Beyond the Gospels: Peter

Today's Scripture: 1 Peter 5
[Open up the Word by clicking the link above or open your Bible.]

Christian leadership calls for leading by example. Peter encourages servanthood and mutual responsibility as service to the Lord. Leaders are to guard God's flock while displaying a submissive attitude as an expression of trusting oneself to God.

A godly life and sacrificial service are to be our manner of service as we submit to Jesus Christ, our Chief Shepherd. Willing humble service is to be the way of all Believers, because of His grace and for His glory.
Thought for today: Voluntarily serve the will of God, not for gain, but because of a loving heart.
Gracious God, help us to remain humble while serving You.
