Reading: 1 Timothy 2, Ezekiel 33-34, and Psalm 114
Scripture: Ezekiel 34:16, “I will seek the lost, and I will
bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen
the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them in
justice.”
Observation: Though out this chapter God had been speaking
to Ezekiel and he comes to this part where he is saying you are supposed to be
the shepherd and as the shepherd they were to keep the sheep from harm, feed
them and find the ones that wander off. Then he jumps in as says how horrible
of job they were doing and if they didn’t straiten up and do what they were
called to do that he would destroy them. Then comes verse 16 saying this is how
I will take care of those who have wandered off.
Application: Just as Israel was walking away from the
calling and the promises they made to God, we have a tendency to stray from our
calling, as the Body of Christ we are called to be the shepherd, we each have
our giftings and talents that God will use, being we are all members of the
same body with different functions, some our out seeking the lost, others are
bringing back the strayed, some are healing the injured wail others strengthen
the weak. We each have a job within our job as a shepherd. Find the job that
God has called you to and bless others through that job.
Prayer: Lord Thank you for another day in your wonderful
world, I thank you for the wonders you have shown me and allowed me to experience.
Lord I ask you to share your wonders with everyone and help them to see you in
them. I also ask for direction in where and how to serve, how to do my part in
being a shepherd.
