The God who knows how to open doors for you is the same God who knows how to close them. If I had been Noah, I think I would have struggled to close the door of the ark. After all the prayers, the years of preaching righteousness, and the investment he made into the lives of others. I would have been hoping that someone would make a last-minute decision to step inside before the rain began. But thankfully, God knows our hearts. The Bible reminds us, “Whenever our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts” (1 John 3:20). God knew Noah’s heart, and in His mercy, God Himself shut the door of the ark. Sometimes we need to let God close the door so He can lead us into the next season of our lives. Stop striving. Stop explaining. Stop overthinking. Place your heart in God’s hands. He will give you the strength to move forward when you cannot. Trust Him with the doors that open and the doors that close. One door may close, but God is already preparing another. He is the God of opened and closed doors, and His timing is always perfect. Be encouraged, something good is on its way to you and your family. Trust the One who holds every door in His hands.
