Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve.

1 Peter 5:2

In God’s Flock

What kind of sheep are you?

Pastors are called to be shepherds of the people under their care. It’s good to remember that this is something they are willing to do, and that God asks them to do. It is not an obligation for them. It is a privilege.

What kind of sheep are you in relation to your pastor? Do you wander off from worship, disconnecting yourself from the spiritual food that is prepared for you every week? Stop doing that! It’s not good for you and causes a lot of consternation for your shepherd.

Do you lead other sheep astray by holding grudges, complaining, and turning up your nose at your shepherd? Stop doing that! Your pastor will never be perfect. Forgive him, just as the Lord has forgiven you.

Do you show appreciation for your shepherd? The smartest sheep realize all that God is providing them through their shepherd, and they find ways to express their gratitude.

We all like sheep have gone astray. But the Lord has laid all our iniquity on the Good Shepherd, Jesus, and his undershepherds deliver that message with delight whenever and wherever they have the chance.

Prayer:

Good Shepherd, bless the work of pastors everywhere that more and more sheep come into your sheep pen. Amen.
