Walking past this partially open gate one day made me think about this passage from Rev. 3:8, “Behold I have put before you an open door which no one can shut…”  For various reasons I feel like I am about to pass through some open doors.  Doors I cannot see, but still doors that have been opened up just for me.  As I try to figure out what God is up to, I also find myself knocking on some doors, trying to make opportunities happen…testing the waters so to speak.  What I find is that sometimes closed doors are as much of an answer as to what to do next as open doors of opportunity.

Too often we miss this point and waste a lot of energy trying to kick in a door that was never intended for us to pass through.  Sometimes it seems like people are busy working to slam doors in our face and we get angry.  Wasted energy.  I have decided to wait patiently on God and pass through only the doors He intends for me to go through.  In the meantime, I will continue to do the work that has already been put in my hand to do, pray and be thankful for all the opportunities that I have already had.  What about you?
