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!

The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
