Where is the point for getting water?

[Yeong Kwang Jeon]

Through this chapter, I was thinking about how much I effort to become a true shepherd.
I thought I am not a bad shepherd, at least. No. I am afraid I don’t look like humble, in fact, I thought I am a pretty good pastor.

However, through this chapter, I was thinking I need to try much more for becoming an expert shepherd. For delivering the Word of God in depth, how much I tried to dig a well? For deeper prayer, how I walked closer to God?

I asked to myself,
‘do you know where is the point for getting water?’

Moreover, I can understand why Moses was rejected to enter the Canaan by God. I realized that doing cheap trick with my experience is really feared thing. It is a great arrogance. It is also screening the glory of God.

I remembered the frank confession of a pastor.

‘I myself thought I am a good preacher. One day, the arrogance sprouted in my mind, God took away my good preaching skill. During that time, it was too hard to preaching. God realized what I was doing.’
