Open Door

Walk through His open doors, 

step completely through them 

with the confident strides of faith.

Stay put in His place and

don’t pine for something different,

thrive there and abide there.

It is His perfect place for you.

 

God has provided an opened door into His appointed place for us.  That also means there is a door that God has closed to us that cannot be opened by us or anyone else.  There is no need for us to strive or push hard to try and open the door into God’s given place. He will open the right door for us at the right time, we are not strong enough to open any door that God wants shut to us, and we are not wise enough to know which door He wants to open.  His open door will bring us into a place of grace, a place of faith, and a place of dependency upon Him in all things. It is the best place, the good place, the safe place, the blessed place, the anointed place.

 

Once God has opened the door for us, we don't need to ever be anxious about trying to keep it open. He doesn’t want us to be in His appointed place and live with the worry that someone might steal it from us, destroy it, or ruin it. The enemy may try to scare us out of our place or discourage us with the thought that either our place is too small for us, we deserve something greater or that our place is too great for us and something we can’t handle.  People may try to intimidate, harass, mock, tempt us, or try to talk us out of our place, but we don't need to listen to the voices that want to keep us from abiding and thriving in God’s appointed place.  No matter what you do, don’t ignore your open door of opportunity. Don’t let procrastination or indifference steal your time, instead, seek God’s strength as you step forward It's such a comfort to know that our loving Heavenly Father keeps them open for us and will eventually welcome us all to our Heavenly Home.
