REBUILDING WATCH-FULLNESS

Watch-fullness

New Living Translation Chapter 7

After the wall was finished and I had set up the doors in the gates, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed. 2 I gave the responsibility of governing Jerusalem to my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah, the commander of the fortress, for he was a faithful man who feared God more than most. 3 I said to them, “Do not leave the gates open during the hottest part of the day.* And even while the gatekeepers are on duty, have them shut and bar the doors. Appoint the residents of Jerusalem to act as guards, everyone on a regular watch. Some will serve at sentry posts and some in front of their own homes.”

One of the ways God protects you as his child is by giving you the ability to make wise choices.

We cant complain that God did not protect us if we did not head to his word.
