Oh to be a humble doorkeeper...
"For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness." - Psalm 84:10
There is nothing that can compare with the felt presence of the Living God. As a noted Bible teacher, Beth Moore, states, “There is no high like the Most High.”
How do we feel His presence? This is the work of the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead – coequal, co-divine, co-existent, and co-eternal with the Father and the Son. He dwells inside of us and Lord Jesus told us in John 16:14 that Holy Spirit will manifest Him – Lord Jesus – to us. Paul also reminds us in Romans 8:16 that Holy Spirit will confirm to us that we are God’s children. How does He do that? Yes, most certainly the veracity of God’s Word tells us this, but also, the confirmation of feeling experienced deep within in our spirit that we belong irrevocably to the Father.
So, to be a doorkeeper in the court of the King. To live in His felt nearness throughout the day, every day, no matter where we are or how hectic life can get is the high calling and privilege of every believer. Easily offering praise and adoration from our overflowing sense of His presence.
This. Is. Life. Itself.
Nothing compares. Nothing fulfills. Nothing satisfies, like the very presence of God.
