The Psalmist David, wrote in Psalm 84:9-11, "Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly."
We will have opportunity after opportunity to be a doorkeeper in the house of God. May our God help us all to choose doorkeeping over dwelling in the tent of wickedness. Sin often looks attractive, while doorkeeping only looks attractive to those of humble heart. You know the ones, those who are so grateful to God for his love, mercy, and forgiveness. Those who would rather worship the "Exalted One" over being exalted themselves. No good thing will God withhold from them that walk in uprightness. Now that is a blessed person!
