Who Is The Shepherd?

Men love power and the sense of power which they use quite often in their daily lives. Being the boss is most men’s dream, and when they achieve success in the business world, that ‘power’ kicks in. They want to shepherd everyone around them, those who work below their management, their colleagues, friends, and even the family. They love being the ‘boss’ wherever they go. They love being on top of everything and everyone. That’s men for you. Some women walk the same route in life.

But even us who are ‘bosses’ have a person we should report to. This is our heavenly Shepherd, our Lord and God, Jesus Christ. He is the one Person who is Shepherd over everyone, whether believers or unbelievers. He is God! What does the bible tell us? Let’s read one verse that makes it all clear to us… “I myself will be the Shepherd of my sheep and cause them to lie down in peace, says the Lord” This is found in Ezekiel 34:15. And this is true! As we are shepherds and ‘bosses’ to those around us, mainly in the business world, we too have to report to the divine Shepherd who is our ‘Boss’. He does not force His power of rule upon us but does everything in His mighty love for us.

Therefore we need to seek Him as our Shepherd, and understand the gospels, in this way understanding His saving grace. In this way we will live in His peace and this will lead us in peace where we are shepherds towards others. When He is above us and our God we will find a heavenly peace that is far more than we can understand as worldly peace. Therefore I ask you today, who is your shepherd? My Shepherd is my saving and loving Lord and God. Be blessed and walk in His peace.
