TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“I know your works.
Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I
know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have
not denied my name.”

ESV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
God opens doors of
opportunity before us that no one is able to shut. But we have to realize,
sometimes He also closes doors because He has something better in store. We
may see a logical opportunity, but just because it’s the logical way doesn’t
mean that it’s God’s way. Just because it happened that way before doesn’t
mean it’s going to happen that way next time. That’s why you have to stay
open and keep trusting in God. If you’re narrow-minded and only look at the
door that’s been closed, you may miss the door He has opened behind you!
Friend, when you are able to
let go of your own agenda and trust God, He’ll make sure you see those open
doors. Scripture says His Word is what lights our path. Our attitude should
always be, “God, I surrender all to You. Have Your way in my life. I trust
Your timing. God, I trust You to do it Your way.” Then, step back and see the
open door He has prepared for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
|
|
Father, thank You
for ordering and directing my steps. I choose to trust You even when doors
close before me. I believe that You have my best interest at heart. I am
ready and available. I stand looking for the open door You have for me in
Jesus’ name. Amen.
