Jeremiah 12:10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard; they have trampled down my portion; they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Three points:
1. Shepherds
These are leaders of nations. As an application can be applied to any leader--families, churches, businesses, groups, gatherings, educational leaders, or anything else. There are good leaders who do the will of God, and there are evil leaders who do the will of themselves or worse. What kind of leader are you?
2. Vineyard
This is Israel, but an application could be made of schools, church, or families. What are we doing with the vineyards for which we are responsible?
3. Pleasant to desolation
Our goal is to make whatever God has us responsible for a pleasant place. God's standards are to be followed. If things are done God's way, according to His standards and rules, anything can be pleasant.
