Ezekial 33 : 1-8 Says.... The word of the Lord came to me: 2 "Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: 'When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, 3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, 4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head. 5 Since he heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning, he would have saved himself. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.' 7 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.

Have you every heard the watchman blow the Horn?

I think I was three the first time I heard the air raid siren blow. We had one on th ecorner of our block and when it blew no matter how far I away I was from the house, in seconds I would be holding onto my mama's leg. The sound said "Run Bobbie Lee Run find your mama you are in danger ! Go to Safety Now!" And I ran as far as my chubby Shirley Temple legs would carry me.

I heard it again went I started school. This time my mama was no where to be found, and our teacher said "Duck and Cover!" And we did! Under our desks knowing that if the Enemy had droped a bomb, our desk and our clasped fingers would protect us.

Some disasters come without warning. As a teen ager an earthquake in So. California came without warning and threw me out of bed. Years of preparedness took over and I grabbed my baby sister from her crib and stood holding her safely in the bathroom doorway. After all, the doorframe like the desk will keep us safe.

I heard the Tornado sirens when I was in Labor with my first born. Holding this newly delivered Gift from the hand of God held my gaze more than the twirling trees outside the window. She was born in an operating room because the labor room ceiling was missing. Holding my daughter I waited for the all clear before I placed her in her bassinette.

Yet God has given us a watchman and plenty of warning when it comes to modern day hurricanes. This wasn't always the case. Not long ago The rain came with the wind and you did not know a hurricane had come until it had passed! Our watchman during Hurricane Andrew was Brian Norcross. He said go and some did. We secured our home with the window shutters and the bolt and nut, we were on the safe side of Krome Ave.So we thought this Category 3 ( which became a five) it would be safe to remind; After all, Hurricanes can read street signs and the guide says,Unless it is a Category 5 we are safe.....

Did we stay? No! If You would like to read about what we did, you can go HERE and get a fee E-book of "When The Wind Blows"

The Watchman Still blows his Horn in my life. This year it was a Fire Storm that had us leaving our home. This time it was still standing untouched when we returned.

But it is verses I want to call to your attention are verses 6-7. Today, I am asking God to let me blow the horn. I want to warn you to get out of Gustav's way. I want you to know nothing is worth staying to save in this kind of danger. Stuff does find its way back into your life if it is taken. It did for Job, It will for you. With all my heart I am begging you , for the sake of your family, LEAVE! Hopefully it will be just for a couple of days, But leave! Take what matters most to you and leave. God can handle the rest! If I could add a sound effect siren here I would. EEEEEEEEE! Leave Now.

Many of you know what I am taking about...Please Shout from your walls. Blow Your siren. Sound the Alarm.

If You have a siren or watchman moment to share, please do. Let those around you hear about our God who saves.

And then come by the Hurricane Gustav E-Book Give Away on the Homescool Lounge or here and let the Lord encourage you.

Because of Jesus, Bobbie
