Ob portu
It's a Latin phrase that we get our English word "opportunity" from. In the days before modern harbors, ships had to wait till flood tide to make it into port. Ob portu referred to that single moment in time when the tide would turn.
Ob portu...
Queen Esther had an ob portu moment, as did King David, the Apostle Paul, and countless others that have gone on before us.
Think I'll keep my eyes wide open - don't want to miss my ob portu moment!
