The weather has been so beautiful here these past few days, over 30. As nice as it has been, even no mosquitos, it has been unbearably hot in the evenings to sleep. Thus, it's been late nights and tough to get going in the morning. However, going in to the office at 10 helps..
Scripture
John 10:13
The hired hand runs away because he’s working only for the money and doesn’t really care about the sheep.
Observation
I have realized that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and I am only the under shepherd. Years ago I heard that 'Jesus has laid down His life for the church so I don't have to". But I have never wanted to be a hireling.
Application
Simple: make sure I am caring for the sheep. Even thought I am not THE shepherd, I am working for Him, and I know He wants me to care about the people. Although I don't think I've ever been about the money, I do think I an be distracted by the operation of the church and overlook the people.
Prayer
Father, please help me to never miss caring for the ones You have entrusted to my care. They are Yours, and I want to take good care of them.
