"He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him
occupied with gladness of heart." Ecclesiastes 5:20 (NIV)
How many times an effectual door is opened and we are thrilled and elated at the prospect of ministry and then for some reason it is closed and our heart sinks.
What is the reaction of our heart in regard to our emotions. Is it turned heavenward or earthward. Do we find disappointment, questioning etc taking over our thoughts.
If we allow God to keep our heart filled with gladness we would find that disappointments are a stepping stone to something greater. A door has to be closed before another will open. There is also a process of walking from one door to the other.
I heard a pastor once say that Jesus was Father conscious and not earthly conscious. Lift your eyes unto the hills where your help comes from. Be glad and Rejoice in Him!!!
