Today’s Scripture: I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them in justice. Ezekiel 34:16 ESV
“So will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day.” Ezekiel 34:12(NKJV)
I AM thankful that God did and does continue to seek me when I scatter on my cloudy and darkest days.
In 34:27 God says: “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.” (NKJV)
Like His children of Israel. God promises to take us back to the land He has for us. We will know the He is our God and we are His people.
Do you believe that God will find you when you scatter to dark places? Do believe God found us so we may now help those who are lost?
Today’s Prayer: LORD God, thank You for finding me. I am thankful that when we are too weak to find You that You are seeking us. LORD, use me to find the lost and feed, strengthen and help them. Open my eyes and break my heart to give to others what You have so generously given me. Amen

Tom, this one made me cry. Once, our little blind cat got outside and we didn’t know it right away. We searched and searched the neighborhood for her. Posted pictures and our phone number on everyone’s door and all the telephone posts. We were sick. Four days later, a neighbor found her 3 houses down from us. And He shared with me that how I felt about that little cat being lost . . that is a glimpse of how He feels about the lost. Thank you and God bless you for reminding me again.
Deb, thank you for sharing this story. The Holy Spirit does fill us with tears as we catch a glimpse of the love God has for us! I am so thankful He seeks us even when we are blind and lost along our way! LORD we praise you and I thank You for Deb’s heart for the lost!
