I sat at the park the other day to spend some time with the Lord and as I was sitting there I started asking Him questions. One of the questions that have been stirring my heart for a while now was all the children. Children have been coming up a lot this month for me. I asked the Lord where all the children are. Where are they Lord? How come I walk down this busy street and they are not around? And where are they? Are they safe somewhere or are they in their homes with their mothers? Sometimes I just get so tired and exhausted and I just cry out to God to pick me up and help me move forward. I’m reading Ezekiel this month and as I’m reading this in the park I get to this scripture that just stung my heart.
Ezekiel 14:12-18
The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, if a country sins against me by being unfaithful and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its mean and their animals, even if these three men- Noah, Daniel and Job – were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign Lord.”
“Or if I send wild beasts through that country and they leave it childless and it becomes desolate so that no one can pass through it because of the beasts, as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, even if these three men were in it, they could not save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved, but the land would desolate.
“or if I bring a sword against that country and say, ‘let the sword pass thought the land.’ And I kill its men and their animals, as surely as I live declare the Sovereign Lord, even if these three men were in it, they could not save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved.
I sat there at the park in a daze and thought wow!!! This is pretty black and white and we are here all over the world to come and give what God has brought us to come and give, but its all in the Lords hands and we can only be the masters precious feet and hands to do what He has called us to do and the rest is up to the Lord. I love it when the Lord just answers everything when things always seem to get confusing.
I’m leaning that our Lord knows best and these children are protected by Him.
