“Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of Adonai: As I live, Adonai Elohim swears, because My sheep have become prey, My sheep have become food for every wild animal, since there was no shepherd, since My shepherds didn’t look for My sheep, and instead My shepherds fed themselves but not My sheep.”
Ezekiel 34:7-8 CJB
This isn’t only talking about false shepherds, but shepherds who care more for themselves than their flocks! God is going to deal harshly with those who take, especially the ones who are truly called to feed His sheep, but fleece them instead!
“Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of Adonai! Adonai Elohim says, I am against the shepherds. I demand that they hand my sheep back to Me. I will not allow them to feed the sheep, and they won’t feed themselves either. I will rescue My sheep from their mouths; they will be food for them no longer.”
Ezekiel 34:9-10 CJB
Shepherds who are called to shepherd God’s people (His sheep), should know the difference between fleecing and feeding! The sad thing is there are so many so–called shepherds out their who are fleecing! We all need to be on guard to know the difference!
“Look out for each other’s interests and not just your own.”
Philippians 2:4 CJB
We really need to be more concerned with other people than our own personal interests! Salvation should be our priorities and seeing people repent!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
