Acorn Build Up: Closed Doors

Closed Doors

Luke 9:3-5 (The Message)
[Jesus] said, "Don't load yourselves up with equipment. Keep it simple, you are the equipment. And no luxury inns - get a modest place and be content there until you leave. If you're not welcomed, leave town. Don't make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and move on."

When we follow Jesus, we will undoubtedly encounter closed doors now and then. It seems like it is an inherent part of the pilgrim way. But closed doors don't have to become a big deal.

Jesus taught His disciples to simply shrug their shoulders, move on, and try some other door. The important thing is to keep trying doors!
