Night Watchman

The night is silent; indeed, silent as the grave. And the mist beyond the window-panes can only add to the illusion and alude the more. The silence is unbroken.
It is a good night to be a night watchman... to be young Samuel, listening to the voice of the Lord. It is a good night to listen. And so here I sit, watching, listening... readying myself for what end I do not know, only that I must be ready.

It is a good day to be ready. It is a good day to be watchful, to listen... It is a good day to hear the word of the Lord. It is a good day for you. NightWatchmen, Samuels, Brothers and Sisters, awake. Awake and see your king coming! Awake and hear the voice of Him. Look and see; tonight is a good night to see. Look, Listen, Trust... Do not slumber!

In the stillness of night... in the Peace of turmoil.. in the place of suffering, there is your God. There is your God, worthy of all worship, honour and glory. Worthy the Lamb who was slain. Even in this dark night, look! Listen! He who is worthy comes. Watchmen to the high places for he comes, and with him a mighty host of heaven to free the captives. A mighty host of heaven. Do not slumber. Do not sleep.

Watch, Wait, Listen... Obey... Trust and Obey.

[6] This is what the Lord says to me:

“Go, post a lookout and have him report
what he sees. [7] When he sees chariots
with teams of horses, riders on donkeys or
riders on camels, let him be alert, fully alert.”

Isaiah 21:6-7
