Ezekiel 34-Daniel 6
Day 253 September 10 - Ezekiel 34, 35, and 36
In chapter 34, the Lord gives us contrasting views of a false shepherds and a faithful shepherd. The children of God are likened as to sheep and sheep always need guidance, sustenance, and at time even deliverance.

It is a wonderful thing to know that we have a ''Great Shepherd'' that is well able to care for us and to oversee our path.

The false shepherds were not helping the diseased, the sick, the broken, nor did they try and gather those that may have been driven away. The children of God were like sheep that were wandering around aimlessly and without a shepherd.

Point to Ponder
We will not have the proper time to discuss the shepherd and his sheep but I think it is one of the most beautiful analogies of God's love for us in the bible. In the New Testament, the Lord says ''I am the Good S ...
