For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so I will seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all the places where they have been scattered… I myself will be the shepherd of the sheep… (Ezekiel 34:11-12, 15)
Remember when you were little and an adult made a promise that he or she didn’t deliver on? Your teacher promised that today the class would go to the playground and then she canceled? Perhaps your parents promised that you would get dessert that night or would go to a movie and then they couldn’t pull it off? You had eagerly anticipated it all day. Remember that frustration and disappointment? Huge bummer, right?… To read the rest of this devotional and all 25 entries, purchase our advent devotional, Longing for Christmas.
