Watchmen
History is filled with watchmen. People who refuse rest, food, peace and comfort so others can enjoy all those things. In ancient times watchmen stood on the walls of the city, watching, ready to call out should something threaten. They were awake so the city could sleep. They paid so others could play.
Soldiers are watchmen. So are firefighters, police, and countless others. They pay so that others can play.
[I think contributors are a type of watchmen. While people around them are squandering resources, taking them for granted, they are denying themselves so they can help in times of need.]
Last Tuesday I felt pressed to become more of a watchman for my post at Crown. And so this morning it began…I came in earlier, gave up sleep, and began to pour out myself in prayer for the things God has for us as an organization. I have no idea where this is going to lead, just that I am asked to carry more weight in prayer.
And if God calls, I’m always in.
