Seizing Opportunities

If there is a piece of wisdom I have gained from my interesting sojourn on earth, it is to seize the opportunities life presents. It is a primary method of assignment by God. No matter how insignificant they may seem, exploit them because you do not know where they may take you to.
As basic and common this sense may be, it is commonly ignored.
Newton sat under a tree and ‘accidentally’ witnessed the fall of a fruit from the branch. Thus began the study of the universal force that keeps everything on earth in place!
I believe the primary reason these opportunities, ideas and hunches are ignored is because they don’t appear grand or sophisticated but rather garbed in simplicity. Or the fact that the maximising of these opportunities are daunting so we ignore, procrastinate or whichever reaction we deem convenient.
God did not tell David to kill Goliath. David simply saw an opportunity and he seized it. Thus began his journey into fame and greatness!
Joseph saw his prison mates troubled, approached them (he didn’t hear God telling him to) and used his gift to interpret their dreams. One of the prison mates connected him to Pharaoh.
Use your gifts maximally. A man’s gift makes room for him.
