Doors of denial or trust?

We try so hard to make it happen, whatever “it” may be. The “it” can be doors of destruction or even doors of blessing. Have you ever considered that the door won’t open because it was never intended to be pursued? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and getting the same result but expecting something different. So many times I feel like we do this. We just know what is best for us, so we pursue it over and over again. We weren’t intended to live a life of denial, yet we constantly revert back to this behavior of insanity. What is wrong with us? Maybe it’s because God is far from us? A life lived independent of God is a life lived in perpetual denial. There are Christians who love God but try to put Him in places he isn’t. Many Christians ramble on, “Oh God did this and God did that” when in reality they are trying to cover their decisions with lies of denial. We’ve gotten good at spiritualizing our sin and lack of trust in God! To put it plan and simple: Christians are pro discount shoppers. They find out what they want and put a God discount tag on it. Stop seeking for opportunity in dead ends and dangerous street alleys, when the Lord is saying loud and clear, “I’m not there!”
Are we willing to be thankful with where we are in God, with others, and with our self? The fastest way to blessing is thankfulness. God will entrust more to those who are thankful and responsible with what God has given them. In fact, God gives the desires of their heart, to those he loves. Can God trust you with his desires; can he trust you with yours? Are we going to label what is done by man as God’s way or will we trust in Him? As we begin to trust in God with the small things and only open the doors he has for us now, the doors that we worry about and try to control will be opened.
