Week 33 - Day 5

Ezekiel 9-12; Psalm 121

*Click here to read these passages:

“My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—He who watches over you will not slumber.” (Psalm 121:2-3)

It is very comforting to know that God does not sleep, and He does not fail.  He does not come and go.  He is there.

“The Lord will keep you from all harm—He will watch over your life.
The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” (Psalm 121:7-8)

To those who put their trust in Him, He will be with and watch over for forever.  He knows our hearts and our sincerity.  In Ezekiel chapter 9 God, who is about to send judgment, knows that there are some who were grieved about the detestable things going on in their city, and He calls to a man clothed in linen to go throughout Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those people.  God said that those with the mark would not be touched.  He would keep them from harm and watch over their lives. 

This scene is very much like the Passover before the exodus from Egypt (Exodus 12) and is also like what Jesus does for us.  When we believe in Him He marks us as His own.  He is where our help comes from.  He watches over us both now and forevermore.
