Go Through the Door!

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

Vision and expectation motivates us to keep going and not give up. Without either of them, we will find ourselves in a state of perpetual mediocrity and won’t want to do anything, and furthermore, we won’t do anything that has a major impact on our world.

I’m reminded of a Peanut’s cartoon. Lucy and Linus were sitting in front of the television set when Lucy said to Linus, “Go get me a glass of water.”

Linus looked surprised, “Why should I do anything for you? You never do anything for me.”

“On your 75th birthday,” Lucy promised, “I’ll bake you a cake.”

Linus got up, went through the open door and headed into the kitchen. As he passed through the doorway, he said, “Life is much more exciting, and working is so much more enjoyable when you have something to look forward to.”

Do you have a steadfast vision from God and a solid expectation in God? Such not only opens the door to receive a touch from God, but also moves you through the door. We have an open door in front of us that no one can close. But make no mistake about it – God can, and will, close that door eventually. No man can close it, but once God closes that door, no human effort can reopen it.

What’s the point? It’s time to go through the door while we still have the opportunity. What are you pursuing? What is God leading you to do? Are you willing to get up and go through the door? Like Linus, when you have vision and expectation, you’re willing to get up and do something.

Pray with Me:

God, I thank you for the vision and expectation you have placed within me. I know what you have instructed and what you want to take place. Give me the faith and initiative to walk through the door you’ve opened in the confident assurance that when you open a door, you’ve already prepared what awaits on the other side. Amen.
