" 'Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which they Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He has purchased with His own blood.' "
Acts 20:28
Pastoring is an awesome responsibility and privilege. I heard one pastor say that it would be a demotion to be elected president of the United States. It seems we often do not have as high a regard as we ought for the gift that God has given to the Church (Ephesians 4:11). As a part of the Great Flock, the pastor needs to watch over his own spiritual well-being as well as the sheep under his assignment, so that he can lead the flock well. Every shepherd must remember that the flock does not belong to him, but to the Great Shepherd Who purchased the sheep with His own blood. Even though flock is not a pastor's personal possession to manipulate for his own pleasure and benefit, he does have the joy of overseeing, guiding, and feeding God's sheep. God bless faithful pastors.
Today's Thought: Pastoring God's sheep is a great privilege.
Have an "honoring pastor" day. Love you.
