Daily Thoughts 8-17-2016 Ezekiel 34:2

Ezekiel 34:2

"Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to those shepherds, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Woe, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock?"
‭‭
Are you a shepherd?  Are you here to be served or to serve?  I have noticed a common trait among some, the world revolves around them.  They see others as a means to an end.  The others well being isn't their concern but how they can benefit from them in someway.  

Someone who is genuinely concerned about the other person are much happier.  The bumps along the way don't seem to bother them as much.  Good things seem to come their way.  So you can see how this verse does speak to us at least in the way I am perceiving it this morning.   Bring joy to those around you, have their best interest at heart, not yours.   

Dear Heavenly Father, help us see how we are to shepherd those we come in contact with.  I thank You for  sending Your Holy Spirit to shepherd us each day.  I ask for Your protection with our families and our loved ones.  Bring joy into their lives Lord God.   In your most holy name, Jesus, Amen.  Mary, Mother of Good Counsel, pray for us.
