Lord you have been too good to me and all that is mine. You have not only kept us through this year, you have kept us in style. Looking at my life and all that you have done, I wonder what it might take to keep me out of your will. I have given this very deep thought and I am pretty convinced that I am not going anywhere. I choose you, I stick with you and my mind is made up.
I have said it before and I mean every word of what I have said, that even if you didn’t bless me one more time, you have done too much already and I will still hold on to you.
If I was stripped of it all; blessings only you could have given and you gave me. I will still be holding on to you. The song in my heart today is that I will rather be the keeper of the door than be thrust out of your presence. I do not need any lofty height or position to be satisfied; all I need is access to your presence and I will be fine.
As long as I will be able to gain entrance into your holy presence, I will take the keeper of the door task. At the door I will fling the doors wide open and beckon to others to come and enter into your marvellous presence.
In your presence there is fullness of joy at your right hand are treasures forever. Why will I trade your magnificent presence for something fleeting? Who in their right minds will trade gold for mud?
All that I can ever be or do for myself pales in comparison to who I can be in your presence. That is why my song today is that I will rather be the keeper of the door. I will gladly take the most lowly of positions just to be close and right at your feet.
If Mary sat at your feet and received commendation for choosing the best, then why will I not take the keeper of the door position Lord? I am nothing except for that which you have made me to be. I make no boast in anything I have done by my power but rejoice in the grace you have released upon me.
Even then dear King of Heaven and Earth, I will rather give it all up and make my way to the door if anything but your presence is promised.
This one thing I ask, this one thing I seek dear God heaven, that I will drink from your living well, to know you in the place where your glory dwells.
Show me the way o Lord!
