Appointed as watchman

"You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me say anything, you shall warn them for me." (Ezekiel 33: 7 – 9)

What if I know for certain that God has appointed me as watchman over His word in a particular situation today? I would ask God for two critical graces:

• Complete freedom from fear
  
• Plenty of courage
  

Our fears hold us back from our full potential. Freedom from fear and courage are critical requirements of the disciple who desires to serve God unencumbered by the fear of man.
