This is part of one my devotions this morning and I wanted to share it with you all. It was titled “Shut The Door” by Cindy Lucas.
I wonder how many opportunities we miss to experience God’s faithfulness because we settle for what makes sense to us. We must shut the door to our way of thinking so that we can hear and obey God’s instructions. Faith in God’s ways means that we don’t understand or have all the answers. Faith knows that with God ALL things are possible. Faith believes NOW what it hopes to see in the future. Faith trusts God’s ways above our own. Faith shuts the door to fear and opens the door for God’s grace to pour forth in our lives.
So whatever problems you may have in your life, let me encourage you to go boldly to the Throne of Grace and ask God for His help. Only He has the solution for your situation and only He can give you the power to do what needs to be done. Shut the door to doubt, fear, worry and unbelief. Listen for God’s still, small voice and then do what He tells you to do. Enter into His presence and shut the door to the world around you. Allow the fullness of God’s love to fill you so that in all things and in all ways you will have an overflow of God’s provision in your life.
Prayer: Dear LORD, Thank you for Your ever present help in my life. Forgive me for all the times I have not sought Your answers for my problems. I confess that apart from You I can do nothing. Help me to Shut the Door to all the negative voices that drown out your voice and give me ears to hear You. Thank You for showing me the right path to take and for walking with me every step of the way. Your ways lead to light and life and I choose follow Your ways. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
