Journal Entry from August 16, 2010:At the end of the Beautiful One Conference, each woman was "randomly" given a slip of paper that had been prayed over with some scripture verses on it. These are the verses I received:
Psalm 84: 10-11
"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. For the Lord God is a sun and a shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless."
I looked up the meaning of "doorkeeper" in regards to the Lord's temple and found that it was a person who was able to lead others into the glory of God. This was our desire in our situation with Aliyah....to usher others into the glory and presence of God....to allow God to work in BIG supernatural ways.
Rod and I were given opportunity after opportunity to share with others as to how God was working in our situation. My new prayer became...."Lord, teach me how to be a doorkeeper in your courts." I sensed that it was an awesome responsibility, but I wanted to do it well. When we are a doorkeeper and standing in the Lord's presence....He becomes a sun and a shield to us....He becomes our light and our protection.
