“I said to them, The gates of Yerushalayim are not to be opened until the sun is hot; and while the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut the doors; and you, put up bars. Appoint watchmen from among those living in Yerushalayim; assign each one his time to guard, and have each one serving near his own house.”
Nehemiah 7:3 CJB
The point here is that they were to keep on building the city, but more importantly their own households, but be on guard against any attacks! The same goes for us we are to be watching and alert!
“Stay alert! Be on guard! For you do not know when the time will come.”
Mark 13:33 CJB
Only Adonai knows the day and the hour of His coming and what will happen next in our lives! So we need to stay alert and be on guard at all times! No one knows when Adonai is coming or when the enemy will attack! So don’t get distracted in watching world events, be aware of them, but what we really need to do is be on guard as we watch for Adonai!
“My strength, I will watch for You, for God is my fortress.”
Psalm 59:9 CJB
So let’s be on guard, being aware of our surroundings and watching for Adonai!
Have a blessed day being alert!
