OPEN DOORS EVERYWHERE

Overview

Doors of opportunity are all around us. We need to see them!

Observation

Today's scripture is a promise given to the church of Philadelphia. From it, we learn that God is the one who opens doors. An open door speaks of opportunities, a place where we gain access. It may be access to a position of influence in our school, workplace, or community. It may be access to someone's life so we can bless or minister to them. When faced with obstacles, an open door gives access to solutions. An open door is a God-given opportunity for breakthroughs.

God is the one who opens doors in our lives. It does not depend on our human ability or strength or our deserving them. And the doors that He opens, no one can shut.

God has prepared doors of opportunities for us. We have to see them! Have you noticed salespeople working at a roadshow? As they actively canvas, they see every passerby as a potential customer, an "open door." We will do well to have this same attitude because it is easy to miss those opportunities if we do not intentionally look out for them.

Whether it is your school, workplace, or home, actively look for opportunities today. There are open doors to blessings from the Lord and opportunities to bless others.

Response

Ask God to open your eyes to the doors He opens for you so you will not miss any God-given opportunities.

Prayer

Dear God, I acknowledge You are the God of open doors. Please show me the opportunities You want to give me today. Help me to be attentive, so I will not miss the opportunities that You set before me. In Jesus’s name, amen.
