PARABLE:
Reminder to self:
STOP TRYING TO PUSH THRU DOORS
God has KEPT CLOSED to me.
He's "on my side" AND knows BETTER than me:
The pain of loss that I feel at failing to open a door
is nothing compared to the PEACE
of just trusting God's got a great plan for me
& He can work out "this"-- whatever "this" is For ANY of us....
THE LADY OR THE TIGER is an 1882 short story by Frank R. Stockton
that is even in many high school English texts.
A poor guy falls in love with princess.
Angry King drags him to 2 doors where he MUST open one.
One has a lovely Lady,
the other a starving Tiger.
BUT the Princess found out which & sneaks an answer to him!
THE Q: Does she love him enough to save his life--
OR to "give" him another woman?....
THANKING GOD,
HE loves us enough to keep BAD doors closed!...

What does LORD God say ??
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
7a Do not be wise in your own eyes... (New KJV)
New Living Translation: Trust in the LORD with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
SO WHAT ??
How FOOLISH we are when we do not trust God...
or when we even honestly think we do but are focused on getting
guidance from other people... AND CHOOSING THE GUIDANCE WE LIKED.
Prayer:
LORD I truly DO want wisdom ONLY from You.
Help me to learn that wisdom includes..... WAITING quite often
for YOU to open the right doors. THANK YOU for closing bad doors to me!
