(Zec 11:15-17)
PRAYING FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, CHURCH & NATION:
May we turn and follow Jesus, the Good Shepherd (Zec 11:15-17). #FollowTheGoodShepherd #ChooseFavorAndUnity
MORNING WATCH NOTES:
HEAR THE PROPHET ZECHARIAH, when he draws a contrast between two shepherds (leaders): the good shepherd who bestows favor and unity upon and between his sheep (vv7–9).
The other is a worthless shepherd that looks like a shepherd, is equipped like one, but he cares little about the sheep (vv15-17).
When a person or nation ignores or point blank rejects the good shepherd-leader, they lose favor and unity (vv10,14). What the people get instead is what they ask for: selfish, greedy and careless shepherds to lead them. The sheep suffer and the worthless shepherds will be sorely judged.
Lord, may I (we in America and in the nations of the world) open our eyes to the lost favor and the disunity among people today. May we turn and follow the Good Shepherd, God our Father, and regain his favor and our unity.
