Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is Habakkuk 1-3, 1 Peter 5
1 Peter 5:2a-
Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care
We are all placed in a role of leadership at some point, in one way or another. We have to take that responsibility seriously, without going on a power trip but humbling ourselves so that God can use us.
We need to remember-
-it’s about God, not us; it’s God’s flock (vs 2)
-not because you must but because you’re willing (vs 2)
-not because of what you can get but because of what you can give (vs 2)
-leading by example not by force (vs 3)
We also need to remember that “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” (Vs 5)
Sometimes, even in leadership, we need to swallow our pride & recognize good advice when given to us. We need to acknowledge that others may have valuable insight & be ready to accept it (maybe even seek it out) in order to grow as a leader (servant) of God.
