The Wrong door

As I watched from my kitchen window I observed my neighbors cat sitting by the door of our outbuilding. Granted our outbuilding looks like a 'mini house' with a front porch and rocking chair and even a door mat. It's easy for that cat to believe that someone lives on the other side of the door, but no one does. That cat was sitting there in vain. The cat was waiting for someone to open the door to let him in or better yet feed him, but I knew it would never happen. Don't we act like that cat sometimes? We sit and wait by a door that is not the right one? We think that what we need is on the other side, but it's not. We think if we wait long enough someone will open the door for us. Sometimes we feel like we have all of the answers and we know what is best, but we are told in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."

You know what that tells me? We can be fooled like that cat or we can seek God's will by reading his word. He will teach us, train us, correct us so that we will be able to do a good work. I am so thankful for the Lord's love and for giving us His Holy word to guide our steps. Have you been sitting outside the wrong door? If so go to His word. It's never to late.

Happy reading.
