[pull_quote_center]“I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.” – Proverbs 9:11[/pull_quote_center]
While working, there were those we referred to as “walk-in customers”. They are people who walked in on their own to do business with the organization. Sometimes those walk-in customers are big customers. Being at the right place at the right time makes you fortunate to have such customers.
It’s good to be very skilled, very hardworking and very intelligent, but the truth be told, there are many of such people in the world today who are not successful. There are many talented singers who are unknown, they have not even been able to sell a CD; there are many gifted and knowledgeable leaders who will never be given the opportunity to lead large institutions and states; many qualified graduates who have no jobs, meanwhile there are those who did not go to school who are doing better.
It’s not bad to be good at what you do, but you’ve got to seek divine support, because that is what makes the difference. The Bible says that the Lord directs the steps of the godly (Psalm 37:23). As a believer, always ask God to direct your steps. One information that God causes you to hear can change your life forever; God can cause you to be there just on time! No longer will you miss opportunities, in Jesus name! Amen.
Prophetic Declaration
I declare today that my steps are directed by the Lord. From today, God is leading me and causing me to be at the right places at the right times; no more missed chances and opportunities; I will win and succeed, in Jesus name. Amen.
