Sealed to Serve and Sing

Ezekiel I7-19; Revelation 7 

“Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God…’Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.’”

Revelation 7:2, 3

It is the Holy Spirit indwelling those who know the Lord that is the seal of our salvation (Ephesians 1:13, 14). We have been set apart for God’s glory, not our own. We have been sealed for the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30). In the last day judgments of God on the land, the seas, and the trees, it is the seal of God on the foreheads of those who belong to him which protects us. This seal is visible in the angelic realm. The presence of the Holy Spirit within us reflects the glory of God and is light in the spiritual darkness of this world. As those who walk with the living God we have nothing to fear but everything to give. We offer the story of salvation to those whom God brings to us. We sing his salvation song to the nations until every people group is represented before the throne of God. We have been sealed to serve and to sing!

“Lord Jesus, you are my salvation and your Spirit has sealed and set me apart for your glory.”
