In yesterday’s passage, Ezekiel said God would replace the shepherds who abused his “flock”, the people of Israel. In today’s verses, he went on to say that he would not let the “fat” members of the flock bully and exploit weaker ones. The good shepherd would value justice, rather than excess or exploitation.
- At times, we excuse excess spending with the logic that “it’s my money, so I only hurt myself if I blow it.” Consider how you could “spend less” this Advent. What inner fears or rewards most often drive you to spend more than you can afford, or than someone else needs? How can Ezekiel help you rethink those inner drivers?
- “My flock will no longer be plundered,” God says. “I will place over them one shepherd.” How does it affect your outlook to see God as the “one shepherd” caring about the entire human family, rather than just individuals here and there? How can you be God’s hands to help bring about greater well-being for all people?
