Verse of the day July 11 2023 To the elders among you I appeal as a Fellow Elder and a witness of Christ's Sufferings who also will share in the Glory to be revealed be Shepherds of God's flock that is under your care Watching over them not because you must But because you are willing as God wants You to be not pursuing dishonest gain But eager to serve not lording it over Those entrusted to you but being Examples to the flock And when the chief Shepherd appears you Will receive the Crown of Glory that Will never fade away First Peter 5 verses 1 to 4. Thoughts on today's verse How marvelous it is for believers to Have devout leaders guiding their Congregation serving as caring Shepherds As much as we love these kinds of Shepherds and follow them with respect As we honor their examples we know that They will receive even greater Appreciation from Jesus the chief Shepherd when he appears to take us home In glory Prayer o magnificent God please bless Every faithful and concerned leader in Your church with a clear sense of your Blessing and appreciation Please use me to show this love to your Faithful Servants as well
I pray in the name of Jesus Amen Foreign [Music]
