Close the Door

10/26/2016

“13That very day Noah had gone into the boat with his wife and his sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—and their wives. 14With them in the boat were pairs of every kind of animal—domestic and wild, large and small—along with birds of every kind. 15Two by two they came into the boat, representing every living thing that breathes. 16A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord closed the door behind them.” (Genesis 7:13-16 NLT)
 
Did you catch it? Do you see what the Lord did? I know that this scripture is familiar but there is something that we consistently overlook. Noah did all that God commanded – Noah and his family and all of the animals entered the ark, “Then the Lord closed the door behind them.” Why didn’t God allow Noah to shut the door? Why did the Holy Spirit make a point of letting us know that it was HE who closed the door? Think of the symbolism – think of the evil that God shut out and left to die, and the righteousness that was shut in and protected. Think of the image in relation to your own life and the “doors” that you would like God to close. Perhaps there are doors that YOU are trying to close, but can’t. The Arc is a picture of salvation and God closing the door is a picture of His work for us. Pray for God to close the doors that need to be closed in your life.

We should all close the door to evil and temptations. No matter how tempting the offer is for us, if it is made through evil intentions, then we must never let it in our lives. Only trust God's words and succeed through your own hard work. Never let anybody take away our desires and be tempted by their evil ways. Trust in God and do your best to achieve your goals through the moral way.
