Do you know how to open a door?

A few days ago, a friend posted the message below on Facebook:

It made me laugh because I’ve done that … on more than one occasion!
It’s not uncommon for us to be rushing through life, preoccupied with a host of thoughts and demands, and not pay attention to how we enter something (or sometimes what we’re entering!) and push against a door that needs to be pulled.
We’re often encouraged to ask God to “open doors” for us. God fills our lives with opportunities every day. Sometimes the problem isn’t needing another door, it’s more a matter of pulling open the ones that are there rather than pushing against them.
