Over the past few weeks I have been reading and re-reading Ezekiel 34.
Did you know that God cares about you more than people do? More than the closest person to you does?
He says "I myself will search for my sheep and look after them"... God SEEKS us out, he is stalking us, on the look for us and searching us out. He is pursueing us.
Have you ever been in an upset state and run off from somewhere and someone has run off after you to find you and look after you? God does that too. He is tugging on our heart and if we would only still ourselves we would realise that God is there looking after us wanting to be with us.
He also says "I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkenss" He wants to be that person that rescues us from pain and hurt. He wants and desires to bring us in close to him. He doesn't want us scattered and lost like a lost sheep. He wants us close with the other sheep and close and under the care of the sheppard. The ultimate sheppard. God.
He desires us to be close to him, safe in his care and protection.
We have to let him be close to us. We can run away from his protection, run away from his care, run away from his guidance but we have to position ourselves close to him so that we can recieve his love, care, protection and guidance.
