Mortal, you are living in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see but do not see, who have ears to hear but do not hear; for they are a rebellious house. Ezekiel 12: 2-3
Goodness, God could just as easily be speaking to us instead of to the prophet Ezekiel thousands of years ago.
We too have eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear.
We fail to see how our self-centered ways are depleting Creation.
We fail to hear the cries of the hungry and thirsty.
We fail to see the injuries we inflict on others with our words.
We fail to hear the laments of those who mourn the fatalities of warfare.
We fail to see the lost among us.
We fail to hear the many labels we use to divide instead of unite.
God must be wondering: When? When, my people, will you hear and see?
