And so, I continue. . .  

SCATTERED SHEEP

That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works. Psalms 26:7

Ezekiel 34:12-13 ~ 12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. 13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. KJV 

The second phrase in verse 12 is one of the greatest promises God could make. By the beginning of sin in the pulpit, people are also drawn away from God and into sin. Yes, we all make our own choices, but when the "leaders of the flock" begin to let standards down, promoting - "little sin" is not to bad philosophy, it will lead to great destruction for many. But there is HOPE! God said, ". . . so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day." 

Christian, have you been drawn into sin? Are you playing around in the worldly things that Satan has tempted you with, and caused you to move you away from God? Clearly God has a plan for each one of us. When we were saved, the next step after baptism and the joining of a good Bible Preaching church is to ground ourselves in the Word of God, prayers, church attendance and Bible reading! When God promised to find us, help us, and return us to our rightful places, He meant it. Allow Him to take FULL control of your life!  You will never regret it, I KNOW! Be blessed today! God Loves YOU!

HE CARES! Do You Know HIM?  Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen.  With love and prayers, may we be your faithful Philippians 2:16 Missionaries?

Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
