For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

Fellow doorkeepers: Would you rather do something else? Be the vice president? Now that would be important, wouldn’t it? Too much? Maybe you’d rather move “up” by smaller degrees – to the mailroom, for instance. Let me remind you that “important” is simply in the eye of the beholder. It has to do with what is needed at the moment. So don’t be so hasty. Remember, remember something important: The doorkeeper carries the keys. He unlocks and locks the doors!

And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Can you think of anything just about now that needs shutting out or opening up? I thought so. It’s time to unhitch those keys from your beltloop and get busy!

Psalm 84:10; Matthew 16:19
