I have appointed watchmen on your walls; They will never be silent, day or night. You who remind The Lord, no rest for you! Do not give Him rest until He establishes and makes her, Jerusalem the praise of the earth.
Isaiah 62:6-7
Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching and you will find. Keep knocking and the door will be opened to you. For EVERYONE who asks receives, the one who searches finds and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. What man among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
Matthew 7:7-12
No rest for you and I as we remind Him who never forgets, slumbers or sleeps to keep His promise to us, His Jerusalem . In reminding Him to keep His promise, you prove yourself to be His child and His responsibility, by knowing your heritage, His promise to you. He ends this with the Golden Rule, treating others the way you want to be treated. I remember a reporter asking a woman who was looting and inciting others to follow her example in Ferguson, Mo, "Who told you to do this?" She responded, "Jesus did." God tells us plainly, "People without discernment are doomed. My people are bent on turning from Me, though they call to Him on high, He will not exalt them at all." This is why we are reminded that EVERY TREE is known by the fruit it bears. Prove your lineage and your heritage by your words and your actions. Then your reminding, asking, seeking and knocking will not offend you or be offensive to Him. If you are one of His children, He will be delighted to give His good gifts to you when you ask and you will not be offended.
Hosea 11:7, Luke 7:23
"We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone. I've always believed that a lot of the trouble in the world would disappear if were talking to each other instead of about each other. Never let the things you can't do stop you from doing what you can. We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added."
Ronald Reagan
