'Life's opportunities

"Make the most of every opportunity." Colossians 4:5

Our days come to us filled with opportunities for . . .

gathering knowledge,

growing wise,

growing in character,

becoming stronger, truer, purer, nobler, more Christ-like,

doing heroic things for Christ,

performing caring ministries, and

rendering sweet services in Christ's name, to those who need loving sympathy and deeds of kindness.

Opportunities come to every Christian.

They continually come on all the ordinary days — and oftentimes in the simplest common things.

Yet the trouble with too many of us, is that we do not improve upon them, and do not seize them as they arrive.

"I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work." John 9:4
