Random Thoughts- 25

Why try to open a door that is already open? But that's exactly what I did when I absent-mindedly pressed the elevator button for the lift doors to open up. The doors were open, waiting for me to step in but there I was, not comprehending reality.

It's reported that a man was able to escape from every confinement, from straight-jackets to iron shackles. None could hold him. But there was one time when he was challenged and failed to free himself from a prison cell. He entered the cell wearing only his street clothes, and the cell door was shut behind him. Once alone, he pulled a piece of metal from his belt and began working the lock. But something was wrong. No matter how hard he worked, he couldn't unlock the door. For two hours he applied all his skill and expertise to the lock, but failed again and again. Two hours later he gave up in total frustration and slumping to the floor, hit the cell door with his head, and the door sprung open - it had never been locked.

God opens doors for his children often and then wait for them to enter and find peace, joy and fulfillment, but the children keep doubting and ask again and again for the door to open up. They place several fleeces before God, even though God would have already given them a confirmation. You can't open a door that God has already opened. Just enter and find rest. God bless.
