Good Thursday afternoon, my friends.
"I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest" (Isaiah 62:6).
"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from Me" (Ezekiel 33:7).
Are you a watchman (watchperson?) for those around you? Are you standing in the gap? Looking out for, and giving warning of approaching danger?
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
Father, it is through devout godly people that You repair, restore and rebuild lives as they raise up the unchanging, ever relevant ancient words of Scripture.
It takes faithful watchmen who serve with great vigilance, untiring in presenting the unchanging truths of the Holy Scriptures to a world that is continuously and increasingly desecrating that which was once sacred.
Father, help us to be watchmen for our families, co-workers, and friends as we carefully measure the present principles of this world by the eternal principles established in Scripture.
Grant us courage to speak out when the foundations are being shaken just as the watchmen were not silent night or day.
We do not stand in the gap alone but You, our Father, are with us and we stand in Your courage and strength!
Amen.
