1 Peter 5:2
1 Peter 5:2
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
Shepherding God’s flock is a sacred responsibility that requires humility, wisdom, and love. This verse speaks to the role of leaders who are entrusted with guiding and caring for God’s people. Shepherds are called to lead with compassion and integrity, ensuring that those they care for are protected, nurtured, and spiritually nourished. Leadership is about guiding others toward the truth of God’s Word, offering encouragement, protection, and direction. Shepherding God’s flock requires a heart for service, a commitment to prayer, and a desire to see others grow in their relationship with God. As leaders, we are called to watch over those in our care, ensuring that they are fed spiritually and supported in their walk with Christ. True leadership is about serving others with love and dedication, just as Christ served His disciples.
