Although Ezekiel saw the glory of God depart from Israel, he also received a promise of hope for those who were forced to leave their country. Even in exile, God’s sanctuary was around them like a tangible cloud of God’s glory and protection. Are you in a place of testing (like Joseph whose character was tested prior to being given a high position). Remember that His sanctuary is a reprieve from the storm. – Teresa #dancewithHim

Ezekiel 11: 16,17 (NLT)

16 “Therefore, tell the exiles, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Although I have scattered you in the countries of the world, I will be a sanctuary to you during your time in exile. 17 I, the Sovereign Lord, will gather you back from the nations where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel once again.”
