Exit Signs

 

Exit Signs. To many, it’s just a word in neon lights. Nothing more. Nothing less. However, to someone, it’s a sign that’s scaring you to pieces. You have no clue what’s beyond that door under those bright red lights that read E X I T.  For someone, you may be faced with many doors. Whatever this situation may be, your mind is riddled with so many questions. 

𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕚𝕗 𝕚𝕥’𝕤 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕤𝕖 𝕠𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕤𝕚𝕕𝕖?

𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕚𝕗 𝕀 𝕗𝕒𝕚𝕝?

𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕚𝕗 𝕀 𝕠𝕡𝕖𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕕𝕠𝕠𝕣, 𝕨𝕒𝕝𝕜 𝕥𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙 𝕚𝕥, 𝕠𝕟𝕝𝕪 𝕥𝕠 𝕗𝕚𝕟𝕕 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕚𝕤 𝕟𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖?

𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕚𝕗 𝕚𝕥’𝕤 𝕕𝕒𝕣𝕜?

𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕚𝕗 𝕚𝕥’𝕤 𝕥𝕠𝕠 𝕓𝕣𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥?

Here’s the deal. 

It’s something we all experience in life because life is a series of ‘exits.’  You’re either going through one door, or your coming out of another door. 

Don’t be afraid of the “exit.” Don’t be afraid of where God is getting ready to take you. You see it as a sign of leaving something behind but God sees it as a sign of a new opportunity. The issue with us, a lot of times, we’re simply afraid. Afraid of what we can’t control. 

I challenge you to look at those signs asking a different set of questions:

What if it’s amazing?!

What if it’s God’s calling?!

Then pray:

𝓛𝓸𝓻𝓭, 𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓭𝓸𝓸𝓻 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝔀𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓶𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝔀𝓪𝓵𝓴 𝓽𝓱𝓻𝓸𝓾𝓰𝓱 𝓽𝓸 𝓯𝓾𝓵𝓯𝓲𝓵𝓵𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓹𝓾𝓻𝓹𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓶𝔂 𝓵𝓲𝓯𝓮?

Your exit could just be your new opportunity. 

You must be able to close a door in order to walk into what God has for you. God places exits in our lives because you wouldn’t be where you are right now if you never walked through that previously exited door. Every time one door closes, another one opens. 

Will you walk through the door? Or, settle for what is familiar and comfortable to avoid being used in the way God designed you to be? 

Taking the first step is vital to starting; however, listening to the still, small voice within is the key to winning the race. 

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.” (Isaiah‬ ‭43:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” (Revelation‬ ‭3:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Remember, as I've written before, if you take nothing else away from my blog - I pray you will never forget that you are "wonderfully and fearfully made" (Psalm 139:14). Never forget that you are the son or daughter of the almighty King of Kings and that you do not have to "BE" what the world expects you to be, but you do have to be what makes you happy! Do something kind today, be nice to others, and respect those you interact with. Strive to make a difference in others lives, but more importantly make a difference in your own life. Life is messy...thank God for Bounty paper towels, Grace & Mercy!

 "Pretty words aren't always true...and true words aren't always pretty, but when the truth is spoken, it's always beautiful!"

"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)

Make memories and make today count for today will never come again. GO! Be the awesome person God designed you to be! Have a blessed day! 

Blessings,
