Doors of Opportunity

 

    The Bible is strategic, practical, real, map to life, and a love letter.  It shows you doors that God opens and closes.  It teaches hospitality, grace, love, and more things to help you with the opportunities that God provides.  It is relational.  The Bible teaches you how to have a relationship with God and other people.

    To have doors open in life, you need to understand the simple concept that you need to put other people before yourself.  It is your responsibility to know your part as a Christian to you can help other people.  Do make excuses where you fall short because no one cares and God will not accept them.  Acknowledge your shortcomings, repent to God, and allow the Holy Spirit to show you how to move forward in that area.

    Church is important.  It can open a lot of doors in every aspect of life.  However, your personal walk with God is more important.  If you can't honor God in private, then you are not honoring God in public.  It is every Christian's responsibility to reach out to other people to make it where they don't feel alone in the world, bring people into the Christian family, and equip them to do the same.

    If you want opportunities in life, then you need to be in your Bible with intent and looking for content.  Once you realize that life is not all about you, but about God, then you can really start to worship Him.  Worship looks at the big picture and you understand just how magnificent God really is.  It opens your eyes in how to love other people like Jesus.  Worshipping while reading the Bible shows you how to plan in a way that honors God.

    Once worship becomes a part of who you are, you will do it differently.  It affects your emotions, mental intent, and spiritual awareness by changing your heart.  It makes your relationships with people deeper.  Even new people can tell if you are being genuine or not.  You will want to help others without thinking about what you will get out of it.  Your become welcoming as you embrace God's truth and seek understanding in all situations.  The truth will compel you to try to love people like Jesus.
