Surest sign of God's Will

Do not dismay or be discouraged when doors shut. I have learned through years of walking with God~ and observing His ways~ that the surest indication of God's will is a closed door. That is a GOOD thing! How often have we said, "How do we really know God's will?"  Well, here you go! :)

I have actually learned to be THANKFUL for closed doors~  ONE PATH to surely eliminate! As a matter of fact, as it says in Streams in the Desert today: "Ask Him to shut against you every door but the right one. . . " (F.B. Meyer)

Clarity in the journey is the best we can ask for~  step by step~ day by day. I have learned to TRUST the GUIDE. He knows what is best and has my best interests at heart~ for MY GOOD and HIS GLORY! Frankly, what else do I walk this planet for?


I believe I am here for the glory of God and the furtherance of HIS KINGDOM of LOVE and GRACE on earth. My true Home is with HIM~ and I look forward to residing there throughout eternity.

In the meantime, I say, ~ just POINT THE WAY~  so I can please You and make a difference for Your Kingdom. Wisdom and guidance is the best I can have~  and, in the end,  ALL YOU AND I NEED.

So, thank you, Father, for CLOSED DOORS!  I will turn another way . . .  step by step. . . day by day . . . in faith. Will you join me in the walk of faith?

Flowers grow outside the window of my prayers,
The message I hear again and again: New life ahead!
Trust Me in the darkness, your loss will mean gain;
For each Door that has closed, a Window remains!

"See,  I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."  Isaiah 43:19
