Duties of the Shepherd

What need does the shepherd met?
How do they help us to be complete?


The flock, the shepherds do feed.
They make sure we get what we need.

If we are willing to follow, the shepherds will lead,
They will follow the words God tells them to heed.

For our protection they most surely will pray,
To our supreme shepherd that gives us each day.

How to the shepherds do we show respect?
We eat what the shepherds prepare without neglect.
Jeremiah 15:16a “Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and
thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart.”

We follow the shepherds as they lead us God’s way
So we will not venture from the truth and go astray.
Psalm 23:3a “He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”

We follow the protection given in their words of instruction,
It keeps us from spiritual danger and destruction.
Psalm 23:4 “yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”

We honor our shepherds when the teaching of Christ we heed,
For God’s word has all that we will ever need.
II Timothy 3:16-17 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

So this day we come to honor our shepherds.
We come to feast with them, to praise them and to thank them.
Let us come and feast on the words that God gives them utterance to speak
Let us show them praise by our actions of true worship and dedication to the mission of the Lord as he directs them.

Let us show our thanks but being willing to give of ourselves to the up keep of the kingdom of God, that was founded on the one true shepherd our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.


Honor your Shepherd today!
