Do not think for a moment that opportunities do not have opposition nor that favorable developments in your life will not also come with problems.  It is the nature of life.  It is fiber for character building.  Timidity has caused many great things not to get accomplished.  Nothing good gets accomplished without overcoming the things standing in the way.  Even great moves of God’s Spirit encounter opposition in every age.  Be aware and be prepared.

“A huge and important door has opened for me here, and there is plenty of opposition.”  I Corinthians 16:9 (KNT).
