“And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the Lord. And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord. Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.” Zechariah 11 v7-14 AKJV

Through all the difficulties God’s way will prevail, just and right. Lord, this day let us meditate on you word, that your spirit will speak to our hearts, especially those to a special calling in your work. Let us hear what your spirit is saying to the church. Time is soon coming to its fullest state in you. Lord, I thank you for this day, let me continue in reaching to correct my witness-your witness to others in me. Forgive me Lord, in this incorrect world of my partaken iniquities by purpose or mistake and let my convictions continue always to bring me closer to you. Lord, I thank you for this day. Amen
