This past Sunday I started a series on Chasing Lions, or recognizing opportunities and going after them. My question today is how do you recognize those opportunities? I don't think it is as difficult as we sometimes make it.
The scripture is clear that we are called to be good stewards. That means doing the best you can with what you have. If the opportunity that you have is to be kind to your neighbor, then there is your opportunity. If opportunity for you is taking on a responsibility that you are a little uncomfortable with, then do it with all your mind, all your heart and all your strength.
Wait a minute, that doesn't sound like lions. When David was called upon to defeat Goliath for the future of Israel, he recounted faithfulness in his past with smaller responsibilities.
Hey don't forget that Lions come in all sizes.

Hey Pastor, it's Laura Menendez, I sure miss you. I'm sorry to have left the church but it's working better for us this way... too much of a drive the other and we couldn't really get involved. Anyway, it's great to see you have a blog site... I'm adding it to my favorites list. :-) By the way, I have a blog on the famous Xanga. It is www.xanga.com/mldez I just wanted to let you know that we love you and Ruth! -Laura
Thank you, Pastor, for helping me see the relationship between the emotional and spiritual side of humans. It is clear to me now and helps me with me. Also, the book, IN A PIT WITH A LION ON A SNOWY DAY, is great! I pray I never stop looking for opportunities.
Hey Pastor- Its Dorothy
I was reading Danettes site and somehow found out you have a site. Just thought I would say Hi.
I am recovering from my knee surgery and doing well. In a few more days I will get the stiches out and hopefully be getting back to normal. Appreciate your prayers. Watch out what you say about the Lions (Lyons) Ha.
Good words.
