Many of us have been blessed to recognize when God opens doors to opportunities. For some, this realization has developed over time. At first, you may not have seen that the harvest was ripe, and the fields were golden and ready for you. Perhaps you prayed a simple prayer asking for the ability to see. As a result, you began to plan, sow seeds, and tend to the crops of your assignment. Your eyes were opened, and you recognized what was available to you. You then began to harvest the good provisions from God.

Sometimes you can do everything right—planning and working hard—but then life surprises you. You might see your harvest ready, only to have everything wiped out. This could relate to your children or even your business. I know someone who had a thriving business before the COVID-19 pandemic, but was completely devastated by the pandemic. So, what do you do when everything falls apart? You have a choice to make. Will you sow again? Will you plan again? Will you dream again? 

My friend, there is no better way to live your life than to become the best version of yourself, and to touch as many lives as possible. I want to encourage you to pursue this path. At the same time, I want to emphasize the importance of enjoying your successes by following Jesus Christ. Ultimately, what does it matter if you achieve all your earthly successes but are not at peace with God? I encourage you to invite Jesus Christ into your life or to rededicate yourself to Him as your Lord and Savior. Trust Him as you continue to build and rebuild your life with Him!
