PERSPECTIVES FROM DAVID’S
7 SECRETS
CHAPTER ONE,
“Bring on the Giants.” P. 1
...HE OPENS A WINDOW
“When God
closes the door He opens a window,
He opens a
window so I can see
He’s workin’
it out the very best for me
He opens a
window just for me.”
Ronna Jordan
wrote that song for our musical “The Dreamer” in `1983. And the truth is, if it’s God’s business we
are in, why should we care if it’s door #3 or a window? Our part is to be available, a servant, and
do what The Lord has placed in front of us until we are given direction to move
on, no matter how many doors get closed on the way there.
At the end
of his ministry here on earth, Jesus told his disciples not to worry about the
future. He said, “My Father will give you whatever you ask in my Name. Until now, you have not asked for anything in
my Name. Ask, and you will receive, and
your joy will be complete.” Our asking God for direction to follow His will is
exactly what He wants as well. So, I believe the answers will most certainly
come as we are asking with the right motive.
In David’s
case, after he was told by Samuel what His calling and destiny would be, the
Spirit of God came on him in power. But, the sheep pen’s door still got closed
behind him and the window in front led back to the pasture. God did not feel David was ready to be king
quite yet. But David was still able to
say, “Show me the way I should go, for to You, I lift up my soul. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God;
may Your good spirit lead me on level ground… for I am Your servant.” Ps.
143:8,10,12.
Jesus
promised the Holy Spirit would come on us in power as well. “But you will
receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my
witnesses…to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
Paul told us
in I Thessalonians 5:16-18 what God’s will for us was. He said, “Be joyful
always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s
will for you in Christ Jesus.”
And I will
add….
KEEP YOUR WINDOWS OPEN!
