leading under God’s leadership

Ezekiel 45:9-10 (JDV)

Ezekiel 45:9 “This is what the Lord Yahveh says: You have gone too far, princes of Israel! Put away violence and oppression and do what is just and right. Put an end to your evictions of my people.” This is the declaration of the Lord Yahveh.
Ezekiel 45:12 “You are to have honest scales, an honest dry measure, and an honest liquid measure.
Ezekiel 45:11 The ephah and the bath should be of the same measure, the bath containing one-tenth of a homer, and the ephah one-tenth of a homer; the homer shall be the standard measure.
Ezekiel 45:12 The shekel will weigh twenty gerahs. Your mina will equal sixty shekels.

leading under God’s leadership

God challenges the leaders to have honest scales — to show what integrity means. We need to put away corruption, dishonesty, and greed, and lead under God’s leadership.

LORD, give us the wisdom to lead with honesty and integrity.
