Opening Doors

I can remember years ago when I was job hunting and everyone wanted to give me advice on how to approach my search. A lot of people said it’s all about who you know that can make the difference. I can hear their advice just like it was yesterday, “Knowing this person can open many doors for you” or “You need to attend this gathering because these people will be there”.  The whole mixing and mingling process overwhelmed me. Let’s just say I learned then that I do not play “the game” well. It was at that point that I decided to put my job search in God’s hands. I trusted that He knew what was best for me. It was my prayer that He would open the doors that needed to be open and close those that needed to be shut.

I know that many people find themselves in the midst of the same rat race that I did. Trying to make sure you get into the “right” circles and meet the “right” people so that you can have the best doors opened for you, the best opportunities. Don’t get me wrong, I know that meeting people and making connections has its’ place. But I also know that you can become so consumed with people that you begin to put them in a position that only God should have in your life. Perhaps there are people in this world that knowing them can make things happen for you, but I will take my chances with God. He is the greatest door opener. His favor is like no other. So fret not, God is taking care of matters that concern you. If He puts His stamp of approval on you then NO MAN can deny you what God says is yours. I hear the door opening for you. Get ready to receive your blessing!

~ I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. Revelation 3:8
