"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 NKJV
The doorkeeper would rather stand at the door of God's courts than fall to the temptations that the world has to offer. He sums it up really, he would sooner be standing at the door of God's Courts than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. You know, to the wicked - the people who refuse Jesus and consequently spend their life enjoying the pleasures that they chase after. To them it is wonderful, but really, they're spending their time in tents when they could be in a mansion. Food for thought.
What if we live the life of pleasure and ignore Jesus? How will it feel on the Day of Judgement when you realise that your name is not on the invitation? How will it feel to see your family and friends who know Jesus as their Lord, walking into the courts and you are turned away? What if it is the other way around and you are welcomed into the courts and your family and friends are turned away? Is it really worth the gamble?
This is not just a story written to scare people, it is fact. One day, and this may be soon, we will all stand before the Lord to give an account of our lives. If your name is written in the Book of Life, you are invited to walk into the kingdom. However, if it is not written in the book, you will be turned away, with no second chances. This is serious stuff!
There is more pleasure in being a doorkeeper at God's door than missing out on a life that you could never imagine how wonderful it will be. I would sooner sweep the M25 with a toothbrush than miss out on this. How do you feel about it? Do you know that there is no guilt in God's presence, none at all. Guilt comes from the devil who will do everything he knows to prevent you receiving an invitation from God to enter His kingdom. If you don't believe this, then he has done his job well in deceiving you. The thing is, you will be the one who misses out while every other Christian person enjoys eternity forever and ever,
If you know Jesus, that's great, you will be invited in, but what about your family, will they be? Don't you feel that you should speak to them? Even if you can't speak face to face, you can always text them. Try anything to get them saved. You will all be together then.
If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:
Lord Jesus, I have sinned
I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
