James 1:5 reminds us that God gives wisdom to those who ask.

An opportunity should not be accepted merely because it is prestigious, profitable or exciting. Consider its requirements, risks, responsibilities, timing and alignment with your legitimate goals.

God can guide you through Scripture, wise counsel, prayer, careful reasoning, relevant facts and circumstances.

May the Lord give you eyes to recognize the right door and wisdom to avoid doors that should remain closed.

Prophetic Illustration

Imagine standing before several doors.

One door looks beautiful.

Another appears ordinary.

Another is attractive because many people are rushing toward it.

But appearance alone cannot tell you which door is right.

You need discernment.

You need wisdom.

You need direction.

Likewise, when a major opportunity comes before you, do not allow excitement to become your only guide.

May God help you examine the opportunity carefully.

May He give you courage to enter the right door.

May He give you patience to wait when the timing is not right.

May He give you discernment to walk away from an opportunity that could cause unnecessary harm.
