As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.2 Samuel 22:31
The sound of a slamming door is harsh. No one likes to hear that sound, because we often associate it with rejection. And when a door of opportunity slams in our face, the rejection can be more personal and deeply felt, especially when we felt the opportunity was a perfect fit for us.
We tend to look at lost opportunities through our own perspective. We think, "That was the one chance I had, and now it's gone. Nothing that good will ever come along again. That was it!"
But when a door of opportunity is slammed, remember that God has a reason behind it. And although the reason may not be clear to us, we have to recognize that God's plans are greater than our own. He is Sovereign and He never makes a mistake with our lives.
He has reasons for closing doors in our lives. The Bible says, "His way is perfect." He has reasons for not allowing you to take that job or not allowing that relationship to work out or not allowing that wish to be granted. Trust God and know that his ways are perfect and his reasoning is flawless. Look beyond the closed door. See it through God's perspective. And realize that the slammed door is a grand slam with a purpose.
Choose therefore to rejoice in the Lord - when God closes one door, He often opens another!
