Watchman’s Daily Devotional: Exercise Self-Control. Exercising Discipline Is a Result of Spiritual Growth. May the Fruit of Your Labor Come to Fruition in Your Life. Once You Understand the Significant Tasks That Are Meant for You, You Will Feel Motivated To Be Disciplined in How You Prepare for Them
1 Peter 1:13-16 13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."
Thanks to the God plan of salvation through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, get ready to take action! If someone put in so much effort to rescue you, there must be a purpose for you. Certainly, establishing a connection with you is His primary focus, but this connection leads to tangible outcomes. Get ready to prepare your mind for the mission of spreading God teachings throughout the world.
Exercise self-discipline. Exercising restraint is a result of spiritual guidance. May the fruit of your labor come to full maturity in your life. Once you understand the significant tasks that are meant for you, you will feel motivated to be disciplined in your preparation for them. We are not just working for a worldly kingdom, but for the ultimate king. Pull yourself together! Quit messing around. This is no laughing matter. Previously, we followed our sinful desires. There's no chance for that anymore.
Place your hope on the grace that will be abundantly given to you when Jesus appears in glory. With a focus on the future, strive to live a righteous life. That signifies a life dedicated to His intentions. He is the ultimate authority. He is considered sacred, and that is why we should strive for purity in all our actions. Strive to maintain purity in your thoughts and how you use your time. Strive to be pure in your desires and goals. He deserves that response.
Reflect on whether your thoughts and self-discipline align with the significant purpose you have in your faith.
Living life on purpose is a good choice. It means not living life randomly, but with positive intentional. Christ-followers can live more satisfying, God-honoring lives as they define purpose biblically, and as they discover God’s plans for their lives.
Pray: Dear God, I come to You today seeking an increase in my faith. I know that You are always with me, but sometimes I struggle to trust in Your plan and Your love. Please give me the strength to have faith in Your promises and to know that You are working all things out for my good. Help me to trust in Your goodness and Your grace, and to have confidence in Your love for me. I pray for Your guidance and direction, and ask for Your blessings on my life. Amen.

The Watchman
In the Bible, the Watchman is responsible for keeping watch and warning others of potential danger or impending judgment. The role is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Ezekiel. In Ezekiel 33:6, God says to the prophet Ezekiel, "But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand."
