The Jackals are at the Gate by Jacqueline and Marcel Bruff

Good day Beloved

he Jackals Are at the Gate”

(February 10th)

Jackals thrive in desolate places, scavenging and feeding on what's been abandoned or destroyed.

The image of jackals at the gate is a biblical metaphor, depicting scenes of desolation and ruin. In Nehemiah 2:13, the prophet encounters the broken walls of Jerusalem, where jackals roam, symbolizing the city's vulnerability and spiritual decay.

Their presence near the gate signifies that even the city's defenses are overrun, indicating total collapse or spiritual decay, jackals' presence highlights the city's exposure to danger, lacking protection and strength.

This is a warning of consequences when God's people stray from His ways, leading to moral and spiritual decay.

-Self-Reflection. Are there areas in our lives where we've allowed "jackals" to roam, indicating spiritual decay?

Repentance and Renewal.

Turn back to God, seeking His strength and protection.

- Stay alert, knowing the enemy seeks to exploit vulnerabilities.

Dear heavenly Father,

We acknowledge the "jackals" that threaten our spiritual lives and communities. Grant us discernment to identify areas of decay, and courage to repent and renew our commitment to You. Protect us from spiritual collapse, and empower us to stand firm in faith. May Your presence be our defense, and Your Word our guide. Amen.

Marcel and Jackie Bruff
