The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. Then they will know that I am the Lord. God thank you for giving us a clean heart. I trust him because he is where the Joy is. 🙏🏽
My God shot came from Ezekiel 34: 11-16. The Lord gives a promise to those who are His people. He promises to seek out His sheep and bring them home. He will care for them and feed them. What a beautiful reflection of our Good Shepherd. He pulls us back into His fold, forgives our sins, cleanses all of our unrighteousness, and we become children of God. What an awesome God we serve!
What hope for all of us!
Yes Yawhe is our blessed hope. Jesus Christ is our savior 🙏 🙌
God is our "Good Shepherd"! Amen!!!!!❤
"I had approximately 1 million God shots today" LOVE that! TLC was on fire speaking to my heart with so many great insights! God continue to bless TLC and this ministry, and help us all to love You more🙏
My God Shot today is Ezekiel 36:26 I thank God for taking Out a heart of stone and putting in a heart of flesh and putting in a new spirit I thank him for changing my heart ❤️ good morning Bible family Hope you have a blessed day in His Presence 🙏❤️🤗
Yes, one of my favorite verses.
Can’t believe it’s been 250 days of looking forward to reading His word every morning this year. Cannot thank you enough for this . I’m 65 and all day long get reminders of what I read in the morning. So awesome❤️
Happy day 250, my friends! 🎉
This is my second year reading through the Bible with Tara-Leigh and the Bible Recap team. I'm so grateful that His word is alive and active, that its never changing, and that His promises are so evident on these pages. I love His faithfulness and how much He loves us. I love that He is so devoted to the hearts of His creation.
Father, God. You tell us to ask! Just to ask. Forgive me when I am too stubborn to ask. Forgive me when I forget to ask. I struggle with my emotions and my fickle heart. I go wayward and wonder what happened. Remind me to seek you first, YOU! The kingdom of God, your righteousness! It is YOU and you alone who can change my heart and renew a right spirit within me. Cause me to walk in Your ways and obey your rules. I can rest assured that You are actively engaged in driving out fear- but guide me and remind me! I am SO forgetful! Write my story. Fill my pages with heart change and obedience to You. I worship YOU. It was never meant for you to worship ME. Let me lift your name on high and sing your praises for all to hear. Let it be a sweet song in your ear.
Thank you, Father, for today. Another chance to try and show Your love to others better than I did yesterday.
Praise you, Father. In Jesus' Holy and mighty name I lift these heart cries up to you, Amen.
Amen to your beautiful prayer ❤
This is my 2nd year with the Bible Recap too!
Amen!❤
Amen to this beautiful heart felt prayer!
Amen 🙏🏻❤️ My Second year as well😊
Amen
I’m a 68 year old school bus driver and yesterday I had to get onto some girls for standing while I was driving and I was too harsh. Gotta apologize today for my tone. I love and care for these young people. I’m so glad that God isn’t harsh with us. Firm, but kind. Y’all pray for me. Thanks
Praying for you
You were harsh because you are looking out for them and worry and care for your flock on the bus. God is sometimes harsh with us but He also does it for a reason and He also shows His love and caring. They will appreciate your caring words. By the way, be glad back in the day I wasn't on your bus. My girlfriend and I drove our female bus driver insane! She even separated us many times but it did no good. We were full of the devil and no doubt made her day interesting! I am surprised she didn't drop us off at a convent! 🤣
They know you care. Sometimes they push the boundaries just to see if you do. You're doing a great job and I will pray for you and your positive impact on them.
I still have such a hard time understanding what I'm reading. I'm so thankful for your summaries it really helps me understand the story! I know I will get it eventually!
My God shot also was 36:11. How incredibly Faithful and generous is or God?
Tara I am 70 yrs old and was saved only 11 yrs ago.
Your bible study increases my knowledge and hunger to read the Bible every day. I am lifted up with your joy and enthusiam when you talk about God. I am sure when he is here in this study he is smiling with so much love for you because of your service to him. May you be blessed.
I too am an older person of 71 and only saved 12 years ago. It just goes to show you that God Waits a long time for us and is so merciful to do so. I am still in amazement that he kept me safe all this time so I could be saved.
the fact that at my age, God still waited for me. He is indeed an everlasting merciful God.
