But I say amen to what I think your point is The Burden that he saw! A kingdom broken into parties & factions, continually biting & devouring one another, forming division, widening breaches, incensing men against one another. (Chaldeans were laying waste to Isreal) The prophet humbly gives his attendance to God. “I will stand upon my watch, as a sentinel on the walls of a besieged city, or on the borders of an invaded country, that is very solicitous to gain intelligence. I will look up, will look round, will look within, and watch to see what he will say unto me, will listen attentively to the words of his mouth and carefully observe the steps of his providence, that I may not lose the least hint of instruction or direction. I will watch to see what he will say in me” or “what the spirirt of prophecy in me will dictate to me, by way of an answer to my complaints.” Even in a ordinary way, God not only speaks to us by his word, but speaks in us by our own consciences, whispering to us, This is the way, walk in it; and we must attend to the voice of God in both. Those that expect to hear from God must withdraw from the world, and get above it, must raise their attention, fix their thought, study the scriptures, consult experiences and the experienced, continue instant in prayer, and thus set themselves upon the tower. To catch what God is throwing. I am ready to watch and see what God is doing and join in as we see His marvelous plan unfold before us!!!!
