Watching the watchmen.

Reading: Ezekiel 33-34, Psalm 114, 1 Timothy 2

Scripture: Ezekiel 33:6, But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.

Thoughts: Who are the watchmen in your life? Watchmen are those people who call sin, sin. They are the ones who are out there warning people of the consequences of their actions. Charlie Kirk was a watchman, he was willing to stand up for Christ and call out sin. Not only do we need watchmen in our lives who can call us out when we have sin or when something is attacking us. We also need to be watchmen for others.

Prayer: Father God I thank you for those men in my life who act as watchmen and point out where I fall short. I ask that you send more and deepen the relationship so that we can call each other out when things go astray. I ask that you help me to stand in the gap and speak love and truth to this world. Not condemning but to be a light on those things that are not of you. Help us all to call sin, sin that we may be repentant.