When Jesus proclaims one of His 7 “I AM’s” in John, as the Good Shepherd in Jn 10, He probably had Ez 34 in mind: “I Myself will tend My sheep and given them a place to lie down in peace [remember Ps 23], says the Sovereign Lord. I will search for My lost ones who strayed away, and I will safely bring them home again” (Ez 34:15-16). In Jn 10, Jesus’ point is to contrast Himself with the Pharisees, who are robbers and thieves, much like the bad shepherds of Israel in Ez 34:7-10. But in Ezekiel, we see something different: at Ez 36:26, the sheep get new hearts-tender, responsive hearts, not stony and stubborn-because the Shepherd will “put His Spirit in us” (Ez 36:27). This is a “peace that passes understanding,” because who can comprehend silly, short-sighted sheep being transformed to their core? Indeed, when Jesus gives us “life more abundantly” (Jn 10:10), we’re transformed from dumb animals driven only by instinct and appetite into Spirit-filled followers who can bring honor to “His holy name” (Ez 36:22).
Amen Tara-Leigh!
These chapters give us so much of God's motives. Thank you, God, for giving us your spirit. Please continue to change my heart and give me more desire to seek and serve You.
Yes Lord! This is my prayer too 🙏🏼 in Jesus’ name, Amen!
Our God is a God of restoration. The commentary in my Bible on Ezekiel 36:24 says no sooner had Jerusalem fallen than Ezekiel's message turned to the hope of restoration. 🫶🏽
My God shot was is in 34: 23 the promise of God to send the Messiah to be that good Sheppard, to gather his sheep, protect them and feed them from through out the world. He truly is where the joy is…
TheLord is my Shepherd ❤
Amen 🙏
Ezekiel 36:26-27 NIV
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws."
God will give us a new heart. God will give, we will be able to save ourselves. There is nothing I can do to earn what God has given.... I cannot save others. God is in control. We serve God. He loves us, his children, but HE Is God. HE deserves all the worship and praise. Today I saw my house as I was reading and realized it is not mine. It is God's. All I have is because of God.... He is the provider, he is the doer, He is the maker. Wow! I am so small and insignificant, yet He cares for me and loves me enough to be my provider, my Savior and He is my good shepherd. God you are so great, I deserve nothing, yet Your blessings are overwhelming. Thank You, God!!!
Aloha, praise the Lord and good morning BR family. David's confidence is God as a His Shepherd Psalm 23 what God promise he will fulfill. Psalm 23:1-5, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the path of righteous in his name's sake. Yea I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. He preparest table before me in the presence of my enemies; he anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever". Glory be to God; he is where the JOY is!!!
I am learning so much abt God...this after so many yrs being a Christian. Thank you Tara-Leigh!
Thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit. ❤
“And when I bring you back, people will say, ‘This former wasteland is now like the Garden of Eden! The abandoned and ruined cities now have strong walls and are filled with people!’”
Ezekiel 36:35 NLT
This verse reminded me of my favorite verse.
“For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Luke 19:10 ASV
These two verse show that without God, we are empty (or at least not whole), and that God is substance and sustenance that we need to prosper and succeed in this life, on a physical and mental level, but most importantly on a spiritual level.
God is good, God bless all y’all today!
What God expects shepherds to do well for their sheep.
Strengthen the weak sheep.
Heal the sick ones
Bind up the injured ones
Bring back the strays
Seek the lost ones
Make sure they’re all fed
Protect them from attack
Rule over them with gentleness and grace
All of these things God does for us first.
When these things are not done, God punishes the shepherd but also will rescue the sheep.
Instead of them becoming food for wild animals they themselves will be fed.
God Himself will seek them out.
He feeds them with justice.
God drives out our fears by His very presence.
Then in great kindness while we are still against Him He gives us new hearts to live and love Him.
God loves us deeply. He has proven that.
However God is the point. Not us.
He is to be worshiped, not us.
“They shall no more be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beasts of the land devour them. They shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.”
Ezekiel 34:28
““Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came. And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.”
Ezekiel 36:22-23
“And you are my sheep, human sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.””
Ezekiel 34:31
“And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.”
