So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. — Psalm 78:72

One of the greatest privileges and most significant responsibilities a Christian leader may have is the title of pastor or shepherd in God’s household. It is crucial for everyone of us to provide for others in a shepherding manner, even though the Bible indicates that only a select few individuals are genuinely qualified to be the shepherds of God’s flock (see Acts 20, 1 Timothy 3, and Titus 1). Make sure the shepherds we choose have good hearts and a track record of providing for others. And let’s cooperate, pray, and carry out ministry while they are in control.
