Today's meditation is taken from:
ONE FLOCK, ONE SHEPHERD

"Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I
will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from
feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any
more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not
be meat for them" (Ezekiel 34:10)
Let me ask you this question: what do you think the Lord will do to
an undershepherd who rules the Lord's flock with cruelty, abuses the
sheep, scatters them in all directions, and lets the enemy come in to
tear them apart? Will the Lord just shrug His shoulders, or will He
visit that undershepherd and avenge the sheep? It is such a holy
trust. We must tread lightly with the sheep and minister to them in
fear and trembling. We dare not entertain thoughts of doing as we
please with the Lord's possession. It is not a frivolous thing.
