God Protects, Even As He Chastens

 

Today's verse is Ezekiel 11:16

Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come. 

    Know now that the above verse is a Promise that the Lord God Most High has given to Israel, his chosen people, as they wander in other lands not their own, till God restores to them, not just their land, but to their central place as God’s people, as his ambassadors to the whole earth. But now we also who have learned of Jesus Christ, and have been sealed by his Spirit, but for one reason or another (for the flesh is weak) have turned aside, even as we experience the chastening hand of God upon us (proof that he loves us, and has not forsaken us,) he keeps us (believe it or not) whole, though our whole world falls apart around us, in his sheltering hands. If you find yourself in such a state, do not despair, but first examine yourself, do you truly know him, does he know you? IF not, come to him now, but if so, Repent, and confess your sin to him, has he not promised, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgives us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Even has he has promised to restore Israel, and will do it, so will he restore you, that you will once again Glorify your God, and enjoy it. Amen.

To God be the Glory
