Places on the Way - Lookout Post

This piece of artwork shows, “Gardjola lookout overlooking Valletta, Malta” 

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me” (Ezekiel 3:17).


You call each watchman to their post

To watch and warn and to rebuff

The perils of attacking hosts

That would destroy, make living tough.


You call each sentry, closely view

And listen to the words you voice,

You speak assurance, words so true

That I must heed, there make my choice.


Open my eyes to clearly see

And hear your word just there to be

A watcher of your citadel

And shout with joy, all here is well.


Sin does not leap upon us fully armed. It steals in through a look, a swift, silent suggestion or imagination, but love and loyalty to Jesus will make you watchful and swift to rise up and cast out the subtle enemy. Do this and you shall live, and live victoriously.

Samuel Logan Brengle
