EVERY DAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY














EVERY DAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY


Every day is
AN OPPORTUNITY
To follow God


But the day INVOLVES CHOICES=
Choices to follow God=
Or choices to follow
The ways of the WORLD=
Or Satan


“How long
Will you straddle the issue?


If the Lord is God
FOLLOW HIM=
If Baal=follow him” 1 Kings 18:21


Will we follow God=
Or will we follow
The WAYS
Of the world


Rarely-is it=
As clear cut
As choosing Baal=the devil


It is sometimes more
Like following MONEY=
Or following material goods


Choose life=Choose God=
FOLLOW JESUS!


“Therefore as we have OPPORTUNITY-
Let us do good
To all people


Especially to those
Who belong to
The FAMILY of believers” Galatians 6:10


“Be very careful then
How you live--------


Not as unwise-
But as wise
Making the most
OF EVRY OPPORTUNITY


Because the days are evil” Galatians 5:16


“Be wise
In the way
You act toward outsiders


Make the most
OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY” Colossians 4:5


Saint Francis of Assisi
Is the man
MOST BELIEVED=
Who came the CLOSEST
To acting like CHRIST


He steeped away
From honor and prestige=
And he allowed himself
To look INCREDIBLY FOOLISH


But he CHOSE to
Follow God
He chose to follow Jesus


We all must CHOOSE TODAY=
And we must choose
Again=and again=and again


CHOOSING to follow Jesus
Every day is a
NEW OPPORTUNITY=
Every day=is another CHOICE


Choose to follow Christ
It is a GREAT OPPORTUNITY


“Now CHOOSE LIFE-
So that you-
And your children


May live
And that you may LOVE
The Lord your God=
Listen to his voice
And hold fast to him” Deuteronomy 30:19-20


The CHOICES in this life
Are very DIFFICULT=
But every day
Is another opportunity
To CHOOSE to FOLLOW JESUS


In Jesus' name
