“What’s the use of telling others about Christ? They won’t listen anyway.” Perhaps we all have felt that way more than once.

Ezekiel worked among some of the most stubborn people that you could imagine, the Jewish exiles in Babylon. It must have been very discouraging to preach to them. Much of his message was gloom and destruction - “the temple would be destroyed; they would not go home to Palestine for a long time.”
God told Ezekiel that a watchman was obligated to blow the trumpet when he saw the enemy approaching. If he warned the people, he was innocent when the city fell. But if he didn’t, the blood of the city was on his head. The watchman could not refuse to blow the trumpet just because he thought they would not pay any attention.
It is our job to blow the trumpet. We want to do all that we can to spread the message of Christ. We must support and encourage those who go to the mission fields.

Let us today pray for God to show us how we can get God’s message out.
