“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:

These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

Revelation 3:7-8

Think of a time when God opened a door for you that you couldn’t have opened for yourself. As you remember answered prayers, restored relationships, ministry opportunities, and conversations about the gospel, take a minute to thank God for the times He came through for you, when you couldn’t do what you needed to do in your own strength. When we face trials, suffering, and doubts, it is essential that we remember the many times God has provided for us in the past. We can hold on to His promises that will remain with us and guide us through difficult times.

Today’s scripture teaches us that Jesus has the “key of David”—that is, He has all authority over creation and over God’s kingdom. When Jesus opens a door, no one else can shut it. And through the cross, He has swung open the doors of heaven for all who call upon His name. When we were at our weakest, Jesus stretched out His arms so we could be welcomed in as beloved children.

Let’s continue to trust Him, even when we have little strength, for He is “holy and true,” and He will not forget us.

Prayer

Father, thank You for the doors You have opened for me. Help me remain faithful to Your name, knowing that You have already opened the doors of heaven for me!

Scripture References

24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,

25not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

And I tell you that you are Peter,

and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades

will not overcome it.

I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

22Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.
