The other day I saw a poster with this on it…” If God has shut the door, why do we keep banging on it?” I pondered this for quite a while, knowing I’ve been guilty many times. We know that we know the Lord has slammed shut a door, but our foolish pride refuses to listen or realize that God knows best.
Instead we’ll stand pathetically at the door, hammering away, insisting the Lord was wrong. Pride deludes us into thinking we have more wisdom than God. When a door gets shut, we need to be thankful and at peace, knowing He wants only the very best for us.
