Devotional: Behind Closed Doors
With the start of a new year, goals, resolutions, and progress are at the front of everyone’s mind. And setting new goals for the year is good. But let us keep in mind that our goals should be aligned with God’s will. So the question remains, how do we find God’s will, and how do we plan with Him? It all happens behind closed doors. Like an athlete trains, a doctor or lawyer goes through schooling, or a craftsman is first an apprentice, our lives start behind closed doors with God before they become public and bear fruit.
