His name shall be in their foreheads

Daily Light Devotions - March 18 - Evening

His name shall be in their foreheads.

They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 1

I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 2

But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity." 3

The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him. 4

saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads." 5

In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. 6

And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. 7

The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. 8

In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the name by which it will be called: 'The LORD is our righteousness.' 9
