OPEN DOORS

John 6:20-21 NKJV But He said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

Have you ever been on a journey and someone in the car says, “Are we nearly there yet?”  They’re growing tired of the journey and they want to arrive at where they’re going!😊

Life is a bit like that when we have thoughts and plans of where we want to go but the journey is taking longer than we thought to get there. But this passage reassures our hearts because as long as we have invited Jesus into our boat, as long as we know it’s a journey He’s planned and not just something we’ve decided we want to do, then He will get us there as quickly as is necessary.

God says He will direct our paths, that He will make crooked paths straight, that all things work together for the good of those who love Him. We may not realise it at the time but closed doors we may have had can be just as important and helpful as open doors, and we can thank God for them. 

We all know that God’s timing is never wrong and He has moments of favour all lined up for us to walk into, when everything starts to fall into place, and the grace of God is on it which gives us His confidence to know we’re on the right path.😊

Isaiah 30:21 NLT Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.

The Holy Spirit wants you to know this, at the right time God will open the door that’s right for you and He will take you through it quicker than you thought possible, just like the disciples ‘immediately’ arrived at their destination! Be encouraged God is directing your path and it will be blessed. Amen.😊
