Aug 06.99: Light For The Day - "The Closes & Opens Door"

"For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with
weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions,
and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am
strong."
-- 2Corinthians 12:10 (RSV)

"When One Door Closes in Our Lives ,
God always opens Another "

Sometimes when we
least expect it ,
a door closes in our lives.
Circumstances may change,
dreams may get shattered,
and plans for tomorrow
may disappear.

But when one door closes,
God always opens another.

When we're facing disappointment 
in our lives,
Sometimes it's hard to see
that this is also part of God's plan --
but it's true.
God knows what is best for us,
and He will lead us
to where we need to be.

Have faith in Him,
and you will reach
all the wondrous things
that He has waiting for you.

-- B.L.McDaniel

"No temptation has overtaken you that is not
common to man. God is faithful, and he will 
not let you be tempted beyond your strength, 
but with the temptation will also provide the 
way of escape, that you may be able to
endure it."
-- 1Corinthians 10:13 (RSV) 

"Blessed is the man who endures trial,
for when he has stood the test he will 
receive the crown of life which God has
promised to those who love him."
-- James 1:12 (RSV)
