God gives us a door ready to open...
Today's Scripture:
I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
Revelation 3:8
Imagine that you have just completed conducting a daylong seminar. You have packed your materials, loaded your laptop & projector, stacked you briefcases, and are scurrying out to catch the cab you've called that has arrived. You prepare to leave the building, holding one briefcase in hand and another under your arm, while pulling a cart with the other hand. As you arrive at the door you stop. How am I going to push this door open without dropping everything? You groan, finding no one to help you. How exhausting to manage your load and struggle to get the door open too. Those are the times you hope for an automatic door - one that will just fly open as you hope for an automatic door - one that will just fly open as you move toward it, allowing you to exit with ease.
Now imagine that in the midst of your struggle God has set before you an automatic door. As you move toward it, the door just flies open with no effort from you. Why would he do that for you? He says that he will do it because he knows that you have little strength, and yet have obeyed his word and not denied his name.
Continue to imagine. What struggle leaves you with only a little strength? It is important to remember that you do not have the power to open some doors of opportunity; but God does.
When you honor God by following his ways, he honors you by sharing his power, which opens doors with an automatic ease in ways you cannot.
Selah people' and friends acknowledge God's name as the source of strength in your life. Wait for the door to open automatically, divinely, using his strength instead of your own to move forward.
"May we remember today that as we stand at the door Christ is ready and able to open up opportunities to a wonderful future, if only we will allow Him to do so."
