“When you are in camp, at war with your enemies, you are to guard yourself against anything bad.”

“You are not to watch your brother’s ox or sheep straying and behave as if you hadn’t seen it; you must bring it back to your brother.”

Deuteronomy 22:1 CJB

In other words, don’t turn your back on your brother or sister! Don’t fall into the trap that it’s someone else’s job or responsibility. If you see it, hear it or know it, then deal with it! Be in prayer, not in judgment and act on that prayer!

“Evening, morning and noon I will complain and moan; but He hears my voice.”

One of the best ways to be part of what the LORD is doing is to be active in the things happening around us, seeking, praying and acting upon what the LORD is doing! Have a blessed day in prayer and doing the will of the LORD!

“Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death; in this way you will put and end to such wickedness among you, and all Israel will hear about it and be afraid.”

Deuteronomy 21:21 CJB

Not saying we should stone anyone, but we need to remove wickedness from our lives! We really need to take account of what we allow into our lives and into our homes!

“I will not allow before my eyes any shameful thing. I hate those who act crookedly; what they do does not attract me.”

Psalm 101:3 CJB

This needs to be our heart, to not put wickedness before us and hate any wicked thing! We need to remove the things that distract us from the LORD!

“Then, if my people, who bear My name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.”

“Yeshua said to her, I AM the Resurrection and life! Whoever puts his trust in me will live, even if he dies.”

A key to walking with the LORD is to put our trust in Him for everything! The hope is heaven with Him for all eternity, what a great day that will be!

“But I, I trust in You, Adonai; I say, You are my God.”

Psalm 31:14 CJB

When we place all our trust in the LORD, we start to look to the Resurrection life that we have in Him! We focus less on the problems around us and more on the beauty of the LORD our God!

“For my eyes, Adonai, Adonai, are on you; in You I take refuge; don’t pour out my life.”

Jeremiah 31:5 CJB

Today, let’s not only be watchmen, but also be proclaimers of the Good News of the LORD! Have a blessed day sharing and watching!

Shabbat Shalom!
