God’s Occasion

Scripture 2 Chron 22:7 His going to Joram was God’s occasion for Ahaziah’s downfall; for when he arrived, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

Observation: God watches us and takes opportunities to grow us and to do His will. He took the opportunity when I tried to overdose on the beach to change my life. He put people into my life and guided me to Him. Throughout my life God has taken different opportunities to draw me close to Him and to work out the plan He has for me. We need to be aware that things do happen for a reason and if we search for God in those occasions we will find Him.

Application: Stop complaining about different situations, but look for God and see if He is taking that occasion to change something in my life. Stay close to God in prayer so that I may discern His voice in my life and allow myself to be led by my Lord. Be where God wants me to be, serving Him and others in His name.

Prayer: My Lord take each occasion to grow me to be the man you want me to be. Help me finish well and direct me each day. Whether trial or blessing may I see your face and do what you desire me to do in glory and honor to your name.
