Sealed by God

Revelation makes one thing very clear: there is a very visible seal on our forehead if we belong to Christ.

In the Old Testament, priests wore a turban on their heads with a plate on the front that said Holy is the Lord! This was there physical seal that they belonged to Christ. Everyone would see it, whether they acted holy or not.

Now, we are Christ's new priesthood - based on the New Testament. And make no mistake - we have the same seal. It is just a spiritual seal. And God promises that it is very visible to Him, the Devil, and all principalities of light and darkness. There is stamp across our foreheads that says HOLY is the LORD (or something else marking God's ownership of our hearts).

As I think about it, I kind of wish it were actually visible.

I can picture Bree sitting in a car on her first date with a boy, and it says HOLY is the LORD across her forehead. Mood killer?

If people actually saw our seal, wouldn't we be more intentional about our words and actions? You might see a sealed person at the checkout counter screaming at the worker so you walk up and ask, "holy is the Lord?" You have a sealed person harboring unforgiveness so you ask, "holy is the Lord?"

You get it.

So, if you see me with a new tattoo on my forehead, it won't be a complete shock.

Holy is the Lord!
