“For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV)

Have you ever come across a door the Lord had closed in your life? Sure, many of us have! But it is so important never to give up despite the closed doors.

Picture this: One day you’re shown a big house with steps leading up to the front door. You open the door to see a long hallway with a lot of closed doors down both sides of the hall. And as you walked down this hallway, you expect at least one of those doors to open. None of the doors opened for you. You now have a choice. You can sit down where you are and give up or continue to walk down that long hallway. As you continue walking, you discover a small hallway off from the one you’ve been walking. And there you finally see that there is an open door for you to walk through. Had you stopped and given up, you would have never found the open door that was just hidden from sight further down that hall.

I believe that’s how it is with us. When God plants a vision in our lives, it doesn’t always become a reality right at that moment, but it has always worked out over time. It seems sometimes that we come up against closed doors. If we give up and begin doubting the direction we thought was right in the beginning, we would never come to the new doors of opportunities God has opened for us.

Whatever you may be facing today, continue to walk by faith, knowing God is moving you in that direction, even when it seems nothing is happening or changing. Your vision will never become reality if we don’t keep walking and  trusting God.
