Justice and the Prophets
Called to God's Work of Justice
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
A Vision of Restoration
Ezekiel 34:16 The Message
11-16 “‘God, the Master, says: From now on, I myself am the shepherd. I’m going to look for them. As shepherds go after their flocks when they get scattered, I’m going after my sheep. I’ll rescue them from all the places they’ve been scattered to in the storms. I’ll bring them back from foreign peoples, gather them from foreign countries, and bring them back to their home country. I’ll feed them on the mountains of Israel, along the streams, among their own people. I’ll lead them into the lush pasture so they can roam the mountain pastures of Israel, graze at leisure, feed in the rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. And I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep. I myself will make sure they get plenty of rest. I’ll go after the lost, I’ll collect the strays, I’ll doctor the injured, I’ll build up the weak ones and oversee the strong ones so they’re not exploited.
For Reflection
Riches will fail you. Power will disappoint you. Drugs will destroy you. Christ will give you life and never fail you, disappoint you, or destroy you. God will heal you and provide you with unimaginable peace.
Pray
Pray so that you can rest in the hollow of God's hands.
