"My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all!"
Opportunities are like wine. They can be taken advantage of now, or they can sit and under the right conditions, and get even better. Problems are not wine. They are milk. They don't get better with time, they get more spoiled, stinky and can turn into something that ruins lots of other things around them. Those that say that a problem deferred is a problem solved forget that their procrastination will only come back to bite them later. Looking at those things in front of us and asking ourselves, will this get better or worse with time and being willing to honestly accept the answer can be a true competitive advantage.
As believers we also have God's wisdom, guidance and will to assist us in sorting out the wine and the milk. God delivers on opportunities in His own time and if we are in tune with His will then we can accept and be ready for when the opportunity is ready to be grasped. Our problems are His problems to help us accept and fix. Giving these over to God for Him to solve can provide us peace and assurance that nothing else can. We will face both opportunities and problems today. Both, if we follow God's lead can be the sweeter of wine and milk.
