Locked Doors

Paul reminds us, "The God of peace will sanctify you wholly" (1 Thessalonians 5:23). When I was younger a speaker referred to our hearts as a house with many rooms. Some of these rooms have locked doors so that God cannot deal with us on those hidden issues. The speaker said we must open every door to God.

I wonder if the speaker had forgotten the story of Jesus suddenly appearing to the disciples behind locked doors (John 20:19-29). We cannot prevent God from dealing with any issue in our lives (Hebrews 4:12-16). If we try, we only prolong our misery.

Let's run to our healing Father today (Exodus 15:26; Psalm 103:3; Psalm 147:3-6).
