—Ezekiel 34:11-16
by: Gabrielle Watt.
This amazing passage is all about God calling those who are lost. God said, “I myself will search for my sheep and look after them” (v.11, NIV). It is a comfort to know that God does not simply let us stay lost, but instead He searches for us, calls us, and cares for us. The prophecy was addressing the fact that the Lord would bring Israel back into their own land since they had been scattered in the land of others. And God would punish those who had enslaved Israel. God is loving, merciful, and gracious. He is also just and will govern His people with justice and love.
