Ezekiel 34:15-16

Throughout the ages God has taken care of those who place their lives into His loving hands. Neither life and its trials nor Satan and his evil can keep God’s children separated from Him who created them from the womb. We are safe and protected in Him through the power of the Holy Spirit and the blood of Jesus Christ.

The leaders of Israel had failed to lead properly. They had used their positions of power to their own advantage and to the disadvantage of the people.  It speaks of the future day of deliverance when God will seek out His sheep. Israel, though guilty and misguided, would eventually be rescued by the divine Good Shepherd and restored to the Promised Land.

Ezekiel 34:15-16

15 I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord God. 16 “I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong, and feed them in judgment.”
