Dr. Harry Leafe teaches that Christians misuse the saying, “God opened a door for me.” The idea of the Lord “opening a door” is used in Scripture to refer to His making a way for the sharing the gospel.
However, in making a decision unrelated to ministry, many Christians simply say, “The Lord opened a door,” when in fact the Lord had nothing to do with the decision. They simply did what they wanted to do. They avoided the heavy lifting of seeking spiritual wisdom from the Word.
I thought this teaching point was pertinent to step 4 of the lesson, “Act on Revealed Truth,” so I included it in my PPT slides for the lesson.
