Behold! I stand at the door and knock. Rev. 3:20 RSV
The words blazed out through the stained glass as I sat in the empty church. When I stood, they became dark. I walked forward to get a closer look - the words still were dark. And I realized that the golden words had messaged me directly where I had been sitting.
Even a heart that feels open to the Holy Spirit can find Him knocking at a deeper door. Is there something He wants us to do, or someone who may need prayers? Do we need to sit silently before Him to discern His will? What are you saying Lord?
Hound of heaven, we're not always good at hearing You. Please give us eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart open to Your words.
