day no. 14,997: weak will opportunity

"The ability to take advantage of opportunity is a function of speed, flexibility, boldness, and initiative."

Galatians 6:10
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Some opportunities are a product of careful planning or a natural outcome of having followed previous plans. But some opportunities are provided by unforeseen circumstances. A mistake you hadn't planned on making, a mistake you hadn't planned on your enemy making, a change in weather or terrain under which you and your enemy must both adapt, etc... 

The fact of opportunities is inescapable. The ability to act in the face of them is not. Some are prepared ahead of time or in the moment better equipped to shift in light of opportunities. This ability determines whether or not you can turn the turn of events for your favor. Speed, flexibility, boldness and initiative are needed in order to make full use of the opportunities God provides.

Ephesians 4:27
Don’t give the devil any opportunity to work.

The devil cannot create opportunities. His only means of creating anything is by convincing you to provide them to him. He does not have your PIN. Do not provide him an opportunity you could have kiboshed by keeping him at arm's length.

James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
