The Door Opening God

"Life up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may come in." (Ps. 24:7 ESV) And where the King enters, His disciples may follow. It seems a short time ago that I was lamenting closed doors and underemployment in the Kingdom. But God is faithful. He has opened a door in R. I. with a precious couple who desire to start a ekklesia. He has opened another door with a group of Brazilian believers close to my current abode. He has opened a third door with another group in Cambridge. He is doing good things all around the Boston area. Thank you, Jesus.
Experienced a wonderful time of mutual edification (cf. Romans 1:11-12) yesterday. We were blessed with many visitors including Jim & Marilyn from Memphis, Ross and Trina, an itinerant couple in ministry, my friend Russ, and our faithful brother Freddie. Each one had something to give to us from the Lord.
Reading in 1 Peter I came across a verse that i have certainly read at least a hundred times. Yesterday it jumped off the page. At one time I got excited by doctrinal verses. This one speaks to the heart that we need to have in Christ.
"Finally, all of you, have unity of mind,sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind." (1 Peter 3:8 ESV) May it be so in our lives, Lord.
