“I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have.” (Revelation 3:8, 11, NIV 1984).
My Musings – When Christ opens the doors for us, it doesn’t matter if “[we] have little strength.” Just keep His word and do not deny His name. It doesn’t matter how great the opposition is. What He opens “no one can shut.” But we can refuse to enter through the door. In doing so, we miss out on the reward for being faithful.
My Advice – “You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you” (Galatians 5:7–8, NIV 1984), the one who opened the door.
Let’s make sure that the “haves” (“kept My word”) and the “have nots” (“denied My name”) are properly aligned in our walk.
