David Jeremiah Daily Devotional for Today 18th November 2024
“Who will take the first watch?” We hear that phrase often in films depicting armies or other groups in conflict. The modern word for the person standing guard is sentry; the ancient (biblical) word was watchman. Different words but the same purpose: to provide protection by watching for and warning of the approach of those who would do harm.
In the Old Testament, when cities had walls and gates, the watchmen would stand atop the walls or gates in order to see anyone who approached the city. Watchmen would even patrol the streets of the city during the night (2 Samuel 18:24-27; Song of Solomon 5:7; Isaiah 21:11-12). The psalmist used the image of the watchman to describe God as the true protector of the family (Psalm 127). Unless God stands guard, our best efforts are “in vain.” How do we enlist God to be our family watchman? By prayer, by adhering to His Word, and by clothing our family in the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).
Trust God to protect your family by dedicating each member to Him for His glory.
God’s power is the best guard, the safest convoy, and surest castle that any can have.
William Gouge
