The Doors Are Closing

Luke 13:24-25
24"Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Sir, open the door for us.' "But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'

In the scripture above Jesus was explaining the concept that God will not wait on us forever to get our act together. We all have choices to make. Jesus has an appointed time to return and once that time has arrived, it's too late. And no matter how much we beg, the door will not be opened again.

The truth is that God operates the same way in every area of our life, not just spiritual. The doors of opportunity are only open for an appointed time. Once that time has passed, the doors are closed. We spend so much time on the fence thinking we have time but that's not the case.

Matthew 24:50
50The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.

It is indeed a shame when God's grace has run out and the doors are closed. It's only at that time do we often realize what a great opportunity we just missed.

AMEN PRAISE HIM!
