Opening Verse
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20, KJV)
Introduction
Every day, we face a choice that determines the direction of our lives. This choice isn’t always obvious, cloaked in the mundane or the routine, yet it holds eternal significance. It’s about whom we are opening our hearts and lives to.
Devotional Story
Imagine two visitors knocking at the door of your heart. One is the King of Glory, full of love, truth, and eternal life. His presence brings peace, hope, and joy that surpasses understanding. The other is a deceiver, the prince of this world, who promises temporary pleasures that lead to destruction and despair.
Every action, every thought, every decision is an act of opening the door to one of these visitors. When you choose kindness, honesty, and love, you open the door to God. When you indulge in selfish desires, deceit, or harm towards others, you open the door to the enemy of your soul.
What This Means
The choices we make daily are a testament to whom we are truly serving. Serving God brings life, peace, and eternal joy, while serving the earthly desires leads to emptiness and eternal separation from God’s love.
Think About This
Consider your daily choices and actions. Who are they inviting into your life? Are they reflecting a life dedicated to God’s glory or are they aligned with the fleeting pleasures of this world?
Prayer
“Heavenly Father, guide me in making choices that open the door to You and Your eternal kingdom. Help me to recognize the true nature of the decisions I face daily and to choose You above all. Amen.
Closing Verse
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23 KJV)
