An Open Door Is Coming I know, God, that mere mortals can’t run their own lives, That men and women don’t have what it takes to take charge of life. Jeremiah 10:23 MSG Dont be afraid of a closed door; another one will open. Gods ultimate objective is to mold us into the image of His Son, and toward that end, He at times prevents us from doing or having something we desire. Although many of us dont like a closed door, closed doors prevent mistakes. Just because a path is clear does not mean it is the one God intends for us to follow. Sometimes we wont have the information we need to make a wise decision, so He bars the way either spiritually or physically. The Holy Spirit can see the whole road map for our lives, which is why we are to follow His guidance. Closed doors redirect our walk. Rest assured, God never leaves a willing servant with nothing to do. The alternate opportunity He has in mind will yield bigger fruit, more satisfaction, and greater glory for Him. Closed doors test faith and build perseverance. Waiting for the Lord to speak or act is hard, particularly when our desire has been denied. But well learn wisdom, patience, and trust by pausing prayerfully until He reveals His will. Closed doors buy us time. We are not always as prepared as wed like to think. God may temporarily hold shut an opportunity for service until a believer is properly equipped to do the work. Although we think we have everything it takes to run our own lives; allow God to take charge of your life and you will see that He used a closed door as a tool to open another door. In spite of the repeated use of closed door, the real message is that God opens doors. He has created a perfect pathway for us to follow. Keep your feet on it, and you will walk over thresholds leading to service, satisfaction, and glory for your Lord. Dont panic, trust The Lord; an open door is on the way!
