Powerful God
No one can rebuild
what he destroys,
or release
those he has imprisoned. ~ Job 12:14 (CEV)
I am the one who is holy and true, and I have the keys that belonged to David. When I open a door, no one can close it. And when I close a door, no one can open it... I know everything you have done. And I have placed before you an open door that no one can close. ~ Revelation 3:7b-8a (CEV)
KEY THOUGHT:
No one can derail God's train.
PRAYER:
You, God, hold all the power. Thank you for opening doors in my life. Help me to trust that you will continue to hold them open and that no one can derail your train. I'm going to give up my worry and have faith in your power. Amen.
