Opportunity Knocks in Mysterious Ways
Is our life filled with problems or with opportunities? Every problem is, in reality, an opportunity
turned on its head. We see the problem as a problem only until we get a glimpse of the hid
den opportunity. For example, losing our job may provide the opportunity of finding a job
that is more suited to our talents. And a problem, which initially appears to have no
solution, can still be an opportunity if we take it as a challenge to further develop some
aspect of our character. Or, a favorite material possession may be broken or unusable
beyond the point of repair. This may be an opportunity to work on being less attached
to our material possessions. Can we throw the object away with equanimity? In a simi
lar way, we often cannot change or “fix” the people in our lives, and this may present
the opportunity to work on patience and tolerance of others. So, when we are faced
with adversity, we should look first for opportunity, and if that doesn’t readily present itself,
then we should look for what we can learn and how we can grow from this experience.
i Adversity is often a gift in disguise, and even when the gift isn’t obvious, it is sometimes
heaven’s way of polishing our rough exterior.
Count it all joy, my brethren when you meet various trials, (or you know that the testing of your
faith produces steadfastness. R.S.V. James 1:2-3
