Today we continue to read about the shepherd's heart of God.

    Take some time to meditate on this lengthy passage in Ezekiel 34.  

   EZEKIEL 34:11-16

           " For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself

          will search for my sheep and look after them. As a

           Shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is

           with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue

           them from all the places where they were scattered

           on a day of clouds and darkness. I will bring them out

           from the nations and gather them from the countries,

           and I will bring them into their own land . I will

           pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the

          ravines and in al the settlements in the land. I will

          tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain

          heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they

          will lie down in good grazing land , and there they will

          feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I

          myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down,

         declares the Sovereign Lord . I will search for the lost

         and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured

         and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the

         strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock

         with justice.
