GOD'S PROMISES - CLOSED DOORS

You may have instances in your life when no matter what you do it seems like you keep running into closed doors.

You want to advance in your company. You try for a promotion but you do get it. Not because you don't know the job but for some reason management decides not to select you for the position.  Months later the pandemic hits and you are sent to work from home, which you love, and all of the employees in the position you were trying to go to still have to remain working in office. 

Later, you are thinking of moving to a lateral position in the same company. You have a friend that works in that department that tells you what the duties and responsibilities consist of and it sounds good to you. When your friend wanted to transfer, she did not have to apply. She notified her manager and was transferred the next day. You decide this is the job for you so you reach out to your manager to apply and are told you have to wait until the following week when the job is posted and apply. You don't understand why but you follow the instructions that were provided to you.  A week later you find out that certain aspects of the position have changed and it is no longer a job that you are interested in and you are so happy that you were not immediately transferred to the new position.

In both instances, God closed the doors. He saw what would happen if you were to get both of those positions and it would not have been in your interest.  Isn't God good!

Inspirational Bible Verse of the Week

Philippians 3:7-9

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ - the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.
