"At times the Lord may seem to have forgotten the perils of His church and the injury done her by her enemies. But God has not forgotten. Nothing in this world is so dear to the heart of God as His church. It is not His will that worldly policy shall corrupt her record. He does not leave His people to be overcome by Satan's temptations. He will punish those who misrepresent Him, but He will be gracious to all who sincerely repent. To those who call upon Him for strength for the development of Christian character, He will give all needed help. PK 590.1"
"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me."
Both passages emphasize God's unwavering care and remembrance of His people, even when it may seem otherwise. Isaiah 49:15-16 uses the powerful imagery of a mother's love and God engraving His people on His hands to illustrate this point, while the EGW passage assures that God has not forgotten His church and will provide help to those who seek Him.
"In the time of the end the people of God will sigh and cry for the abominations done in the land. With tears they will warn the wicked of their danger in trampling upon the divine law, and with unutterable sorrow they will humble themselves before the Lord in penitence. The wicked will mock their sorrow and ridicule their solemn appeals. But the anguish and humiliation of God's people is unmistakable evidence that they are regaining the strength and nobility of character lost in consequence of sin. It is because they are drawing nearer to Christ, because their eyes are fixed on His perfect purity, that they discern so clearly the exceeding sinfulness of sin. Meekness and lowliness are the conditions of success and victory. A crown of glory awaits those who bow at the foot of the cross. PK 590.2"
"And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof."
The EGW passage directly references the concept of sighing and crying for abominations, which is the central theme of Ezekiel 9:4. The connection is clear and intentional.
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise."
Both passages emphasize humility, brokenness, and repentance before God. The EGW passage expands on the outward manifestations and consequences of this inward state, while the Psalm focuses on the value of a contrite heart to God.
"God's children be opened as were the eyes of Elisha's servant at Dothan, they would see angels of God encamped about them, holding in check the hosts of darkness. PK 590.3"
"And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."
The EGW passage explicitly refers to the story of Elisha's servant and the opening of his eyes to see the angels. This is a direct and clear allusion.
"The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them."
Both passages speak of angelic protection surrounding those who fear God. The EGW passage uses the Elisha story as an example, while the Psalm provides a general statement of this protection.
