God is speaking of His people, the Israelites, who have once again strayed from Him and His care.  He promises to bring them into the wilderness (midbar in Hebrew)
which actually has a connotation of pasture rather than desert;
a place to be fed and refreshed and cared for.
The Valley of Achor is the Valley of Trouble –
but in their trouble, God promises to give them a door of hope. 
He also promises a change in relationship –
from Master to Husband; from a place of
religion (do and don’ts) to a
place of relationship (intimacy). 
Do you need a door of hope today? 
Do you need to be led into the wilderness, into the pasture to be fed and refreshed? 
Ask the Lord today to bring you into that place and through that door. 
And in going through you will see that your relationship with Him changes
from one of a task master that requires performance
 to a husband that requires your presence.
