I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

In the year 2000, on the 23rd day of this month, my wife married me.  So here we are on day 5 of the 20 days that I am going to wish her Happy Anniversary for 20 years of marriage.  Happy Anniversary Darling!

Today, I am reading and commenting on Ezekiel 34-36.

Ezekiel condemned the leaders of Israel who used their position to feed themselves without caring for the people, the sheep, placed under their care.  The same can be said of many of the political and religious leaders of today.  I want to focus on the religious leaders of today.  God’s people have been scattered and become easy prey to those who seek to lead them astray.  No one from the Church has gone out looking for them.  Rather than seek the lost our churches have sought to become places where they will come, but that just makes them susceptible to any pretty face.  Even with the model of God’s Good Shepherd to follow we have failed to seek out His lost sheep in order to bring them home.  God is looking for people who will go seeking His lost sheep, people who will guide others back to Him. Oh Lord show me how to bring your lost sheep back to you!
