"Shut The Door"
20 When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door upon him, and went out.
2 Kings 4:20-21 NKJ
Sometimes you can't afford to keep the door open....No matter how much you love that person, how much you love that thing.
Sometimes you must shut the door and trust God to work it out.
HEAR ME: If that person, if that thing was really a blessing given to you by God...That relationship, that friendship will be restored to you, all roads will lead you back to that place and to that thing.
Mother, you don't have to cry. Shut the door.
Father, you don't have to bare the frustration. Shut the door.
Man or woman. Shut the door.
God knows what you're going through, but he also knows what he promised you.
Therefore, Shut the door and seek counsel, godly counsel.
Because 2 things I know, God is not a man that he should lie. Numbers 23:19
And Job was out of his mind with grief when he said, "The LORD giveth and the LORD taketh away." Job 1:21 NASB
The LORD doesn't give and take away...He simply removes this person, removes that person or thing when he sees fit to do so. There is a difference.
Takes away implies cruelty, but removing implies making room, protecting, shielding you for what you know not of.
So, Shut the door...It's going to be alright...In the words of The Shunammite Woman featured in the text: "It Is Well." 2 Kings 4:25-26 NKJ
● Read 2 Kings Chapter 4 to fully understand why it's okay to shut the door.
Until Next Sunday.
