We are being stretched and challenged by many posts, videos, thoughts… concerning the global village, consumerism, our impact on the world by our purchasing choices and affluent lifestyles in North America. It is sickening that resources are robbed, nations impoverished and people mistreated so that I can live an easier, more comfortable, faster and luxurious life. I don’t know what all the solutions are, but something must be done, anything and everything to correct this grave imbalance. Ezekiel 34 seems to be speaking directly to us today concerning the greed and wastefulness in our fattened “Christian” nation that continues to demand for more and more goods at the expense of others.
“Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet?” Ez. 34:18-19
Forgive us Lord and show us the way to bring your love, life, healing and resources to those in need.
