I’d like to focus on the necessity of the presence of God. To that extent, Jesus Christ is the shepherd, and I am an under-shepherd; as such, I cannot do anything without the Lord. From my perspective, ministry belongs to God and He is actively at work. I have the opportunity to join in and serve for Him. God can get the work done without me; however, He is loving and gracious to call and use me. Like a shepherd does the under-shepherd. Being attuned to the presence of God in every aspect of life as an under-shepherd is of great importance. Move too slow, we fall behind God, move too fast, we get ahead of God. We need to move in step with God day by day. Moses places significant emphasis on the presence of God, and as under-shepherds, we need to be vigilantly emphatic about God’s presence in our lives, the lives of our churches, our community, and the entire world. |
