Today’s Scripture
“Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut.”
Revelation 3:8, ESV
Doors You’ve Closed
It’s easy to lock doors to areas of our lives because of fear, because we think we don’t have the talent or qualifications, because of hurts, or because of mistakes we’ve made, times we’ve failed. You may have gone years with a locked door, thinking it could never happen. Your time is coming. You may have shut the door, but God is about to come through it. Don’t be surprised when doors open that you tried to keep closed. He’s going to present you with opportunities that seem way over your head. Don’t shrink back. You are well able. The fear may not leave, but you’re going to feel a new confidence, a new boldness—that’s the Most High God breathing in your direction. He’s about to take you where you could never go on your own. Those doors you closed didn’t stop your destiny. God knows what’s in you. He knows what you’re capable of. He’s not going to let fear or the negative things people have spoken over you hold you back. He’s about to do something better than you imagined.
A PRAYER for Today
“Father, thank You that You are the doorkeeper of my life. Thank You that You have the power to open doors that I’ve closed and bring new opportunities that will take me to new levels. I believe this is a new day to be bold and break free from the limitations that I’ve set for myself. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Today, I want to talk about how you can depend on God’s wisdom to succeed. Wisdom from the Lord comes by God’s unmerited favor. It is not something that you can study for or acquire with your efforts. Wisdom from the Lord is something that the world cannot have.
This is not to say that the world does not have wisdom. Step into any bookstore today and you will find shelves full of books containing experts’ theories and methods on all sorts of subjects. The majority of these, however, stem from human wisdom, which strengthens and builds up only the flesh.
Whether they know it or not, the people of the world are crying out for true wisdom from the Lord. Just look at the constant demand for self-help books. But what we need is not more “self-help.” What we need is the Lord’s help! Read books that are written by Spirit-filled believers and Christian leaders who encourage you to look to Jesus and not to yourself.
Psalm 1:1 tells us this from the start: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly.” Beloved, this means that there is counsel in human wisdom. But the man who does not walk according to the wisdom of the world is the man who is blessed.
At the same time, if his delight is in Jesus, and he meditates on Jesus day and night, Psalm 1:3 says, “He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.”
My friend, make a decision to walk in the counsel of the godly and not in the counsel of the world, and you will see whatever you do prosper. God has raised up men and women who are established in the truths of the new covenant, and who will help you keep your eyes on Jesus.
In Him, you will find all the wisdom that pertains to life. The Bible tells us that in Him “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col. 2:2–3) for your success. Keep looking to Jesus, draw on His divine wisdom and see the difference it will make to you!
