Psalm 84:10 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.
Being a door keeper for the house of God; aren't we all if we are disciples of Christ? We need to invite others in to see what we see. Someone called us to come and see what the Lord had done for them and in so doing we have been added to the house of the Lord.
Today think of yourself as a doorman for heaven. Engage those that wonder by to come and see the House of God. See what has been done through Jesus death, burial and resurrection. Invite them into your heavenly Father's Kingdom.
Acts 4:19 But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, Luke 12:4"I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. 5 But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!
When confronted by those that do not want to hear the truth we have no choice but to do what God has told us to do. The threat of persecution for preaching the truth should not keep us from telling the world about Jesus. Peter had learned his lesson about denying Christ. We should learn from his example. Peter when confronted by he same people that crucified Jesus he has no fear of them any longer. He knows not to put his soul at risk for the sake of his body.
Our bodies will cease to exist, but our soul faces an eternal destination. We have to choose where we will spend our eternity. It is that serious.
Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
Proverbs 13:10
Advice; most of us love to give it, few of us love to receive it. Let us heed the Godly advise of those that may be more spiritually wise than ourselves. In so doing we will gain Godly wisdom. Following Godly wisdom leads to a Godly life.
