1. Every interaction is an opportunity to add value.
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is
helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit
those who listen.—Ephesians 4:29 NIV
2. Every resource is an opportunity to multiply.
“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been
faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. …’”—Matthew 25:21 NIV
pistos: persons who show themselves faithful in the transaction of
business, the execution of commands, or the discharge of official
duties
“‘So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here
is what belongs to you.’ 26His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant!—…’” Matthew 25:25-26 NIV
3. Every prompting is an opportunity to obey God.
“And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing
what will happen to me there.”—Acts 20:22 NIV
Obedience is our responsibility. The outcome is God’s.
