He Still Opens Doors

My very good friend, Rachel, sent me this because (as she says), "Joel says it better than me."

Lately I've been feeling more and more frustrated with my mortgage mess and current life situation. I continue to feel like when things don't go as I'd like them that God doesn't care about me anymore when I know deep down that I truly must rely fully on Him and stop trying to control my life as if it is mine to control. Although I know that everything works out according to His plan, it is hard for me to maintain patience and understanding that it will be alright. This scripture couldn't have come at a better time.

Courtesy of Joel Osteen:

Today's Scripture -
“I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close” (Revelation 3:8, NLT).

God is ready to present you with new opportunities. He wants to open new doors before you. It doesn’t matter what’s happening in the world around you, in the economy, the housing industry, or with job reports; God’s Word still remains true. He rewards the people who seek after Him. He’s not the least bit concerned about how He’s going to supply your needs. There is no recession in heaven. He has His eye on you, and He still opens doors that no one can shut! In an instant, He can bring the right people into your life, the right opportunities, and the right resources to take you to a new level.

But in order to go to a higher level, you have to have a higher way of thinking. You can’t stay focused on what’s happening in the natural nor allow worry and fear to fill your thoughts. Remember, God’s ways are higher than our ways. He is working on your behalf behind the scenes in the supernatural realm. Choose to keep an attitude of faith and expectancy. As you do, you’ll move forward through the open doors of blessing God has prepared for you.

A Prayer for Today

Father in heaven, I bless Your holy name. Thank You for opening doors for me that no one can close. Fill me with Your peace and joy today as I wait on You. In Jesus’ Name Amen.
