Remember the old story of the lady and the tiger? There were two identical doors. Behind one was a lovely lady; behind the other was a ravenous tiger. Selecting the right door led to bliss. Selecting the wrong door led to destruction.
The doors in life may not be so graphically different and choosing the wrong one may not lead to instant death but the choices we make in life do indeed impact us -- sometimes forever.
Many people live a lifetime with the consequences of their wrong decisions. They choose the wrong career. They marry the wrong person. They neglect to believe God's word.
Of all the erroneous choices one can make, only one lasts for eternity. Only one.
Having the wrong career may result in unfulfillment throughout ones working years. Marrying the wrong spouse can cause one a lifetime of wondering how things could have been.
But rejecting JESUS, the LIVING WORD of the ETERNAL GOD will relegate a person to a dark and sorrowful eternity.
It is imperative that each of us recognizes the hand of God in our lives. It is important that we realize that He wants us to not only recognize His hand but to respond to it.
God closes doors that no man can open and God opens doors that no man can close. The Holy One is acting in the behalf of His errant creatures when He goes about closing and opening doors.
If He is engaging in that activity for you, should you not avail yourself of His effort? Should you not be certain which door you select to walk through?
