OK, so a friend of mine, Dave Jewitt, in his daily devotional used the scripture Psalm 75:6-7. The scripture says "No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man. But it is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another."

I take great comfort knowing that my life is in God's hands. He can and will do with me whatever he chooses. I may have many plans, but the outcome is God's. (See Proverbs 19:21)

God is Judge. That is the meaning of the name Daniel which by the way just happens to be my name.

I hold the key of David. Whatever, I open no one can close. And whatever I close, no one can open.

This thought found in Isaiah 22:22 and Revelation 3:7-8 has been a prevalent and important thought to me in recent years. It provides much peace as I trust in Father God to open and close doors in my life. He is trustworthy. He is a good and loving Father who has plans for me. He alone has the key to open the right doors for me to walk through as well as to close and lock the wrong doors that He wants me to avoid.
