FEB 4 2026 Worthless Shepherds
Do
these shepherds imagine that the Lord is pleased with the state of
apostasy which exists in the organized churches of today? Do
they believe that he is satisfied with the current state of the
Church and her affairs? Do they assume that he cannot see the
wretchedness of modern Christianity? Do they believe that he,
even he, is not able to reverse the corrupt state of affairs? Is
his arm shortened that he cannot change the situation, remedy these
wrongs, and restore the Church to her intended glory? As Isaiah
said, “Now therefore
what have I here,” declares the Lord, “seeing that my people are
taken away for nothing? Their rulers wail,” declares the Lord, “and
continually all the day my name is despised”
(Isa 52:5). When will
his name be magnified again? We shall know his name as the Wonderful
Counselor, for how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him
who brings good tidings; and the Prince of Peace, who maintains
peace; and the Everlasting Father, who proclaims salvation;
and the Mighty God, who declares to Zion, your God reigns! For
the Lord will restore his Church to her former glory, as recorded in
his word. And in that day shall we say, “Praise the Lord! For
the Lord Almighty is our God, our Father, and our Friend, and his
loving kindness and grace comforts us and has given us life.” With
joy shall we draw water out of the wells of salvation, and this well
is his Spirit and his word, and we are the bucket which shall be
continually drawing from the well, and we shall pour forth his
praises and his word to others, and they shall drink also. And
many shall come to our light, for he has made us the light of the
world, so he might shine through his Church, that all men may be
drawn unto him!
