福音之门
“因为有宽大又有功效的门为我开了，并且反对的人也多。”
哥林多前书 16:9
你有没有撞过玻璃门？你以为是门开的，实际上没有。嘭！等你回过神来，才发现那里有一扇门。而且门是关着的！最糟糕的是，你的朋友或家人看见你撞门，都哈哈大笑。你只好自认倒霉，也许还尴尬地笑一下。但是，你的脸还疼得厉害呢。
要找到敞开的门，你要用上帝给你的一切恩赐：视力、听力、感觉。你要去找寻。让上帝来带领你。聆听他圣灵的指引，寻求他的智慧。跟紧耶稣，不走错路。耶稣不会带你走冤枉路。耶稣不会欺骗你并嘲笑你。
使徒保罗写道上帝为他打开了一扇敞开的门。但是不会因为门开着，一切就会容易或者完美。但是保罗相信上帝给了他一个机会，让他为主作伟大的见证，影响世界。
今日祷告：
亲爱的耶稣，求你带领我，让我经历祢。阿们。
April 12 – Open Door
There is a wide-open door for a great work here, although many oppose me.
1 CO R I N T H I A N S 1 6 : 9
Have you ever walked into a sliding glass door? You thought it was open but it actually wasn’t. Bam! It took you a moment to figure out that there was a door there, and that the door was closed. And the worst part was probably that all your friends or family were laughing at you. You just had to roll with it. So you smiled and maybe chuckled a bit. But ouch, your face hurt!
To find the open door, you must use all the resources God has given to you—sight, hearing, and senses. You must search for it. Ask God to lead you.
Listen for his Spirit’s guidance and ask for wisdom. Stay close to Jesus so that you aren’t led the wrong way. He wouldn’t lead you the wrong way. Jesus wouldn’t trick you and laugh at you when you smash into a closed door.
The apostle Paul wrote about a wide-open door God had opened for him as well. He didn’t assume everything would be easy or perfect because the door was open, but he knew God was giving him an opportunity to make a big impact in the world in which he lived.
Pray for the Day:
Dear Jesus, lead me to the right opportunities, the ones you want me to go
through. Amen.
