See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.
Rev 3:8
Daily Devotion
"Doorkeeper"
It is amazing we often believe that our own gifts have opened a door for us. We may be intelligent and know the right people. Yet, in these times of self-confidence, doors are closed to us. These are the moments where we stand banging on a door that God has closed. We beg and plead for Him to open it, and think that behind that door is the key to all our hopes and dreams. It is in those moments that God is beckoning, " My beloved, see I have opened another door. Walk through it, into what I have in store for you."
On the other hand, there have been times where failures and mistakes surely disqualify us from receiving anything good. In those moments we may not be the most intelligent or have the right connections. However, God opens a door that we never could have imagined.
God constantly reminds us that He is the giver of every opportunity. He is the one who opens and closes every door. We must not let any falling or sense of failure keep us from walking through an open door. We must not let a closed door so captivate our attention that we miss one that is open. We must trust God in all things and reach for the dreams that He has given us. He knows the best route for us, for He is our door keeper.
Prayer for today:
Ask God to help you see the doors that He has opened and the ones He has shut. Ask Him to give you strength to walk through the doors He has opened for you.
