New lesson

Today, God has revealed to me why things are happening the way they are.


God will never place anything in your life that you cannot handle. When thinking of this, I remember this verse 


1 Corinthians 10:13
"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."


But it isn't just temptation that God is helping us with. God will not let us go into a new area of our life if we are not prepared. We need to learn what God wants from us and let God change us before we are even capable of moving on in life.


Sometimes we tend to get so impatient with the closed door. I am guilty of this in multiple area's of my life. Instead of waiting on God to open a door, I run full speed at the door expecting it to open, or expecting to ram it so hard that it will break down.


Matthew 7:7-8 says “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."


If we just knock and trust God to open the door IF he sees fit, out lives would be so much better off. We need to seek God and seek his will and timing.
