2Co 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard (epakuo listened favorably) thee in a time (kairos proper time, due season, opportunity) accepted, (approved favorable) and in the day of salvation have I succoured (aided relieved) thee: behold, now (immediate present) is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Salvation- sōtēria rescue or safety - deliverance, health

If you are weary of spiritual lethargy laziness leanness today is the day that the lord has made
The writer of Ecclesiastes warns us of the
importance of time twenty eight times in
Chapter 3. Time is he reminds us; a unique commodity.
It may be used only once. You cannot redeem
Time, bottle time, hold onto time. Time flows
like water through our hands.
Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

On New Years Day, 1929, Georgia Tech was playing California. Late in the second quarter, Roy Regals recovered a fumble for California, and in his excitement became confused and began running in the wrong direction.
After racing 65 yards he was finally tackled by his own player at the California 2 yard line. California attempted to punt from deep in their own end zone, but the kick was blocked and Georgia Tech scored a safety.
In the locker room at half time, Roy Regals sat in the corner with his face buried in his hands, crying. The room was silent. The Coach didn’t make his usual half - time speech, but shortly before the team was to take the field for the second half, he said, “The starting team is going back onto the field to begin the second half.”
The whole team left the locker room except for Regals, who remained in the corner with his face in his hands. “I can’t do it Coach,” he said. “I can’t play. I ruined the team.” The Coach said, “Get up Regals. The game is only half over. You belong on the field.”
Guess what? Our game is only half over. Regardless of the past, we still have the rest of the game to play. So What If The Enemy Scored Off Of You in The Past! God is willing to forget about the mistakes of the first half. And He expects us to do the same!!!

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn’t work at zero gravity (Ink won’t flow down to the writing surface). In order to solve this problem, they hired Andersen Consulting. It took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on practically any surface including crystal and a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.
And what did the Russians do? The Russians used a pencil! Opportunities do not always look like opportunities

letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day,
Mordecai (esthers adopted father) rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;

-The five foolish virgins did not see the industriousness and the willingness of the five wise virgins in keeping their lamps in perfect working order. They failed to take the opportunity to learn from their associations.
-There will come a day in life when the door will be shut on every available opportunity
