Behind Closed Doors

Have you ever heard the saying....I wander what goes on behind closed doors. Walking by a door that is closed and you might know that there is a business meeting, or at the Dr's office wandering what is going on, on the other side?

Closed doors can bring about a lot of curiosity. Sometimes maybe the door is ajar just a bit and you want to peek in.

The baby is sleeping and you have the door almost shut and you want to look in and see if she or he really is sleeping or just wanting to see them sleep and afraid that if you open the door it might squeak and wake up the baby.

Why is it that things we can't see can bring about a curiosity in us. The unknown is always fascinating.

The Bible talks about closed doors. The door to our heart can be closed to hearing the truth about the Gospel.
Jesus is standing at the door knocking wanting to come in but we must open that door to let Him in.

What about the doors in our mind....wouldn't it be fun to read someones thoughts? But on the other side of that I really don't think we would want to. But then don't we ofter wander what caused someone to do what they do? What were they thinking?

Suicide bombers for example...what would make a person strap on a bomb walk into a crowd and pull the cord?
What would make someone want to go blow up innocent people that have never done anything to them?
I know none of us know the answers to that but I do know one thing that people left on their own without any knowledge or belief in God or His son and keep refusing to believe the truth the Word of God says that He will turn them over to their own sin.

Romans 1:28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29:Furthermore, since they become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy,murder, strife deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful, they invent ways of doing evil...31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, and ruthless...

This sounds like our world....oh there are a lot of good people in our world today but the bad are very bad.....and getting worse...

Open the doors of Heaven and come quickly Jesus!
