Ezekiel 34:20-24

God cares about all of His creation but He especially watches over and protects those that have no power and no one who cares for their needs. Today I am thankful that through our votes we have shown that Ohio cares for God’s children, all of them! 
The leaders of Israel had failed to lead properly. They had used their positions of power to their own advantage and to the disadvantage of the people.
The change from the pronoun I to he in this verse indicates that God would continue operating as the Chief Shepherd through this chosen future ruler from the Davidic line. He is the Messiah—God’s only Son and His servant.
Ezekiel 34:20-24
20 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: “Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep. 21 Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones with your horns, and scattered them abroad, 22 therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep. 23 I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them— My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd. 24 And I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.
