πŸ’₯ When the door closes on a project, don't try to break the door down. STOP!

 
Comments by Joan Boney:
 
A woman in our church group decided to put new countertops in her kitchen.
 
As she pursued the project, nothing worked.
 
She was living in confusion and trying to make something happen and trying to find something she liked.
 
One day I was speaking with her by phone and called Pam into the room where I was talking and God gave Pam the answer.  Pam said, "Is there any reason you feel you have to do this project now?"
 
God has stopped me several times from doing something that I wanted to do.
 
We must not try to like something when do don't like it.
 
Just STOP when it doesn't work.  Maybe another time it will work. 
 
The woman did stop ... and she said, "I'm going to sleep well tonight!"

I Timothy 6   
 
 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
