TODAY’S WORD
One of the hardest things for us is to let things go. We fight closed doors, get discouraged over who walked away, bitter over the dream that didn’t work out. You have to realize that God stopped it, not to make your life miserable, but to take you into something bigger, better, more fulfilling. The trouble, the disappointment, the loss, or the rejection may not make sense right now, but later on you’ll see what God was up to. If He hadn’t closed that door, you wouldn’t have stepped into the new level. If He hadn’t caused that person to move on, you wouldn’t have met that divine connection. If that opportunity didn’t dry up, you wouldn’t have discovered the potential in you.
Trust Him when you don’t understand. It’s not random. It’s a necessary ending. God is your doorkeeper. He opens and closes doors to push us in our purpose and to learn lessons we wouldn’t learn any other way. Stay in faith. God’s ways are not our ways. Your troubles will turn out for the best.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You are the doorkeeper of my life. Thank You that disappointments and troubles cannot keep me from what You have purposed for me. I believe that You are opening and closing the right doors, and I’m looking for Your best. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
About Joel Osteen
