The Door

Doors have been a symbol used by the Lord even before He walked this earth. The first mention in the Scriptures of a door was when Cain's offering was not accepted of the LORD, and He came to Cain and asked why he was angry and his face had fallen? He was told that sin was 'crouching at the door. It's desire is for you, but you must rule over it.' The next verse finds Cain murdering his brother. The last verse that speaks of a door is in Revelation, where John describes it: 'After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this."
Doors can have evil on one side and the Lord on the other, and yet we have been given the opportunity, the privilege, to walk through these doors. Angels wait with great anticipation to see what we as God's creation will do. These choices are given to us, not the angels. Consider how you might influence someone today about what door they might walk through...or not...
