I Am The Grassroot Watchman

Isaiah 62:6-7

“I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.” Isaiah 62:6-7

This passage is packed with God’s covenant with Israel. It gives us a glimpse of how heavy His heart is for the apple of His eye. It is one of so many from Genesis to Revelation that convey and confirm His plans and purposes to reveal and glorify Himself through His chosen people.Yet remarkably, many Christians compartmentalize the topic of Israel as though it were simply another option on a menu of church programs, leaving it to others to delve into the scripture passages that tell of God’s love for a land and people wrapped in a seemingly complex conflict half a world away. But this passage doesn’t give us that luxury, to be able to choose if we want to be in, or out, of that group of people that are to give themselves no rest over Jerusalem. Not everyone is Called to be one of the watchmen mentioned in the previous passage, but the Lord clearly defines this special category of people that He commands to give Him no rest until He makes Jerusalem the praise of all the earth. . . They who call on the Lord.
