Psalm 121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Do you ever get the feeling that you are not getting anywhere?

If you are in God’s will He will not allow any outside force to move you from His will. That doesn’t mean you cannot choose to walk outside His will but why would you?

Psalm 121:7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

Being in His will has a preservation promise. The sign for understanding the boundaries of His will are not marked on map. They are measured in the peace of God.

Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

As you begin to approach the boundaries of God’s will you will start losing that perfect peace. Some might want to call this a good conscience but I do not. The good conscience is meant to keep you from sinning and stays with you even if you are not in God’s will at the moment.

Those of you that have been in a healthy loving relationship with your spouse might understand this better. You can sense when things are not right with your spouse even though words have not been exchange. It is in the loving relationship that peace is kept and guarded.

This is why it is all important to nurture and protect your loving relationship with God. If you feel that perfect peace has shifted, know it was not God nor the enemy that caused it, but you by yourself.

Isaiah 2:1-3 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Men are set in the High Towers to keep watch and report what they have seen. In this there are two types of watchers, far sighted and near sighted. The far sighted can only see the glorious end and has no vision of what it took to get there. The near sighted only sees the immediate danger and has no vision of how to deal with the calamity that is about to befall them.

Both are need and here is the real answer to the watchers on the wall, they are not in charge of the events that occur to get from the short term to the long term. We need both for different reasons. The far sighted vision is to encourage us that all that we will have to go thru will be well worth the effort. The near sighted vision tells us of our immediate dangers and warns us not to ignore them less we should make the battle longer and more costly than necessary.

Neither should be allowed to have a say in what to do with what is seen. As a visionary it is hard to report and walk away but that is the job we are given. So often we will want to do more, to give advice, to offer up a solution without the depth of understanding of the problems that are not within our field of vision. It is our responsibility to report what is seen and then get back to the watch.
