5 HABITS OF DIFFICULT PEOPLE Difficult people (some of whom are professing Christians)consistently:
1. Excuse ungodliness. See That’s Just the Way I Am.
2. Judge others hypocritically. See 3 Rules: God, Diamond, or Sawdust.
3. Avoid giving direct, specific apologies.See Self-Defense
and
How to Say I’m Sorry.
4. Consider themselves better than others, often based on externalpractices.
See I’m a Recovering Pharisee and The Pharisees Had High Self-Esteem.
5. Lose their tempers, yell, say things they shouldn’t, give people the silent treatment or the cold shoulder, and/or act immaturely. See Anger is a Serious Sin.
IT'S UNLIKELY THAT A DIFFICULT PERSON WILL READ THIS DEVOTION AND REPENT. BUT LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T JOIN THEIR RANKS (1 PETER1:3-11
).
Let's read through this list and honestly evaluate our actions. Do we need to deal with some of these areas so we don't become difficultpeople?
I know I do. How about you? ------------------------ See also A Cleaning Principle that Applies to Our Spirits, When

16 DOORS
I love doors.
Whenever I’m traveling, I take pictures of DOORS. I even started a Facebook page called Doors of Joy in Jesus where I add Scriptures topictures of DOORS.
DOORS are important. Sometimes God opens them and sometimes He closes them. Sometimes God sends us to someone’s DOOR to share the gospel or words of encouragement. Some people close the DOOR in our face, and other people open it wideand invite us in.
DOORS mark beginnings, transitions, and endings. Maybe the fact that I’ve lived in over 40 homes in my lifetime is one reason I like DOORS. I know what it means to walk out of one DOORand into another.
God talks about DOORS in a variety of ways in His Word. Here are 16examples:
1. Sometimes sin is crouching at our DOOR and we need to rule over it (Genesis 4:7 - See Choice).
2. The blood of the Lamb on the DOORframe protected God’s people from death (Exodus 12:23 - SeeThe Scarlet Cord
).
3. God’s words should be such an important part of our lives that we want to remember them coming and going, as if they are written on the DOORframes of our homes (Deuteronomy 11:18-21).
4. Being close to the Lord is so wonderful. Even if we were only DOORkeepers in God's house we'd be better off than living anywhere else (Psalm 84:10 - See Cartoons and Cinnamon Rolls).
5. We are blessed when we daily wait at the DOOR of God’s Word listening for His instruction (Proverbs 8:32-34- See Rabbit Ears
).
6. We shouldn’t pray to get people's attention. Instead, we should close the DOOR of our prayer closet and focus on the Lord (Matthew6:5-6
- See Earthly or Eternal Rewards).
7. If we knock on the DOOR of God’s will, He will open it (Matthew7:7-8
).
8. Jesus is the “DOOR” (or the gate) through which His true followers enter (John 10:1-9).
9. The resurrected Jesus didn't need a DOOR to visit His followers. He could appear in a room supernaturally (John 20:26).
10. Sometimes angels open DOORS for the Lord's people (Acts 5:19).
11. God opened the DOOR of faith to all ethnic groups (Acts 14:27).
12. Sometimes God sends earthquakes to open DOORS that imprison His followers (Acts 16:26 ). 13. Often God opens DOORS for effective evangelism (1 Corinthians 16:9 and 2 Corinthians 2:12and Colossians 4:3
).
14. When we complain, we should remember that our Judge is waiting at the DOOR (James 5:9) . 15. God opens a DOOR for genuine believers to enter His Kingdom and no one can shut that door (Revelation 3:8).
But my favorite verse about a DOOR is this one: 16. "BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK. IF ANYONE HEARS MY VOICE AND OPENS THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN TO HIM AND EAT WITH HIM, AND HE WITH ME." REVELATION 3:20 Have you invited Him in? I have!-----------------
If you are on Facebook and would like to enjoy a Scripture door each day of the week, check out Doors of Joy in Jesus . You can "open doors" of encouragement for others by sharing these doors on your Facebook page.💙

HUMAN CHAMELEONS
A tiny lizard jumped from my windowsill to a patch of brown grass in the yard, changing from green to brown.(1) This made me think abouthuman chameleons.
The Old Testament gives us a good example in 2 Chronicles 24.
Joash became king as a child and he was a godly ruler as long as his mentor Jehoiada was alive (2 Chronicles 24:1-2).
He made reforms in Israel that honored God. But when Johoiada died, Joash changed his colors, abandoning God and leading Israel into idol worship (2 Chronicles 24:17-18).
He ignored God’s prophets and even killed Johoiada’s son. Sadly, there will always be chameleons in this world, people who seem to be headed in the right direction who slowly or suddenly change their colors. When we love these people, they leave us sad and confused. Satan hopes we'll follow their example and change our colorstoo.
That's why we must never found our faith on people. Instead, we have a sure foundation in the unchanging character of our Savior (Hebrews13:8 ).
“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11 ----------------------- (1) They’ve discovered that chameleon lizards change colors for a variety of reasons, not necessarily to blend into their environment. But this little lizard definitely blended into his surroundings. 😊 To reinforce the truths in this devotion, I encourage you to read about the three reasons that God asked Abraham to offer Isaac: Abraham Didn't Know He Could Do It.
