Ezekiel 34:12 When Pastor Warren heard that a man in his church had deserted his wife and family, he asked God to help him meet the man as if by accident so they could chat. And He did! When Warren walked into a restaurant, he spotted the gentleman in a nearby booth. āGot some room for another hungry man?ā he asked, and soon they were sharing deeply and praying together. As a pastor, Warren was acting as a shepherd for those in his church community, even as God through the prophet Ezekiel said He would tend His flock. God promised to look after His scattered sheep, rescuing them and gathering them together (Ezekiel 34:12ā13). He would ātend them in a good pastureā and āsearch for the lost and bring back the straysā; He would ābind up the injured and strengthen the weakā (vv. 14ā16). Godās love for His people reverberates through each of these images. Though Ezekielās words anticipate Godās future actions, they reflect the eternal heart of the God and Shepherd who would one day reveal Himself in Jesus. No matter our situation, God reaches out to each of us, seeking to rescue us and sheltering us in a rich pasture. He longs for us to follow the Good Shepherd, He who lays down His life for His sheep (see John 10:14ā15). āAMY BOUCHER PYE How does Jesus, the Good Shepherd, care for you? How could you offer Him any wounds that need tending or weakness youād like strengthened? Dear God, You love me even when I go astray and wander. Help me to stay always in Your sheepfold, that I might receive Your love and care. #TheGoodSheperd #GoodSheperd #OurDailyBread #DailyDevotional #VerseOfTheDay #FollowGod #JesusIsKing #DailyDevotionals #DailyBibleVerse #TheGospel #Bible #DailyQuotes #DailyInspiration #DailyDevotion #DailyScripture #DevotionTime #DevotionOfTheDay #ChristianWalk #PraiseGod #JesusLord #GodIsGood #TheLordSheltersMe https://www.instagram.com/p/CoXOKHUri8V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
