Scattered flock - or filled to all the fulness of God?

31 January 2010

Jer 10:10 But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure His indignation.
Jer 10:21 For the shepherds have become stupid and have not sought the LORD; Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered…. 32 I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not in himself, Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps. 24. Correct me, O LORD, but with justice; Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.

Hosea 5:6 They will go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, but they will not find Him; He has withdrawn from them. 7. They have dealt treacherously against the LORD… 15. I will go away and return to My place until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; in their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.

Eph 3:16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, 17. so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18. may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19. and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. 20. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21. to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus – to all generations forever and ever, Amen.
