Myth: “Some doors are so closed, not
even God can do anything about them.”
Actually, locked doors are kind of God’s
specialty… If God can open the heavy door of a sealed tomb, no circumstantial
door is too closed to Him. Consider what happened after the Resurrection:
“When it was evening… and the doors of
the house where the disciples had met were locked… Jesus came and stood among
them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’… A week later His disciples were again in
the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came
and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’” (John 20:19,26 NRSV)
The doors of our lives are not closed to
God. He has the power to enter into our circumstance and grace us with His presence.
-- John Ortberg in “All the Places to Go… How Will You Know?”
