You don't have a chance against him," Saul replied. "You're only a boy, and he's been a soldier all his life."
But David told him: Your Majesty, I take care of my father's sheep.(jobopportunity) And when one of them is dragged off by a lion or a bear,(bad opportunity)I go after it and beat the wild animal until it lets the sheep go. If the wild animal turns and attacks me, I grab it by the throat and kill it. 1 Samuel 17:33-35
Sir, I have killed lions and bears, and I can kill this worthless Philistine(BIG opportunity). …The LORD has rescued me from the claws of lions and bears, and he will keep me safe from the hands of this Philistine. 1 Samuel 17:36-37

IT’S BIBLICAL…GOD GUIDES US THROUGH OPPORTUNITIES!
The Ishmaelites took Joseph to Egypt and sold him to Potiphar,…So Joseph lived in the home of Potiphar, his Egyptian owner. (weird opportunity-slave-sold)
Soon Potiphar realized that the LORD was helping Joseph to be successful in whatever he did. Potiphar liked Joseph and made him his personal assistant, putting him in charge of his house and all of his property.
Because of Joseph, the LORD began to bless Potiphar's family and fields. Potiphar left everything up to Joseph, and with Joseph there, the only decision he had to make was what he wanted to eat. Gen. 39:1-6
- REAL HORRIBLE BOSS…POTIPHAR’S WIFE…TO PRISON!
While Joseph was in prison, the LORD helped him and was good to him. He even made the jailer like Joseph so much that he put him in charge of the other prisoners and of everything that was done in the jail.The jailer did not worry about anything, because the LORD was with Joseph and made him successful in all that he did. Gen. 39: 21-23
