Shepherd

Jeremiah 3:15 - "And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding."




Do we have shepherds over our lives who are after God's heart? Who provides us with spiritual food?
This is the promise of God, that when we return to Him and seek His mercy then He will place us under (with) the right Shepherds who will help us to grow spiritually and become a mature Christian.

And if we are in the leadership position (shepherding a flock) then we must remember what Jesus taught us - that a “Good Shepherd” cares for His sheep, so much so that He will lay down His life for them. He cares for the sheep because they are His sheep. And because they are His sheep, He knows them, and they know Him. They recognize His voice, and they follow Him. Ultimately, the Good Shepherd lays down His life for His sheep.

So as you fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings and as one who shares in the glory that will be revealed, I urge the elders among you: Give a shepherd’s care to God’s flock among you, exercising oversight not merely as a duty but willingly under God’s direction, not for shameful profit but eagerly. And do not lord it over those entrusted to you, but be examples to the flock. Then when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that never fades away - (1 Peter 5:1-4)

Have A Blessed Day!

God Bless

Every Day With Jesus
