This is what the Lord God says:
I, myself, will search for my sheep
and take care of them.

Ezekiel 34:11

     Mission statements are a big deal in corporate America today.  If you believe the hype then you can’t succeed without a succinct mission statement.  Personally, I believe actions speak louder than words.  I’d rather see a company take care of customers than hear them tell they are going to take care of customers.

     Corporate advisors say a good mission statement will be succinct and well defined.  Here’s an example of a bad mission statement:  “To deliver high profits to shareholders through providing a broad range of services to customers, thereby enhancing their ability to succeed”  Can any of you tell me the who, what, when or where of that company?

     In Ezekiel we have the perfect mission statement from God:  “I, myself, will search for my sheep and take care of them”.  God, who loves and cares for us, leaves no question about his mission in this world. 

    That’s a mission statement I can believe!
