Opportunists

Remember the long road on which the Lord your God led you during these forty years in the desert so he could humble you, testing you to find out what was in your heart... ~ Deuteronomy 8:2a CEB)

So be careful to live your life wisely, not foolishly. Take advantage of every opportunity because... ~ Ephesians 5:15-16a (CEB)

KEY IDEA:

Even the hard times are opportunities to grow so the wise thing is to let the Lord lead you through them.

PRAYER:

Thank you, God, for faithfully leading me through the wild places of this life's journey. Forgive me for wasted time and unwise decisions. As I go forth into this day that you have made, keep my eyes trained on you. I may not know where I'm going, but you do. Grant me the carefulness that trusts you. Amen.
