Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional – 8th September 2025 (Monday) Message
TOPIC: God Opens Doors
…These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. — Revelation 3:7 (NIV)
TODAY’S MESSAGE
Trusting God to open the right doors and close the wrong ones for us brings much peace into our lives. I’ve tried pushing open a door I wanted to walk through, and the only result was frustration because it didn’t work.
However, I have learned to trust God not only to open the right doors for me, but also to close the wrong ones.
When God opens a door for you, He makes things easy. When He closes a door, it is very difficult to continue trying to do what you have been doing. I have enjoyed many open doors in my life and ministry, but I have also had to learn that when God closes one, I need to walk away from it and trust Him for what is next.
God always has bigger and better plans for us if we will follow His lead. We don’t usually do the same thing all of our lives, because God promotes the faithful. Perhaps you are trying to hang on to something that God is finished with. If you will let it go, you will see that a new door will open and it will lead to something better than what you were trying to hold on to. God is faithful, and you can put all of your trust in Him.
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, I want to trust You to open right doors for me and close wrong ones. Help me recognize what You are doing in my life and follow Your guidance. In Jesus’ name, amen.
