JESUS IS THE DOORMAN

"These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. " - Revelation 3:7-8

Jesus opens and shuts the doors of our life all the time, and no one can close what He has chosen to open - nor can anyone open what He has decided to close. He will forever remain the locksmith to our hearts.

God knows all and sees all. John 20:19 tells us, He can walk through walls, so one must never think they can hide themselves or their sin from the Creator.

NOTHING my friends - absolutely NOTHING - EVER - slides past God without His knowledge or allowance. He controls ALL THINGS, whether we agree or not! He always has new opportunities, new destinations, & new chances for us to show our faith in Him. If you're not happy with where you are right now - remain steadfast & patient as Jesus sorts through His vast "key ring" looking for just the right door to open for you. He may have to lock & unlock a few other doors first.

God has a plan for your life & will NEVER fail - yet ashamedly, many of us have fail to follow His will. He loves you SO very much - what have you got to lose? After all, it's an "open-and-shut-case".

Heavenly Father,

We ask for Your forgiveness when we fail to truly put our whole life into Your hands. You are the only One capable of taking care of us and handing the many messes we get ourselves into from time to time. yet, it's difficult to trust in what we cannot see. Thank You for loving us enough to send Your only Son to die for us and opening the door to an eternal life with You in heaven one day. Amen

I'mmmm Baaaaack!

Yes, my faithful blog followers - I'm back.
I quietly slipped away on haitus from this devotional blog for the last year in order to devote time toward another personal goal - to which I have experienced great success - but I presently feel God's pull to come back.
In addition to the periodic inspiring and encouraging devotionals I'll be posting, I'll be adding tidbits on Couponing 101. My daughter and I have taken a great interest in discovering new ways to help our famlies save money during this low economic period. We have taken a few couponing classes and have now been trained to teach all that we have learned to you to help you save 50%-90% on your grocery and drug store purchases.
Please click to "follow" this blogspot - and comment where you desire. I trust we'll become fast friends if we aren't already.
God loves you and so do I.
