In the vision of the prophet Ezekiel there was the appearance of a hand beneath the wings of the cherubim. This is to teach God's servants that it is divine power that gives success. Those whom God employs as His messengers are not to feel that His work is dependent on them. Finite beings are not left to carry this burden of responsibility. He who slumbers not, who is continually at work for the accomplishment of His designs, will carry forward His work. He will thwart the purposes of wicked men and will bring to confusion the counsels of those who plot mischief against His people. He who is the King, the Lord of hosts, sitteth between the cherubim, and amidst the strife and tumult of nations. He guards His children still. When the strongholds of kings shall be overthrown, when the arrows of wrath shall strike through the hearts of His enemies, His people will be safe in His hands.

I profeten Ezekiels syn var der noget ligesom menneskehænder under kerubernes vinger. Guds tjenere skal lære heraf, at det er Guds kraft, der bringer fremgang. De skal ikke føle, at Guds værk er afhængigt af dem. Det er ikke overladt til svage mennesker at bære dette store ansvar, Guds værk vil blive ledet af ham, som ikke slumrer, men bestandig arbejder for at fuldbyrde sin vilje. Han vil krydse onde menneskers planer og bringe forvirring blandt dem, som pønser på at gøre hans folk fortræd, Den store Konge, Hærskarers Herre, troner mellem keruberne, og han beskytter stadig sit folk midt i den strid og uro, som råder mellem nationerne. Hans folk er trygt i hans hænder, når kongers fæstninger styrter omkuld og vredens pile gennemborer hans fjenders hjerte.
