Often, I have heard the statement “when God closes a door, look for a window”.  That statement has bothered me when I have heard or seen it.  Why would one look for a window if God has shut the door?  Are you trying to get back into an area God has said to stay out of?  Family, friends, and people who are invited go through the door.  Who goes through a window?  Someone who has been locked out (by accident or intentional), emergency personnel, or people who are not supposed to be there, such as the thief. 

If God is closing a door, He has something else in mind.  Don’t try to force your way into an area where you don’t belong.  Look for the door He has for you.  In time, after you learn some things, God has for you to learn, and the timing is right, He may open that door for you.  Or you may mind you are no longer interested in it because the doors He gave you to go through were so much better than the one you thought was so great. 

When God closes a door, don’t settle for something like a window.  Look for the door He has for you and although it may not be easy, you will have His blessing on whatever it is that He has given you to do.  When He opens a door, you can walk through with confidence knowing it is the right door for you!
