Opportunities To Know

OPPORTUNITIES TO KNOW

When we go through difficult situations, we learn something. We may learn what to not do again. We may learn how to do it differently. We may learn how to do it better. When we experience things in life, both good and bad, we learn as well. We can grow in knowledge every day from our experiences in life. We can also grow in the suffering when we ask God to reveal to us what we need to know about each situation. We have opportunities around us every day to know, to learn and to share God’s word.

SCRIPTURE:
Proverbs 24:16a “The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.” (NLT)

ACTION STEPS:
1. List what wrong you have done in life.
2. Write down what you have learned from it.
3. Pray asking God to show you His word about doing right.
4. Look for ways to share what you have learned with others.

PRAYER:
Dear Lord, we know we all make mistakes. We know we all sin. However, we also know we have a choice to continue in that sin or to turn from it and follow You. Help us to recognize what mistakes we are making life. Help us to learn from those mistakes and choose to do what is right. We know only You can make us right again. We know only You can forgive us and cleanse us from sin. Help us to grow in Your word so we can know what is right and turn from any wrong in our lives. Help us to learn from our mistakes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

REMEMBER:
God wants us to learn from His word and from the situations we have to deal with in life.

When we go to God in all things, good and bad, we will know what it is He wants us to do.

When we mess up, God wants us to see what we learned from the situation and strive to do better.

When we fall and recognize we have done wrong, we should go to God for help to get back up and keep living for Him.

We all have sinned and messed up in life. What we learn from it is an opportunity for us to grow and become more like Christ.

FOCUS:
Romans 3:23 “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” (NLT)

Everyone has sinned. When we recognize we have messed up, we need to seek God for forgiveness and seek His knowledge to do what is right.
