Limping Through Open Doors

"I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name." - Revelation 3:8

Do you ever feel weak in your faith? Do you ever feel unless someone intervenes that you may just collapse with fatigue? Do you ever feel like you are just not strong enough to persevere alone?

That is how the church in Philadelphia felt. Most likely a small church, they had gone through many trials and temptations. It would make sense that they were tired. They just didn't thave the physical numbers of nearby churches. But they didn't give up. 

With whatever tiny amount of strength they still possessed, the Philadelphians continued to keep the word of God, and not deny His name.

That is why God promises so great a reward. He isn't looking for the strong or mighty. He's looking for the exhausted soul who declares, "As long as I have any strength to speak of, I will praise Him!"

Are you feeling weak today? Don't give up. God has great things in store for you.
