(Revelation 3:7-8) “What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.” 


FINDING THE RIGHT DOOR 


(Ephesians 5:17) “Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.” 


 God’s moral will. What God has already said in His Word. 


 God’s sovereign will. What God is doing on the earth.


 The more I get to know the moral will of God and the sovereign will of God, the better I will find God’s will for my life. 


(Psalm 139:16) “Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
