The Key of Authority

*This weekly newsletter will share about the Bible Breakdown podcast, things about RLC, and my favorite things from around the web. My prayer is it will help you know God better.

Hello friends. Happy Saturday!

🎧 My Favorite BibleBreakdown Episode This Week>>>

📚 Scripture. 💪

(Isaiah 22:22) “I will give him the key to the house of David—the highest position in the royal court. When he opens doors, no one will be able to close them; when he closes doors, no one will be able to open them.”

Observation: This verse is a prophecy about authority and access. The key represents power, and the one who holds it has the authority to open and close doors. This is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, who has the keys of David. In Revelation 3:7, we’re told that no one can shut what He opens, and no one can open what He shuts. This means that nothing can stand in the way, no matter what obstacles we face, if God opens a door. Likewise, if He closes a door, we can trust that it’s for our good.

Application: Trust God today to open and close the right doors in your life, knowing He is in control.

Prayer: God, help me to trust in Your authority and timing. Open the right doors in my life and close the ones not in Your will.
