Keepers of the Keys

Email This Post

It is seldom that we lose keys in our household. That could relate to the importance of obtaining access to areas of our lives. One day this week I left one set of keys at home. Though the world did not come to an end, it was an inconvenience. I thought about locks.There are keys for homes, cars, gates and business, which for me is a school. If a person is important he or she will carry several keys for each area.

Keys allow access and keep out. We keep thieves out and allow trustworthy people in. We allow friends and family to use our keys but we would not think of handing them to a stranger.

Spiritually, we hold keys, too. We allow people in and keep some out. We hold the key to the future and lock some people in the past. There is the ability to unlock dreams if we mentor and encourage. We could be guilty of closing doors of opportunity instead. It is possible to lock someone into a pattern of past behavior because we can not let go of experiences.

The words you say are powerful keys. You might discourage a wonderful servant by complaining. On the other hand, you could give magnificent expectation by encouragement.

“Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.”
1Thessalonians 5:14