Ezekiel 36:26-27
Good evening bible Family 2nd year going through the Bible with TLC and TBR team still enjoying the journey He's where the Joy is ❤
Ezekiel 37 has been one of my favorites for a long time and I can't wait until tomorrow, but man, chapter 36 sure was competing for that spot today! 😁 Thank you Lord for being the "author of heart change!"
I had forgotten that Ezekiel, as well as Jeremiah, David, Malachi, and others prophesied the Messiah (Ez 34:23). And He gives me a new heart to replace my stubborn, stony heart (Ez 36:26-27)!
I can’t change my own heart or will…but He can. ❤ Good news to a hard hearted sinner.
I have tried to read Ezekiel several times before joining TBR but never understood it! This time I am learning so much about God's character, motivations, actions, plans, purposes. It is causing me to love Him more! Thank you, TLC!
What a precious gift from God and a excellent example of someone who has had their share of hardships in life Nevertheless your sincere love for and the Bible is so encouraging. If we don't say thank you, I am sure that he so grateful for the work that you do. Everyday I listen to the Bible Recap. Thank you!!
I love reading God’s promises to Israel! He is so faithful, so good, and so loving! No matter what happens around us, His promises still stand! We can trust that everything God says will come to pass. I’m overwhelmed by His goodness and grace!
This was a great reading today. I love how protective God is of His people. I am getting such a good understanding of the purpose of God's glory. You are so right. God's purpose is not to worship us; we are supposed to worship Him. What we do either lifts up His name or profanes it. We are vessels for His glory.
I am so thankful that I’m His sheep. I deserve nothing but hell and destruction yet He loves me each day more and more because of my Lord Jesus Christ. ❤️🙌
Amen sister!!
God holds leaders accountable (34:10). He is our ultimate leader who looks after us and rescues us (34:11-12). He searches for the lost and brings back the strays, binds up the injured and strengthens the weak, and leads with justice (34:16). He saves us (34:22), makes a covenant of peace with us (34:25), and showers us with blessings (39:26).
Thank You for changing me Lord! 🙌🏼♥️🙏🏼
Finally the first to like the video!!!!
😄
My Godshot was from Ezekiel 36:26. What a great verse about God changing our hearts.
My GS today Ezk 36:37
“I am ready to hear Israel’s prayers .”🙏🏾💜✝️ Thank you God !!! I can’t imagine God’s ear being Closed to me!!!😭😭😭 He’s Where The Joy Is!!!🙌🏾👏🏾💃🏾✝️💜😁
Give me your heart, Heavenly Father!
Amen 🙏❤️🙏
Hey Bible Readers!
My God shot id in Ezekiel 36:11 - I will make you inhabited as you once were AND make you better off than you were before (emphasis mine😊). Yes and Amen. Thank you, LORD.
Good point, connecting words show us the response!
Thank You God for saving me, this mere human. YOU are my Shepherd. What an awesome God we serve.
“And you are my sheep, human sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.””
Ezekiel 34:31 ESV
Thank you Lord for loving me!
God makes us holy and righteous. Only You Father can do this for us: we are nothing on our own. Amen
Amen 🙏
We worship God, not the other way around.
For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. Then they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the Israelites, are my people, declares the Sovereign Lord. You are my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord. Ezekiel 34:11-12, 30-31
There are echoes of Ezekiel 34 in Matthew 25 as well. My God shot today is God’s omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence. He never changes!
🙏🙌🏻🙏
Psalm 23
God’s promises are yes and amen
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ezekiel 34:26-27 KJV
[26] And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. [27] And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
Ezekiel 36:26-27 KJV
[26] A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. [27] And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
I would rather say ancient times. I think Biblical times are now as well, IF we follow GOD...
Uhm, the shepherds are the priests of Israel, not the Kings. This is about God replacing the clergy with 1 shepherd. He is the chief priest and the king. Even though there was a king, Israel was a theocracy. The request of a king was a rejection of God's chosen government for them. He's against the "shepherds" because they allowed the sheep to chase the world's method of government. When Jesus comes in the gospels, he doesn't rail against the king (that's John the Baptist's job). Jesus rails against the Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes and other priests and replaces them. He replaces their temple with the temple of the body of believers.
