Opportunity

"It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony.  So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves, for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute." Luke 21:13-15 (NASB)

There are times when we feel we have been wronged.  It could be the words of family or friends.  It could be the actions of a coworker or even an inconsiderate stranger.  Often, our first response is to prepare our defense and go pursue righting the wrong that perceived.  When we take a step back from our initial, emotional reaction, the situation may provide an opportunity.

We will experience times of wrong, whether done to us or by us.  We may even experience persecution.  In all of these situations, God is with us.  Instead of immediately defending our actions or pointing out the wrong in others' actions, we should look for the opportunity to provide our testimony.  We don't have to have a long speech prepared, we just need to rely on God. God will provide the wisdom and the words that will fit the situation and allow for the best outcome!

Look for the opportunity to provide your testimony and allow God to provide the right words!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being active in my life.  Please give me the wisdom and the words to share You with others.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
