The poor exasperated pastor’s wife is pictured pulling her discouraged husband out of bed by his feet. She shouts, “The dawn is breaking over yonder thicket, the rays of sunlight are touching tree and house and church. You’re the shepherd of yon flock. Get up!”
Everyone has days like that, but pastors have a tremendous obligation for the flock of God.
And He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,
Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly;
Any pastors reading this, give it some thought and go to work. You have a calling on your life.
