The Spirit of Jesus opens doors and closes doors.

In Acts 16:6-7 we read...Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to.

I don't know how the Spirit of Jesus allowed Paul and his friends to realize that the door was closed in their travels , but I'm sure he used people and circumstances just like he does today with us.

God closes a door, or two, or three, to get us to where we need to be. In this process, we may not understand why. We may be hurt from misunderstanding or rejection. There may be fear or sorrow attached, even great pain. What I know beyond a shadow of a doubt is that God closes doors for our good. He closes doors to move us to where we can best serve him. There is work to be done.

Whether you are behind a closed door, confused, or standing in an open door with nervous anticipation, God has this. Trust him.
