Everyone get opportunities. Not everyone takes advantage of their opportunities. Opportunities have cycles and seasons. Most also have deadlines. The scriptures say that the ones who take advantage of opportunities are wise. But those who “sleep” during the harvest season and ignore opportunities act shamefully. The keys here are to be aware and ready when God provides us with the precious opportunities, and the mindset, fortitude and discipline to partner with God when He provides these opportunities. If you have missed past opportunities, don’t allow guilt and regret to overwhelm and paralyze you in any future opportunities. Instead, just ask God for forgiveness, and be ready as God will give you another opportunity. He will lovingly forgive you and reset the opportunity clock on your behalf!
Proverbs 10:5 “He who gathers during summer and takes advantage of his opportunities is a son who acts wisely, But he who sleeps during harvest and ignores the moment of opportunity is a son who acts shamefully.”
