…and many peoples shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that He may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” (Isaiah 2:3 ESV)
Open
Clark Griswold’s family was bitterly disappointed when Wally World was closed. I was disappointed when the Pharmacy was not open, and could not fill my prescription. Many were disappointed when Wichita’s Baskin Robbins closed their doors permanently.
Not only because those who were disappointed could not fulfill their desires. But those closed places feel like an indication that someone does not love us.
But God’s holy presence is always open for us.
We can always go to Him and learn from Him, because He loves us.
We can always go to Him and walk His way, because He loves us.
We can always approach Him, commune with Him, lean on Him, call out to Him, and worship Him, because He loves us.
God’s love keeps His doors open.
