Pastor's Monday Meditations: The Watch of the Lord – in 2 Chronicles 23:6, instructions were given by Jehoida the priest to Judah regarding the coronation of Joash to be king. Athaliah had usurped the throne and Jehoida felt his call to restore the rightful king. In doing so, he orchestrated a well-organized plan to guard the king from the wicked queen. His instructions to the people were to “keep the watch,” that is, guard the temple and courtyard. How often do we need to “keep a watch” as well from our enemies the world, the flesh and the devil. How many times does flesh rear its ugly head and want to say or do something that would not be right. Let’s take the admonition from Ps 141:3 “Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.” Make sure that our flesh, and particularly our tongue is well guarded!
