Sounding the trumpet

“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.” - Ezekiel 33v6

God uses the trumpet all throughout His word. Sometimes it is talking about good news, sometimes bad news, and sometimes as a herald. In this case God reminded Ezekiel that he had a job to do. After all of the warnings God reminded Ezekiel that he still had to give a warning, to be as the herald and blow the trumpet of warning to the people. Then the people could decide whether or not they were going to respond.

Today we are to sound the trumpet call to warn the people around us. Our trumpet call is to proclaim the word of God of warning. As long as we are really sounding the trumpet can rest assured that we are doing all we can do. Lets be sure that we are sounding out the trumpet call.
