How will you wait?

We think that when one door closes, God will open another one. Now, while I believe God will close doors, relationships, access, contracts, etc. that are detrimental to our being and purpose, what if He doesn’t open the next “thing” right away?

What if God doesn’t immediately open another door because He needs you to heal or sit and deal with what you’ve just come out of? What if God doesn’t open another door, right away, because there’s some pruning and processing required before you are mentally ready to get what’s next? What if the next door isn’t opened because God needs to strengthen you while you wait? What if the next door isn’t opened, immediately, because God needs you to slow down and rest before you get up for the next leg of the journey?

What if the blessing is the closing of the door AND the waiting? How will you wait?

You do know that God is still God even when you’re looking at the closed door and waiting. You do know that God will provide. You do know that when God deems you ready, He’ll open everything meant for you and there will be nothing lost. Including your life, mind, provisions, stuff, and time.

So, how will you wait?

“But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” – Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

  1. GOD will always get our attention at some point in life. And yes we have to sit and wait on his time not our timing.

    Lakisha keep doing your teaching you are the best

  2. seeking His presence through prayer and scripture, faithfully obeying His commands, and serving others while expecting Him to work in His perfect timing
