We are children of God, so He gives us beautiful opportunities in our lives. There are many stories and teachings in the Bible that remind us that God brings us various opportunities. We need to remember that these opportunities are not just for our own benefit but that God wants to fulfill His purpose through those opportunities.
Opportunities do not come as we expect them. If we look at the story of Joseph, we can understand how God brought opportunities into Joseph’s life and through them God fulfilled His plan. It was through Joseph that God brought the nation of Israel to Egypt and saved them from the effects of a terrible famine.
When we stay in God’s way and follow God’s plan, if we accept the opportunities that God brings into our lives, our lives will be filled with blessings. And this blessing will not only be for us but also for those who are associated with us.
Dear friends, now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about opportunities.
