Men compartmentalize. We have "boxes" for storing thoughts and information. Yes, the "nothing box" is an all-time favorite, but there's one even better: It's called the "doorkeeper box". As aware as I am of what this world has to offer, the chaos, treachery, brutality, deceit, the decay and darkness; that doorkeeper-in-the-house-of-my-God gig seems like the best form of eternal employment possible. It's that peaceful state that the New Age movement is always trying to pursue. It's what people turn to mind-bending drugs to try to find. It is really service to Him, (being His bondman), in His own beautiful, safe place - but only as we trust Him in everything.
There's peace beyond my understanding in that verse and in that box. The real truth is, we that believe are looking forward to something much better than a peaceful doorkeeper job. We are sons of God and will be enjoying the unfathomable privileges of that. Peace is one of the great rewards of trusting Him.
