A WISE WATCHMAN
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever" - Daniel 12:3
The story was told of a Christian girl who gained admission into a university to read Law. In her first year, she was fervent in her Christian faith, winning souls. She later became lukewarm, insinuating that her studies was the reason for the change. However, the Holy Spirit convicted her of her lukewarm state and she repented and returned to her vibrant Christian life, sharing the gospel with students. What a wise watchman! The song writer wrote: O brother, life's journey beginning, With courage and firmness arise! Look well to the course thou art choosing; Be earnest, be watchful, and wise! A wise watchman is one who believes in Christ, watches over his soul and wins souls for Christ (Proverbs 11 :30).
Our text affirms eternal reward for such Christians. I encourage you to be wise and watch over the souls of unbelieving youths around you. Resolve that none of the youths that you are in contact with will miss heaven and you will shine as a star forever.
Challenge:🤦🏾♂ Preach the gospel to fellow youths with zeal.
Prayer: 🙏🏾Dear Lord, help me to be a wise watchman.
Quote:🗣 Be earnest, be watchful, and wise.
