The Unstoppable Door

The Unstoppable Door…

“He openeth, and no man shutteth.” — Revelation 3:7

In a world filled with closed doors and unexpected endings, these words from Revelation 3:7 offer a beacon of unwavering hope. Spoken by Christ to the church in Philadelphia, they are a powerful declaration of His sovereign authority and an encouragement to all who follow Him.

Think about the doors that have closed in your life. Perhaps it was a career path that didn’t materialize, a relationship that ended, or an opportunity that slipped away. These closures can leave us feeling defeated, uncertain, and even forgotten. But Jesus reminds us that His open door is fundamentally different. When He opens a door, it is not subject to human interference or the whims of circumstance. No person, no power, no problem can shut what He has ordained to be open.

This truth applies to various aspects of our lives. When Christ opens the door to salvation, no one can snatch us from His hand. When He opens the door to understanding His Word, our minds are illumined in ways previously impossible. When He opens the door to service, He equips us and makes a way where there seems to be none.

The key is to recognize who is doing the opening. It is not our striving, our networking, or our cleverness, but the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, “He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David.” His openings are always in perfect alignment with His divine will and for our ultimate good.

So, when you face what seems like an impenetrable wall, remember this profound truth: if it is God’s will for a door to be open, it will be. Our role is to trust His leading, walk through the doors He opens, and have faith that the doors He keeps closed are for our protection or redirection.

Gracious Father, we thank You for the unwavering truth of Your Word. Thank You, Jesus, that when You open a door, no one can shut it. Forgive us for the times we have doubted Your sovereignty or tried to force doors open that You intended to keep closed. Help us to discern Your will, to walk by faith through the opportunities You present, and to rest in the assurance that Your plans for us are good. May we always remember that Your power is absolute and Your love is unfailing. In Your precious name, we pray. Amen.

God opens doors no man can shut, and shuts doors no man can open. Trust His divine architecture for your life.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
