A Watchman Who Knows How To Take Responsibility

 On February 18, 1952, about 10 miles (16 km) from the Massachusetts coast, the oil tanker SS Pendleton broke into two during a storm. More than 40 crew members were trapped in the back of the ship, which was sinking in strong winds and fierce waves. When the disaster was announced to the Coast Guards at Chatham, first class Bernie Webber along with 3 other officers rescued rescued 32 crew members who were facing death. Their courageous achievements have been regarded as one of the greatest rescue operation in the U.S. Coast Guard history, and were the subject of the 2016 film, "The Finest Hours." If the courage of the world saves people, watchman who guard souls with the gospel must arise with that same courage.

Those who stay alert and pull guard duty are called “watchmen.” God has called you as that very watchman. Those who constantly receive help from others will find it difficult to reciprocate that help. In fact, help doesn’t necessarily mean providing financial aid. It’s the attitude of your heart that’s truly important. By enjoying the true peace that’s found in the Gospel, you’ll be able to see what God will accomplish. In doing so, you’ll will live with conviction and confidence.

God is with His children; leads them; and answers their prayers. If you know and believe in this fact, you, too, will think about God all day long and be connected to Him through prayer. God also wants His children to open up a great path for His plans come true and to raise a banner for many people to come before the Gospel. When you know your God-given mission and prepare your vessel, God, who has called you as a watchman, will strengthen you.

You are people of God, who are in the covenant to break the waves of darkness in the world and save lives!! I pray for you and I love you. 6/18/2021.
