There's a temptation to define open doors as places where people all share our beliefs. We define an opportunity as a school that doesn't teach evolution or a neighbor that isn't a pagan. "God gave us such a wonderful 'opportunity' to live on this block."
A great work opportunity is to be employed at a place where your boss is a Christian and all your co-workers go to church. Those are opportunities.
There's a great tendency to equate opportunity with comfort.
But it's precisely because the days are evil that we must seize the moments, redeem the time, buy up the opportunities.
Because love compels us, friends. It drives us. We can't sit idly by and let the opportunities pass.
And be blessed.
