Not every open doorway should be explored. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between can we and should we. The old saying is that “God doesn’t close one door without opening another.” I’ve found this to be true but I’ve also learned that Satan also opens doors. Sometimes it takes a lot of prayers to figure out which is which. And, always trust that gut feeling that tells you that something doesn’t seem right. Especially when you can’t see what waits in the shadows just beyond the threshold.
About tonight’s Feature image. Up until recently I thought this abandoned building was a train station but I have learned that it’s actually an abandoned bowling alley. We live at the northernmost range where Kudzu can grow. Every summer the kudzu completely swallows not just the building and every winter it all but vanishes.
Wow!!!! Would you look at that? Nature is such a gem from above! I agree with the message. Not every open door comes from our Heavenly Father. We have to be careful and pray a lot. Blessings & love! ❤ Xx

Hmm, that’s an interesting thought. I never thought of it that way that Satan opens some doors. I will have to reflect more on new doors with a better perspective now. Thankfully.

Unfortunately I have stepped through the wrong door a time or two. One time God warned me in a dream not to take a job offer 3 days before the offer was made. From that moment on I trusted my gut feeling.

I remember my cousin told me about a Muslim who got a warning about a job because they were dabbling in criminal activities, he spoke up and got fired and then the authorities sacked the company. I’ve been getting visions from a young age (too scary for me). God works in mysterious ways and sometimes we are outright told and warned in dreams. Best believe that it is for our own good no matter how much of a loss it might seem at the time. This is a lovely reminder to keep faith.

I’ve had some of the workers who worked there comment on Facebook about the millwork. The whole operation was powered by one electric motor.

You’re right, Lloyd. It’s sometimes confusing whether it was God or Satan who opened the door for us. But just like what you said, we’ve got to listen to our hearts and follow our gut feeling, for God speaks through our hearts ♥️

Thank you ❤ "Good decisions come from experience and experience comes from bad decisions." – I'm not sure who said it first but I think that it was Benjamin Franklin.
