Scattered Sheep
All the times in my life where I feel I have been absent from God are where I can confirm I have betrayed Him.
Just as Peter denied Christ at the time when his own life was at stake, often when confronted with fear despair and the unknown we fall back into comforts and attempt to protect ourselves.
Vulnerable Sheep
God knows this about us and understands we are vulnerable to temptation.
We are often in our lives vulnerable to the temptations we have set for ourselves.
Zechariah ministered during the restoration period after the exile of the Israelites.
During this time the people of Israel were vulnerable to attacks and were not at the height of power as when David or Solomon were king.
When a country is vulnerable they will make alliances with others to protect themselves.
How often does this compromise get Israel into trouble?
How did that work against Peter when he was offered the ability to prophecy to who was being crucified?
When we are vulnerable or in fear, our temptation is to protect our family and ourselves.
When do we realize we have strayed away from our protector because we are incapable of protecting ourselves?
Are You among the Scattered?
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
You may say that you would stand up to the Romans during the crucifixion or that you would stand up to the religious leaders but when confronted with your own life, will you prophesy the words of God about the true Shepherd?
The scattered sheep are the ones who were once following the Shepherd.
You cannot be scattered from the Shepherd if you were not once near to Him.
The great apostasy spoken of is coming.
When confronted by others of whom you are following will you stand firm for your faith?
Bring in the Sheep
God declares that He will bring a remnant through the fire to be tested and refined.
Why does God lead us through this fire?
Through the testing only does a free willed person truly show their hearts content.
When we knew we were fallen away from God, we searched for His grace.
We searched for a way back to His love and understanding.
God’s message is for the world.
He knows there will be many who turn away from that message.
But for those who stay the course and return their mouths and utterances to serving God, He refines them to be the image of His son, Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the true Shepherd.
