When God Closes a Door
When God closes a door, it’s not rejection—it’s redirection. His plans always move forward, opening new paths for those who trust Him. Isaiah 43:18–19 reminds us that God is doing something new, even when we can’t see it yet.
You can’t see the door God opened for you if you’re still staring at the one He closed. Sometimes we get so focused on what ended that we miss what God is beginning. His plans are never backward—they always move forward. Every closed door is His way of guiding you to something better, something that fits His purpose for your life.
“Do not call to mind the former things, or consider things of the past. Behold, I am going to do something new; now it will spring up; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.” — Isaiah 43:18–19
