I read a devotional from Dick Mills recently that talked about transition, that many of us find ourselves in a place where God has closed a door behind us, but the door in front of us is not open yet. This is the transition zone. We need to see and believe that the God who closed the door behind us will be faithful to open the door in front of us. The Bible says "...These are the words of Him Who is holy and true, Who holds the key of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open" Revelation 3:7b NIV. What a powerful scripture! Sometimes it's so easy to think that people control so much of what happens in our life, whether it be someone in authority, a manager, or whoever. But for the believing Christian Jesus is directing the affairs of your life, not people. Sure we will run into situations where we have trials with people, but God will give you wisdom on how to handle them. You see, when Jesus closes a door - IT'S CLOSED...and when He opens a door - IT'S OPEN. When we've committed our way to Him there's nothing anybody can do to stop His work and blessing in your life. Jesus will lead you to streams of living water, to increase, and to life more abundantly (John 10:10)!
God cares about every detail of our life. When we wholeheartedly commit our way to the Lord and do our best to follow the Holy Spirit's leading, God will lead you in all the areas of your life. What's important to you is important to Him, and He watches over things that we would never even dream of. Jesus also says..."Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows" Matthew 10:29-30 NIV. There is something here that is extremely powerful. Jesus is saying that even birds do not drop to the ground without God's consent and you are worth way more. So God will take care of you and direct our way so meticulously and so precisely. All we need to do is pray, commit our way to Him, take time to listen and watch God go to work on your behalf.
If you are in that transition zone or when you find yourself in one, trust that the God that brought you out will bring you into your new season in an amazing way. He is faithful, and He will be faithful to you!
