Lent - Day Thirty Seven

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

This is the verse that has created an international movement of people interceding through day and night for the wellbeing of the world.  

The history of the world is like a football match where my side walks confidently onto the pitch only to go down a goal in the first minute.  At half time things are looking pretty bad.  But our coach gives us a rallying call, and then, as 'player-manager', comes onto the pitch themselves.  The team is galvanised, and although badly fowled, with our captains help we come back from the dead. Despair is transformed into victory.  

Quote from Watchman Nee -

“The Spirit is both a builder and a dweller. He cannot dwell where he has not built; He builds to dwell and dwells in only what he has built.”

Question: Am I on the wall?

Prayer: I will praise your name from the rooftops.
