“Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.” (v.16)
BANISHED does not mean removed from grace, or from God. God is to His people a place of refuge. They find sanctuary with Him from every adversary. He is our place of worship too. He is with us as He was with Jacob when he slept in the open field, and rising, said, “Surely God was in this place.”
We can find sanctuary in God wherever we are and under any circumstances. Currently we are restricted from gathering together in our churches due to COVID-19, but God is still with us. His work is not limited to a building, for where two or more are gathered together in His name, He is there. When we are alone, worshipping and praying, He is there. God's dwelling place is in our heart, and through His Spirit we find sanctuary for our souls.
In God we find the shrine of holiness and of communion. What more do we need?" - Spurgeon
O Lord, fulfill this promise and ever be to us, "a little sanctuary!" Amen.
