Opportunities for God

Encouragement for your daily walk with God

I heard about an organization that offered a bounty for every wolf captured alive. Two guys decided to head into the hills of Montana to make some “easy money.” They scoured a large area for a couple of days but had no success. Finally they set up camp and, under a star-lit night, fell asleep.

Startled by a noise, one of the hunters woke up to find that they were surrounded by a pack of wolves. The animals bared their teeth and growled at what looked like an easy supper. One camper called his friend, “Hey, wake up! We're gonna be rich!"

Perhaps you have found yourself surrounded by circumstances postured for your destruction like a pack of wolves. When that happened you probably thought of them as trials and tribulations. Next time, try looking at them as opportunities for God to do something spectacular—something to testify of His goodness. Sure, Satan’s wiles seem overwhelming, but we have a great and almighty God who can use the enemy’s schemes for the building of His glorious kingdom.

For the LORD your God is He that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. Deuteronomy 20:4
