Seize the Opportunity
Commentators emphasize that the "opportunity" to do good is not a matter of convenience but a specific, fleeting moment provided by God. Like a farmer who must sow at the proper time, Christians are called to actively use every chance to do good, as this present life is our "seedtime" for eternity. This is a call to proactive, not passive, benevolence.
