Open Doors

Throughout our lives, undoubtedly, each of us will have opportunities come our way that seem divine. The truth of the matter is, if you're walking with Jesus, those opportunities are divine.

When I use the term door, what I mean is not necessarily actual door you open and walk through. The door I mean is metaphorical. It could be a job opportunity, a business idea, an invention, a scholarship, a relationship, favor with someone, etc.

I can't begin to tell you how many times in my life when I was faced with needing some kind of door to open for me. Perhaps it was a need for more provision because of my growing family. I may have been a time when a family member was sick and I needed a door to open that would provide the right treatment. Perhaps it was when we were building our first home many years ago and we needed the financing to go through. These were all examples of doors I felt needed to be open.

So what did we do? We prayed. We asked God to intervene on our behalf. Many times, we saw doors open and we really believe on many occasions, we witnessed a miracle. There just seemed to be things or circumstances that happened that could not have been orchestrated more perfectly if someone had tried.

But, to be fair, there were also many times that the door I thought was supposed to be open, didn't! That actually became a HUGE life lesson for me about needs and wants. It also gave an insight into God's best for my life.
