Don’t Squander Your Golden Opportunity. Part [8] 11/15/2024 (Morning thought)

Judges 13: 3 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold, now, you are barren and bear not: but you shall conceive, and bear a son.

Judges 13:6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name. 12 And Manoah said, Now, let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him? 13 And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.

Proverbs 2: 10 When wisdom enters into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee. 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaks froward things. He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keeps the paths of judgment, and preserves the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

[4] When opportunity comes there is usually a given time-frame in which you must make your move, or else, the window of opportunity could close. [5] Very often, you do not know in advance if this is your last opportunity. The main problem with the Hebrews as far as their opportunity goes is that early up in their experience they endeavored to plan for themselves. The case in point is when God was ready to work in their behalf, to bring then into the land of Canaan, they panicked when they saw, and heard of the giants.

Isaiah 58:11 And the Lord will guide thee continually and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
