No closed doors for God | 2

‘. . . all things serve you.’ Psalm 119.91

Yesterday, we looked at the way in which God may, at times, work through our difficulties to bring about his glory rather than taking them away. The reassuring aspect of this is that there is no event or circumstance in which he is unable to work; there are no closed doors to God! Yet how are we meant to know whether our current anxiety is something God wants to take away, or work through?

Our starting point needs to be the revelation of Jesus in the Gospels. We need to take account of the fact that the Bible reveals Jesus healing sickness whenever he came across it on every recorded occasion. Certainly there are times when Jesus paused to do something else first, as in the case of the man lowered down through the roof whose sins were forgiven before he was able to walk. Generally, however, Jesus’ desire seemed to be to heal. This does not mean that life will be free from difficulties, but that even in tough times there is always an assurance of help and the presence of Jesus.

In every circumstance and in everything that happens in your life, nothing is a closed door for God. All things serve him and his glory.
