Doors

So today I discovered something that probably has happened a million times I just never really paid attention to it.  I’ve gotten so used to doors automatically opening for me that when I left CVS I stood at the door thinking it was going to open FOR me. Of course I stood there looking like an idiot until I realized, “DUH I have to PUSH the door open to go through it.” I fixed my mouth to say “I hate it when doors don’t automatically open…” but before I could say a word I just laughed. When I’m really in tune with God every little thing becomes a ministry opportunity. Today this was it.

As I was driving back to the office it hit me… ALL doors require action. All of them. There’s not a door that you can get through without moving. Some doors require a knock to go through. Some doors require a door knob turn to go through. Some only require that desire to go through it is sensed but either way to get to and through a door you must MOVE. I think we, as believers, sometimes forget this small requirement. We are so conditioned to ‘praises going up’ and ‘blessings coming down’ that we forget that faith without works is dead. You can’t expect God to open a door for you and you not have the desire to walk through it. To me that’s an irrational line of thinking.

Don’t believe me? Read the book of ACTS ß in the Bible. The entire book is based on action and/or reaction. It’ll bless you.

Good Day Folks,
