Today on Insight for Living from Chuck Swindall.

You see God is at work doing the surprising. He is forever throwing us a curve and we

who much prefer our plan to his surprises often are too short-sighted to value the changes

that he has in mind for us which will lead us inevitably to real contentment.

When life doesn't unfold exactly as we wished, it's tempting to conclude that God has overlooked us. We equate His silence with indifference. Sometimes we feel like God is punishing us. Well today

on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall reminds us that none of these assumptions are true.

Revelation chapter 3 tells us that God knows our deeds and he's put before us an open door which

no one can shut.

Today's message is message number nine in a comprehensive study through the Book of Revelation.

Chuck titled today's message, Little Strength, open door, awesome God.

If you have a Bible near, would you turn to Revelation chapter 3,

Revelation 3, beginning at verse 7.

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia right, he who is holy, who is true, who has the

key of David who opens and no one will shut and who shuts and no one opens says this. I know your deeds. Behold I have put before you

an open door which no one can shut because you have a little power and have kept my

word and have not denied my name.

Behold I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan

who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie.

I will make them come and bow down at your feet and make them know that I have loved you.

Because you have kept the word of my perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of

testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole

world to test those who dwell on the earth.
