Some thought from this saturday in the evening sometime.
The book of Isaiah, particularly the 62nd chapter, appeals to me because of its call to action. God says that he wants watchmen put in place to give no one rest until God’s kingdom is restored in its glory. As Christians we are those watchmen. How often do we forget our duty to keep all of God’s people in prayer and uplift those believers around us? Christians have a specific duty to make the highway straight and clear it of stones (again from chapter 62). It says that God wants to delight in us as a bridegroom over his bride. As I am not married, nor will be in the foreseeable future, I can only imagine. I know from what I’ve seen at weddings that the pride that the bridegroom feels about his bride is truly spectacular. If you are a Christian begin serving the church and serving others. Invite your Christian friends with few connections to believers to get involved. Let them know that you love them; you cannot simply let them go through life without reaching and taking them with you. They are your brethren (and sestren? I have no idea what the word would be), keep them close and remember that you are here to build the kingdom of God and that doesn’t mean packing them in at altar calls though that is important. It is a comprehensive duty to build yourself and the people around you.
