When Your First Choice Is God’s Second Choice, The lesson of life is that there are times things are withheld from us for our own good. God closes doors to test our faith and to test our character.  The question isn’t really can you serve God when all you touch is turning into gold. But, rather can you serve Him when the doors don’t open?  In our spiritual life there will be times that the doors will be closed to us. Closed Doors Lead to an Open Vision. So if we know that closed doors are necessary in our walk with God and closed doors are not rebukes from the Lord.  The last thing we need to know is that closed doors will bring us to an open vision.
