A "Mark" to be Spared!

"Then the Lord called to the man clothed in linen who had a writing kit and said to him 'Go through out the city and put a mark on the foreheads of those who lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.' When the destruction came they were spared"
Ezekiel 9:4,5

We are familiar with many different marks of identifications these days, mainly to prevent cheating. Thousands of years ago God spoke of marks for a different reason.

What are we doing about the shocking things we see and hear today, in all walks of life, even in religious organizations? Disgraceful behavior in the name of freedom and new philosophies that shake the foundational truth and values which were held in high esteem, cause pain to many.
We could ignore, criticize, condemn, talk about it or cry to God to have mercy on them, change them and save them from the consequences.

God is pleased with those who intercede. He will mark them and show His favor to them on the day of judgment.
May you and I be marked as an "Interceder"!
