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.
