Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.                                              Eph 5:16 NIV

Every new day brings new opportunities with it. Even if we have missed opportunities in the past, God gives us all a new start every day and with that new start comes new opportunities.

 Paul writes to the Ephesian church urging them to live carefully and intentionally, making the most of every opportunity.

His words highlight that the wise see opportunity all around them, but the unwise and the foolish fail to see opportunity even when it’s right in front of them.

 The wise make the most of every opportunity, but the unwise and the foolish waste opportunity.

 New opportunities are all around us.

 Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "No great man ever complains of want of opportunity."

 New opportunities can be found even in the most difficult of circumstances.

 Winston Churchill said, ​"The pessimist looks for the problem in every opportunity but the optimist looks for the opportunity in every problem."

Not even failure should rob us of opportunity.

Henry Ford said, “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently”

New opportunities are all around us. If we ask God to give us eyes to see, He will. If we do our part and make the most of every God given opportunity, God will do His part. Let’s make the most of every opportunity and watch what will God will do!
