I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. Psalm 84:10
We were recently shown a photograph of a man standing in front of the main entrance to a large office building. His only task was to open the door for the CEO of the company, and no one else was allowed to enter through that door. It caused me to wonder who had more joy in his life, the doorman or one of the richest men in the world. The glamour of wealth and fame draws many to do whatever is necessary to achieve it, but it can bring suffering and heartache. The above verse serves to remind us that it is the humble servant of the Lord who experiences the greatest joy in this life. With a new conference year ahead of us let us renew our resolve to labor for the spreading of the gospel. God has given us gifts and talents and by exercising them in His service we can experience the joy of being a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord.
