We are doing this for the 500th time.
Today marks the 500th time we shall be “Watching the World” in as many days. Looking at and paying attention to the world around us in order to direct it in the direction that God desires. Accepting our Lord Jesus’ call to be the salt and light of the earth. How is everything going so far? Slow and steady. As it should. While we pray and hope for immediate changes in our situation, the truth is that some things simply must take time.
Our world did not become insane overnight, and it will not return to the light overnight. Christian ideas have shaped the world for centuries, but they are now under attack from secularism and other ideologies. The issue with gradual change is its persistent, resilient, and subtle nature. It sneaks up on us, seeping into our lives unnoticed. As it is written, “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little” (Isaiah 28:10). Do not, for a moment, underestimate the long-term impact of your efforts. Regardless of your humble beginnings.
With every devotional, post, meme, video, book, prayer, and event, we can gradually address the corruption and lust that is consuming the world. Through this incremental effort, we will be able to make a difference. As we embrace our responsibility as the light of the world, we will persistently uphold and defend the faith we profess. Is the continuous dripping getting to you? It’s been 500 days, are you feeling thoroughly soaked by now?
Thank you for setting a watch over your faith, home, and work. Thank you for setting a watch over your city. Furthermore, thank you for being an active participant in this movement.
