2Ki 4:5-6(KJV) So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
I have been wondering why the bible would be specific about the shutting of the door.
The song by Randy Stonehill echoes the words “.. Shut de door keep out the devil ….. It is when you are at your lowest moment that the devil visits not on a courtesy call of course , but to take away whatever else that is remaining.
When the widow shut the door behind her, she was able to work without interference. She was able to focus on what was at hand and be at her best. Shut the door to distractions from the enemy and maximize on your blessings.
When we shut the door, we prevent anybody from coming in and interrupting the process. When we shut the door, we keep negativism out. Listen not to those saying “you cannot make it ” and ” your end has come”. Do not open the door for the devil to pop his ugly head in.
