Pass

Not every opportunity is for you.

There are some people who think anytime there is an opportunity to do something is for them to jump on and don’t think twice about it.  Yet, I have learned that that’s not the case. Some opportunities are meant for someone else to benefit from.

It can be hard to weed out those opportunities for you and those that are not. One factor that you cannot ignore, just like before you got saved, is that your body and your heart will give you a quick heads up. Intense anxiety or fear, nausea and sleepless nights are key indicators that this may not be for you whether it’s before your start or during the process.

Anxiety and fear are not of God. Yes, you are to fear the Lord, but not scared of God but to respect Him to the point that you don’t want to go against Him because you love Him. No other fear is acceptable! Don’t believe anyone that says there is healthy fear outside the Lord.

Philippians 4:6

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁶ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

God’s blessings and opportunities are not coupled with fear and anxiety. Especially to the point where you can’t sleep and feel sick. If you’re still unsure about it, pray!

Prayer eases the anxiety for those situations that aren’t for you and eliminates anxiety for those that are for you, but the enemy is trying to make you anxious. If prayer doesn’t remove the fear or anxiety trust that the opportunity is not for you.
