But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to warn the people, he is responsible for their captivity.

“Now, son of man, I am making you a watchman for the people of Israel.

The righteous behavior of righteous people will not save them if they turn to sin, nor will the wicked behavior of wicked people destroy them if they repent and turn from their sins.

Lord God my Father,

Teach me how to live for you, help me to see the enemy before they are close and warn the troops. Keep me from deceit and help me to stay alert.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
