Several days ago I read something about Closed Doors, Detours, and Roadblocks and thought what a great name for a movie. Later, I thought maybe that would also be a good title for one of poetry creations. So here goes...
Closed Doors, Detours, and Roadblocks
By my own design I am naught,
But by Jesus, I am bought
And taught.
He has prepared a toolbox
Of closed doors, detours, and roadblocks
But no chains or locks;
He whispers His voice,
While I apply my choice.
Come what may!
Closed doors are for my benefit-
Detours to show a better path-
Roadblocks to keep me straight-
His plan is for
Building strength,
Dependence,
And a willing mind and heart.
From the very start
Closed doors, detours, and roadblocks have a reason
Within my established season;
Closed doors are set in place
To slow my pace;
To correct and to protect.
He created the detours
And sent godly mentors;
The detours to help me navigate-
To establish my fate.
He set roadblocks to steer me straight;
To set my gait;
To find strength within the wait.
Closed doors, detours, and roadblocks
Are treasures found in my life’s toolbox.
