Doctors don’t come ringing our doorbell to treat us. We have to go to them if we are not feeling well. The same goes for all of our challenges. We cannot hope for help if we do not ask for it.
Praise God for the closed doors.
We plan our projects and lift it all in prayer, confident that we have God’s blessing. But in front of closed doors, we doubt or are confused. We forget that sometimes closed doors are a great blessing!
Why do we have to obey the authorities?
You live in a country and your government has just passed a law that you do not like. You can show your disagreement in different ways, but the Bible is clear: not through civil disobedience.
The foolproof recipe for obtaining a blessing
“Do this to get your blessing!” “Follow These Simple Steps to Get Into God’s Promises!” Really? As we read the book of Job we quickly understand that there is no perfect recipe with God.
It's time to take a break
It’s good to set goals and have plans, but we can’t be constantly busy. It is good to take vacations, time to rest, even in our desire to build a life together.
