Opened nor closed doors indicate the will of God

Message summary & scripture references

Believers will often say, “If God wants me to go this way, then He will open a door of opportunity,” or, “this door closed because God has something better for me.” God may open or close doors of opportunity, but the state of the door (aka opportunity) doesn’t indicate the will of God for your life. Watching doors open and close can mislead you and put you in a state of confusion. Listen to today’s Daily Word to learn more about this concept.
