Ezekiel 34:25-31

Satan does his best to enslave us....his biggest tool is complacency. If he can get us to be satisfied with just being attendees at our Churches we will never seek the relationship with God that He offers us through Jesus Christ. We need to expect more than what a Church can give and seek a deeply personal walk with our Father who loves us. God finds everyone who seeks Him!! With Him and in the unity of the Holy Spirit....you have everything you will ever need :)

The exiles were encouraged through this promise of a covenant of peace, characterized by these promises: (1) security from foreign aggressor nations (2) showers of blessing, meaning productivity and prosperity; and (3) the certainty that the Lord is Israel’s God. He desires reunion with His people and a lasting relationship built on a new covenant.

Ezekiel 34:25-31

²⁵ “I will make a covenant of peace with them, and cause wild beasts to cease from the land; and they will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. ²⁶ I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing. ²⁷ Then the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them. ²⁸ And they shall no longer be a prey for the nations, nor shall beasts of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and no one shall make them afraid. ²⁹ I will raise up for them a garden of renown, and they shall no longer be consumed with hunger in the land, nor bear the shame of the Gentiles anymore. ³⁰ Thus they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are My people,” says the Lord God.’ ” 
³¹ “You are My flock, the flock of My pasture; you are men, and I am your God,” says the Lord God.
