Are you looking for doors to open to you? Have you been pounding on doors that just won’t open? Have you considered you have been knocking on the wrong doors? Are you willing to knock on the right door? Will you walk through the right door when it is open?
Door knocking can be frustrating, tiring, and nerve racking. When those doors don’t open, it can be disappointing. We can become depressed when door after door remains closed. It is especially disheartening when it is a dream of ours that doesn’t come true.
There is one door we all can walk through, if we are willing. It is one we may feel we don’t deserve…, and we would be correct. We can walk through the door of righteousness. Jesus opened the gate for us. He has prepared the way, and He stands on the other side with His arms wide open waiting to welcome us.
When Jesus went to the cross and rose again on the third day, He threw open the gate for each of us to walk through. All we need to do is accept Him as our Lord and Savior. When we do, we walk through the gate of Lord, and we enter righteous. Not because of anything we have done but because of what He has done for us.
Most of us believe we are unworthy. Yet, God has deemed us worthy. We should not doubt our worthiness to God. We are his creation. He loves us more than we can comprehend. Rather than telling ourselves we are unworthy, we need to be thankful that God loves us. We need to trust that God loves us and he knows what he is doing.
I pray we forget the doors that won’t open. I pray we seek the door that God has opened to us. I pray each one of us will trust that God loves us and has deemed us worthy to walk through his gate. Seek God’s open gate. Trust God loves you. Know that you are worthy. Walk through the Lord’s gate righteous.
Psalm 118:19-20
Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord;
the righteous shall enter through it.
