Shut the Door

Shut the door behind you. Shut out the distractions. Shut out the naysayers. Shut out the doubters. Look away from the ones trying to lead you astray. Turn from the ones who only offer negativity. And darkness. And despair. Look for the helpers. The ones who offer light. Look for the ones who have grounded themselves in the promises of God. The ones with the unshakable faith. The ones who see the impossible with their eyes but believe in the possible with their hearts. There won’t be many. There won’t be a crowd willing to believe that the God of yesterday is still the God of today. That He still longs to help. That He still keeps His Word. But the faith of Elisha. And Abraham. And David. And everyone single one who came before us and trusted. And stood up. And offered hope. Look for the ones with that kind of faith. The world will offer you a multitude of answers to your pain. But if the answer isn’t rooted in Jesus Christ, then it’s not an answer at all. It’s just another problem waiting to weigh you down. Surround yourself with a cloud of witnesses. Open your Bible. Sing songs to the Lord. Focus on your faith. And shut the door.
