WATCH.....Just one word but with many meanings. My first impression for 2007 was........ look up to Heaven in the year 2007 for the LORD is drawing nigh. To make it fit into my charismatic friends conversation I tweaked it a little. In the year 2007 He will open the windows of heaven. That sounded close, after all if the LORD is drawing nigh, good stuff is bound to pour down upon us. However, day after day my spiritual bread seemed more on the emphasis of watching , rather than getting all excited about the blessings to come.
You've heard me talk about the voice of truth. My first admonition to watch came quite quietly one morning while waiting on the LORD.
Miriam was a watcher. She had been commanded to watch her baby brother (un-named at the time) as he rocked to and fro in a woven ark his mother had made for him.
Not a big deal, watching. But had she not been watching she might of missed the opportunity of a life time. Can you imagine the courage it would take for a young slave girl to approach the Pharoh's daughter and suggest anything to her ? Oh, but she had been watching, and was aware of the daughter's attitude upon finding this child. Miriam was a watcher, and as it turned out , that was a very important thing to do.
