DOORS

Did you ever think about doors? Some are heavy, made of steal and hard to open and some are made of wood that sometimes can be easily opened with a little force. Some doors come with locks like Fort Knox and no matter how hard you try, you just cannot get the lock open. Some doors come with little key hole locks and if you tried hard enough, you could probably open one with force, like a small bobby pin or credit card. And then there are doors like on our closets, they just open up with no effort at all.



As I have been studying lately, it has been about open and closed doors. As quoted by Charles Stanley "God answers prayer in one of three ways, Yes, No, or Yes, but not yet! I find myself so many times waiting on these answers for all of life's situations. I have always been the type of person who wants the answer right now! My patience is full of anxiety, I get frustrated when the door want open, I try to unlock it on my own and just make a mess of things. I sometimes feel alone and think I am the only person who has issues. Do you ever feel this way or is it just me?



I think of Daniel, in Daniel 6 vs. 10, it says that Daniel got down on his knees and prayed 3 times a day, giving thanks to God!! Wow, in our busy lives, that is alot! But it brought forth an answer for Daniel. Daniel's big metal door was starting to open. In Daniel 6 vs. 23 the door did open! "The King was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God." Daniel was bold enough to pray 3 times a day (even when it was against the law of the land). If you can just see yourself as Daniel. There you are in this den of lions, you are scared, not sure what is going to happen today or even tomorrow. You start thinking, am I going to get through this and how is going to happen and when will it happen and what can I do to make it happen. And then you realize the only one thing that you can do at this point is get on your knees and pray to God. He holds the key, mine and you're entire future (today and tomorrow) lie in his hands. Colossians 1 vs.11 "being strenghtened with all power according to his gloriuos might, so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light"



God, today I choose to wait on you and trust you for provision in my life. I trust for all who read this blog, that they will wait on you to open doors for the answers that they need. I pray that they will find sometime in their busy schedules to sit at your feet and may they rest assure that you open and close all doors in our lives according to your perfect will. God, don't let us get ahead of your schedule and teach us to wait patiently on you.
