Worship into the Week- Ezekiel 34:11-24
The Lord God Will Seek Them Out
This section shares the image of God as the compassionate
"Good Shepherd" who will rescue, gather and restore His
scattered flock, the people of Israel.
They have lived in a time of exile and hardship.
We move from failed human leaders - (the bad shepherds)
to God's plan. God's loving care is to
seek the lost and heal the injured.
A new shepherd, Jesus, David's descendant
will be set over them.
God is committed to justice, care
and the flourishing of His people.
We see the promise here to be fulfilled in Jesus.
God desires for justice and care to be balanced.
He will ask us how we carried
this out in our earthly time.
Did we take time to find and care for "others"?
That may not be a popular choice these days.
As we sort things out here,
we also know that we are never lost.
Our God always knows exactly
where we are in our journey.
