“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: 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 3:7
God is Lost!
Walking through the hallway of life you encounter many doors. Some closed doors you try to open but you can’t. Some open doors you wish to close but you fail. You try and try but you don’t succeed. Have you ever faced a closed door that you wished you could open? Have you ever tried to open a closed door and you couldn’t no matter how hard you tried?
Standing in front of all these doors makes you feel lost. You then turn to God and search for Him and you feel He is not there …….God is lost?
Can we lose God?
No, we really can’t. the reason simply being that you can’t lose somebody if you know where they are. That is if you know where they are, then they are not lost. But listen you can lose sight of someone. That is what shut doors do and that is when tend to think that you lost God. In fact……
When you lose God it is not God who is lost, it is just you who lost sight of Him.
He is still there where you can find HIM. HE IS THERE BEHIND EVERY DOOR OF YOUR LIFE. But shut doors make you lose sight of what the rest of your journey might look like. Look at the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32 ). Did he loose his father? All the time his father was there ….where he left him…..he just lost sight of his father……because of a shut door.
BUT WHO CAN OPEN THAT SHUT DOOR?
