For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries. 1 Corinthians 16:9

 

“Stick to your guns” is a popular saying that’s been around for a long time. Its meaning is to stay close to your beliefs and follow the path ahead with diligence and not let things or people distract you from achieving your goals.

 

God oftentimes places doors of opportunities for you to pursue as part of His plan to grow you spiritually.  But, just as today’s scripture reminds us, there are always adversaries there, ready to trip you up in  your plans to pursue what God has provided. Satan uses people, things and circumstances to divert your attention away from God’s intended goal and blessings. If you lose focus, you’ll veer off the narrow pathway and never receive what God intended for you to have and accomplish.

 

One thing I’ve learned in life as a Christian, God NEVER stops providing doors of opportunity to grow you. If you are like me, there is probably a door waiting for you to open and write a new chapter in your Christian journey. Take it! God promises to protect His children and provide them the necessary vehicle to get you to the finish line. Keep your hands on the wheel and stay focused on God. Don’t get distracted by the enticing billboards Satan has put up to make you take the next exit off God’s plan. Stick to your guns friend and find God’s blessings as you open that door of opportunity with faith! God bless!
