When the Door is Open, Walk Through it

Opportunities will come and when they do, grab the opportunity with both hands and go for it!

Why do I say this so emphatically? Many times through fear – fear of failure, self-doubt, unpreparedness, laziness, procrastination, myopia, and other reasons, sometimes, first, we do not even recognise that it is opportunity and second, should we see it for what it is, we are too scared to seize the opportunity and go for it.

I am learning that when a door is open, to walk through it. The same way that a door can swing open, it can swing shut also! You do not want to go through life with, “If only…” “I wish I had…” “If I knew then, what I know now” spoken from a bitter, unfulfilled tongue. You want the opposite. 

Your life should be and could be a continual carousel of experiences where you see the wonders of God’s Hand as He and only He, opens doors of opportunity. In Revelation 3:8, God Himself states, “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.”

If you need strength and courage, all you have to is ask. Isaiah 40:29 encourages you with this promise. ‘He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.’ Joshua 1:9 admonishes us to, ‘”Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”’

Go ahead! When that next opportunity comes your way, pray about it, seek God’s guidance, take courage, be strong, and when God says move, you move! 

Walk through that open door!

Until next time.
