Closed doors offer lots to learn. Though disappointed with delays, may we follow his lead. Charles Stanley’s In Touch With Him posited that God can use our desires to teach us his ways.
Here I share his teachings as a personal reminder to always trust him as we seek his guidance.
To mold us into his image
To prevent mistakes
To redirect our walk with him
To test our faith and build perseverance
To buy us time
Our impatience causes us not to learn. Later, we find we are not ready for the opportunity. God’s ways are not our ways but he knows best.
