watchman ...

As I journey my middles path of life, I am feeling more and more weight and attention needs to be spent on whether or not I am being good salt or good light. The urgency to go and to tell of Jesus Christ is getting to a fever pitch. It isn't about actually leaving country and home to do so but to be the light and the salt here right where I am because it is getting darker and darker. The lower lights have burned out.

A good title for my life job is WATCHMAN. I have always been intrigued by this word especially when I would read it in the Psalms. But I found a great piece on this job description in Ezekiel 33:1-9. This job comes with weighty responsibility. If you don't warn those you are in charge over then the destruction that comes will be on your head but if you warn and the countrymen do not heed that warning then it is on their head!

My life touches other lives at work. I see the dangers in their lives. I must speak up and sound the warning. My life job is to spot the lie and tell of God's Truth. If they don't heed, it isn't me they are slapping in the face but God's face..... Still the warning must go out.

I Corinthians 16:13
'WATCH, stand fast in the Faith, be brave, be strong ..."
