Open Doors
And once again, we will be looking at the things God does for us, and not us for Him.
Romans 5:1-2
By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us—set us right with him, make us fit for him—we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that’s not all: We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand—out in the wide open spaces of God’s grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise.
How many times have you made a decision for God in your life, only to realise a bit later how everything that pre-empted that decision falls in place at that very moment in time?
Reading this scripture this morning I just realised again that God uses EVERYTHING to bring His plans to fruition, and no matter how many time in life you want to do things on your own or not want to do things because you are lazy, God will use you if He has a plan for you.
Sometimes it might take a bit longer, or maybe not, due to you missing certain promptings from the Holy Spirit, but recognising the next one, and taking that, which in the end, gets you to exactly where you need to be.
I always stand in awe at the way the Lord uses things for good in life, where the only thing we as humans can do is to listen to God’s word and do what He asks us to. In the end, He doesn’t need us to bring His plans to fruition, but He wants to use us, and we should be glad about that, because I think life would be rather boring if we were not part of the greatest adventure ever.
