In Touch Ministries — Confronting Closed Doors 2
Billy wanted a pellet gun for his birthday. Because his parents thought he was still too young, they gave him a different present. They wanted the best for their son and that meant having to say no, out of love, to something he really wanted.
What door of opportunity has been closed that you have longed for, planned for, or dreamed of? How do you respond to such disappointment?
When you put your complete trust and faith in God, you can rest knowing that He allows closed doors because He knows ultimately what is best for you.
God may close a door in order to redirect you for a blessing or responsibility He has prepared for you. A door may be closed because you are not ready or equipped for what He is calling you to do.
Remember His timing is perfect. He knows what you can handle. Because God is omniscient, He sees the big picture. He knows the plans He has for your life. And as your loving heavenly Father, He will guide and protect you.
Open doors do not guarantee we will have comfort, ease, and pleasure. Sometimes we may experience discomfort and difficulty in order to strengthen our faith. However, God is always working to build perseverance, strength, and character in our lives.
God gives good things for His children, and you are His beloved child!
