I want to encourage someone today who may have just had a door slam shut in their face. I mean KABOOM, Mama said, knock you out kind of door shut in your face. Don't be dismayed beloved and don't be discouraged. For many of us, there are projects that we are sitting on that God gave us vision for but we have been dragging our feet. Or we have made commitments that God never assigned or intended for us to keep.
Use this time of closer to REGROUP with yourself along with fasting and praying to seek the Lord on what your next move should be. For many of us, we already know what we should be doing but out of fear of success or failing, we slow walk it. Sometimes (and we should be grateful) God will close a door that if left up to us to close, we would allow to remain open that although in theory its a great opportunity to be apart of and actively participating in but has reached its expiration date (by serving its purpose for that season) or as they say, "it may be good but not necessarily good for you" if it is taking you away from God's PRIMARY focus in life.
Don't count it a loss, but be grateful for the experience and the opportunity to serve in that capacity and then center in on what YOU have been singled out, and specifically called to do right in the here and now.
So be thankful in all things and begin to praise God on your way to and through your next open door opportunity. Again, don't be salty, bitter or disappointed when that original door closes, it was just a launching pad for you to continue on in the work God had called you further to do!
