Sundays Notes | Opening Doors

Be careful of the doors you open! Some things should remain a curiosity. Don't scratch every itch.

Wow.

A lesson, I believe you have to go through to know, that every door presented doesn't have to be opened.

Curiosity will always get the best of us. Most doors we see we tend to ask ourselves, "Is the finally the door that God has for me? Is this my time? Is this the answered prayer?"In our eagerness, we most often hope the next "thing" is the patiently awaited promise.

Seeking the Lord always is going to be the blessing that changes the way you live and move. Proverbs 3:6 gives the most critical instruction - In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight. Matthew 6:33 also comes in through the New Testament to declare - Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

We must receive God's permission for every plan, decision and challenge we face. Going through Him first will always be the right choice. With every door, pray that God is moving you to open it. With every decision, pray that the Lord is guiding you through it. With every challenge, acknowledge God by giving it to Him - who is the avenger and advocate for us.

When we open the wrong doors in our lives, we tend to wonder why we found ourselves in chaos and more trouble than before.

What He allows, is always good for us. What He doesn't, is always good for us.
