Ezekiel 34:11–16
11 ‘For thus says the Lord GOD: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day. 13 And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14 I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord GOD. 16 “I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong, and feed them in judgment.”

So many are standing by their Jericho today and contemplating like Joshua how to take it. The psalmist records “I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help, my help […]

TEXT: Genesis 12:1-9
INTRODUCTION:
Life is a passage or journey through time of God’s creations. There is a beginning and an end. It is measured in ages, centuries, years, seasons, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Science has advanced to such heights that it is now measured in fractions of seconds. No matter the measurement used, a unit of time is a step. It is referred to as a moment.
