When the Sheep Shoot the Shepherd!?!
Down the Path to the Well--a thought to remember along the way
Do you know any "shepherds of the flock of God" who have been wounded by the "sheep of the pasture," one or more of the saintly congregation who choose to slander, cause pain, and sometimes mortally wound a servant of God? It's no laughing matter--and we've sobered up real quickly, haven't we!
You see, I'm a P.K. - which actually means "preacher's kid" though it may also mean "peculiar kid" or "precious kid"! And I know, from living in a parsonage and working closely with my pastor dad, a little of what it feels like to be "wounded" in the "house of the brethren." Thank God, we need not remain wounded, for the GREAT Shepherd is able to bind up those wounds, to heal completely whatever hurt has been caused...BUT it does hurt...there is pain...and the sheep need to put away the guns and pray for the shepherd--not shoot him!
Are you one who has hurt your shepherd and his family? He's not perfect, but he's God's servant--and is to be respected, loved, listened to, and prayed for! Great Shepherd of the Sheep, help us all--and if YOU have wounded your shepherd, may God give you the grace to make it right, to restore the relationship that God has ordained for your spiritual life.....
Maybe you're the wounded shepherd, his wife, or one of the kids! Come today to the Great Shepherd of the Sheep--let Him "dig out all the dirt" in those nasty, unfair, uncalled-for wounds, let Him pour on the ointment of the Holy Spirit's comfort, bind up the wounds, and heal your heart today. He will--if you will let Him.
So much for the sheep shooting the shepherd----but a thought-provoking message for us all! Believe it--find a way to love your shepherd and his family today--and you will have a great day!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
"And they shall be my people, and I will be their God; and I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them...I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me (Jeremiah 32:38-40)."
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day
"Great Shepherd of the Sheep, help us all. Whether we're the sheep guilty of the wounding, or the shepherd who's taken the blow, may You speak peace and healing to us all, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
