Quite a long time ago, a sister said to me that sister L was able to use a certain visa to go to Germany because she seized this opportunity. That type of visa only opened for a short period of time and she caught up this opportunity.
I do keep this in mind but it only started making more sense recently.
Recently, one of my advisors is going to France. I thought he just randomly found an opportunity through his network, and that was it. However, when I chatted with him, he mentioned that because there are many mergings going on among business schools in France at the moment, he thought it was a good opportunity and decided to go. "A window of opportunity" was mentioned several times by my advisor.
This makes me realise that I shall ask the Lord to open up a window of opportunity, and even make this window visible to me so I can prepare for it. The Lord has been using "a window of opportunity" in human history for migration. This reminds me of many stories I heard from the saints concerning moving to a certain city/country. They might simply say "I happened to find an opportunity/chance to go there, and that's why I am here now". Of course, the Lord also opens the door in a general way, but this does not mean that we cannot pray for a window of opportunity.
In human history, the Lord uses wars, political situations, and many things to create a window of opportunity. In recent years, in my conversations with international students and professionals, the matter of Brexit really makes us consider to go to other countries. The Lord is preparing this for us to be unrooted, and I need to ask the Lord to also open up a window of opportunity so that we don't just consider to migrate, but can actually migrate.
Lord, prepare, because "concerning the work of My hands, command Me" (Isaiah 45:11b).
We command You!
