Paul knew he was going to have challenges, but he kept forging ahead anyway. Instead of shrinking back or hesitating, we must seek God about what opportunity He has for us in the midst of difficulty. Even if we feel like we only have a “little power” and are just plodding along, we must keep pressing forward. God wants to open a door that no one can shut. That’s why we must not get so caught up in the obstacles that we miss the opportunities. As we live our life in the Word and keep our eyes on Jesus, we will be ready to seize the many amazing moments God has ahead for us.
