My word for June 7th is DOORS
Anna left for cheer camp this morning. My last time to send one of the
girls off to this fun filled week of loudness. I have been sending one of them to cheer camp, with all
their supplies, for ten years now.
Another chapter of our lives is beginning and closing at the same
time. Anna, being the youngest and
beginning her senior year, will have a school year ahead that is filled with
many memories, some happy and some sad. Those times that teenagers want to hurry up and
finish, but then later in life they wish they were back in the middle of those
high school years. Many doors will
be opening and closing this year, but then some will be swinging into a new
phase of life.
When the Lord closes a door He is always opening one, opening
a world of new beginnings.
As we travel down this road of life, we will come across many doors.
When we come to a closed door we are frustrated and mad, upset because the door
is slammed shut and dead bolted.
The key has been lost and there is no way that it will open. Always think of closed doors as
blessings from God. They are often
an indication that God has something else in mind for us. Closed doors are definitively His will and
our peace comes from accepting them.
There are doors, however that are open, open wide for us to easily walk
through. These are the doors that
help us move gracefully through life.
At times we will question these open doors, but God doesn’t play games
with us. When the door is open we
should pray, weigh the outcomes and then simply choose whether to walk through
or not. God will be happy about
what decision we choose.
Don’t be upset if you come across a closed door, this is
God’s way to prepare you for something better that lies ahead. Don’t try to pry it open, leave it
closed and try another door. There
is always a door that God has opened for you that no one can shut. Just believe with your heart and the
door to a better life will be waiting, opening for you, ready for you to run
through.
For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are
many adversaries.
`What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open''
(Revelation 2:7b NIV).
Dear Lord thank you for closed doors and open ones. We know that You have a purpose for
both. Lead us to opportunities
that wait for us behind our doors of the future and help us to understand when
we come across doors that are sealed tight. Guide us during 2012 through the doors that lead to a
brighter tomorrow.
