Waiting in the hallway for a new door to open

I have learned over the years that God often closes a door in our lives in preparation to opening a new door. But the problem we often encounter is knowing what to do in the hallway as we wait for a new door to open.

Here are a few things I have learned over many years:

1 – Stay thankful. This keeps us in an attitude of faith.

2 – Stay open to whatever God has for us both now and in our next season.

3 – Stay in community. Be open with others you can trust.

4 – Expect God to surprise you!

I love what Paul the apostle says, “a great door for effective work has opened to me (I Cor. 16:9).” God is no respecter of persons. Expect Him to open a great door for effective work for you!
