Think About This

T.A.T.

I noticed a beautiful wall hanging while visiting my daughter, Dawn. It had a very simple, but profound message written on it. “Until God opens the next door, praise Him in the hallway.” During thoselimbo times in our lives when we seem to be stuck in a hallway between the end of one journey, but not yet with full vision of the next, it is easy to lose hope and begin the descent into depression or fear. Even as we pray for direction or assurance it seems as though there is no light because the doors on both ends are closed. God does not often give us an explanation of His plans concerning the future. I know I have stood in the middle of the road yelling at God that I am not moving until I know which direction to go. I wanted Him to save me from making a wrong choice or provide a way forward when I could not see one. In those experiences I learned that He seldom moves until the last minute. I also learned that He is always faithful to provide if you will have a little faith and notice the bits and pieces He is putting together that will form a whole as soon as the time is right. While I realize that sounds as ambiguous as nonsense, it is none the less true. He does not leave us alone in the hallway, He is there. He wants our trust. Our sure belief that He has everything under control. Praise Him in the hallway. Praise Him when there is so much darkness you cannot see the light. Prepare yourself for the opening door by being confident of His love in the darkness and ready to move ahead when He opens the next door. Thinkabout this. - Janith Emm
