In the verses we read today, God is getting ready to send a warning to the people. He told the people to set up the watchman. A watchman’s duty was to sit at a vantage point over the city, where he could see if any enemies were coming. He was on the lookout for the city and for its people. He was there to warn and to sound the alarm if the enemy was coming.
“Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.” (Ezekiel 3:17) (also see chapter 18)
When God says something to each of us once, that’s very important – of course it is, we have to obey God when He says anything. When God says something twice, we need to sit up and listen. But when God says something three times, we can be absolutely assured of the essential nature of what God is wanting to teach us, and it is so important that we listen to God!
Just as God warned the people of the Bible, He still continues to warn us. There are still ‘watchmen’ on the walls today. Too often our lives are cluttered with so much noise, that we’re unable to hear the ‘horn blow’.
Will you sit quietly today and listen for the warnings? They are all around us. There are many warning signs all around us.
“He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.” (Ezekiel 33:5)
