Matthew 16:19, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever You bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Keys unlock doors. Keys unlock chains and motors and treasure chests and journals. Or they snap shut vaults, secure buildings, store valuables.
Word keys open dreams and hearts and secrets. Offer challenges for puzzles and mysteries. Follow the clues. Where will they take us?
King of king and Lord of lords, Creator of the universe who holds all power in His control offers to share His kingdom. To give His keys into our keeping.
“Whatever.” No restrictions? How can He trust us? With our history of greed and war. Our disregard for life and land. Our intense self-interest.
Kingdom keys. Faith keys, kindred keys. Given to those He loves. Given to those who believe with eyes of hope. Hope in His name.
With trembling lips I pray Your name Lord. And unlock Your sanctuary.
Psalm of Worship: Psalm 91:14
Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
