Scripture: Ezekiel 34: 1-2, 6

The word of the Lord came to me: Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who only take care of themselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.

Scripture Commentary: God is the shepherd who cares for his flock

God promises to take over as shepherd of his scattered flock. When our leader fails us, we must not despair but remember that God is in control. He promises to return and care for his flock.

Know that you can turn to God for help. He can transform any tragic situation to produce good for his kingdom. In hard times it’s easy to forget that God is in control and looking out for us. Let this scripture remind you that he sees our pain. You can always call on him and he will come to care for you.

God’s love for us is boundless, and our love for God should also be boundless.
