The watchman is a call and command for each follower of Yeshua to more fully engage oneself in a disciplined and discerning mindset and awareness – a moment to look around – a time to walk in the Spirit. Often, in our present day, it is like we’re looking into the “face” of Romans 1:25 – “trading the truth of God for a lie and focusing on earthly things rather than our Creator.” While we need a greater hunger and thirst for what is right and righteous and born of the Spirit; we are stuck with an an appetite that only wants what is forbidden and forewarned – a taste for only what has been born of our flesh. The good news is that we have been given 2025 to turn this around. We have been given a window of reprieve. More later on 2025 as the year of the “window” and it’s relationship to the 5th letter of the Hebrew aleph-bet; “hei” or הִ””. For now let’s focus on the command of Jesus to watch and pray.

The Marriage Journey
Eric and Kristen Fisher share some of their marriage journey. Our lives, our families and marriages are God’s garden. He’s cultivating us in His own time. Instead of trying to impose my will or my timing to my circumstances, what I need to pray for is humility,
Philippians 2:3-5
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.”
Patience, Kindness and Grace
Ephesians 4:1-3
“I, therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.”
Worship God as Savior
When we worship God as Savior, it prioritizes life and defines who we are – children of God, and sinners saved by His merciful, loving, undeserved grace.
Giving Thanks
Why is giving thanks to God important? Because our gratitude and thanksgiving offered in praise carries us into His Presence to worship God in the Holy Place – in His Presence.
“I lift my head to see His face and then behold His Glory, for He is Holy – Our Holy Lord.”
Certainly the Word of God teaches us that the humble offering of thanksgiving is always a blessed time for fellowship between God the Creator in Heaven and we the creation here on earth.
The Sovereignty of God, cont.
With God’s sovereignty comes all power. The biblical term for this is omnipotence and it refers to God’s unconditioned power to do that which He wills to do in accordance with His nature.
We have been learning about God as Creator, and as we said earlier, the Bible unapologetically portrays God as the Lord of both creation and the history of creation. As Christians we know and believe this to be true because all that exists owes its reality, integrity, and continuity to the eternal power of the Word of God which establishes and upholds it.
Shalom – The Peace That Passes Understanding
The peace that God gives us is a much greater gift than most of us realize. The Hebrew word Shalom illustrates the magnitude of His gift to us. It means being well, favor, friend, great, good health, perfect, safe, happy, friendly, welfare, health, prosperity, peace, rest, and safety. But there is more! Every Hebrew letter has a numeric value associated with it. Read more…
Who is God?
“Hesed” is a beautiful Hebrew word that encompasses the many-faceted character of God. Loving, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in mercy…” God describes Himself in Scripture. In learning who God is, we understand who we are and our purpose for life.
Suffering for the Sake of Christ Jesus
It’s not a matter of if, but when. All true Christians will endure suffering for the sake of Christ Jesus, but the overwhelming love of God and His grace turns suffering into joy.
The Christian’s Call to Holiness, cont.
“We have not chosen the wrong path – we have followed the more difficult one. We were chosen for it. It is no longer enough just to be on the right path – circumstances now dictate that we follow the path that leads to righteousness. It is difficult, it is costly, but it is the path. But remember, we were chosen for it. So chosen ones, with the Day of the Lord at hand, use all righteous means possible – be willing to pay any price necessary – to follow the revealed and Holy One – the Kyrios Iesous Christos.”
Core Four – The Call of God’s People to Be Holy
Highly relevant – a Christian’s morality must be defined by the Word of God, and derived from the character of God (Who God Is) as revealed in Scripture, and then ultimately as a way of life for those who find their meaning, purpose, and the way to love in the life and person of Jesus Christ. This is the biblical roadmap to what Peter is asserting to his listeners.
