To the fellows

Hey fellers I read this this morning…

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them.” John 10:27

It is comforting to know that just like sheep we stray away from time to time but he still knows us and takes care of us.

There are a hundred directions to go with this verse but the one thing I need to hear is in reference to leadership.

Jesus is the Great Shepherd aka the leader of our flock. We need to strive to be like him at all costs. Sometimes being a leader requires some following before we can truly lead others. Just like sheep we have strength in numbers. So when we are left alone or stray away, we become vulnerable to a wolf or just plain old getting lost.

Yesterday I learned a valuable lesson in leadership. There are those that have come before us that have done it right. On the flip side we can all think of those that have lead us or others in the wrong direction. So let’s follow our leader here and be a good leader by noticing our subordinates, family members and even our peers the same way that Jesus says he does.

I hope y’all are having a great week. Men, stay strong in what we have set as our foundation. We are the leaders of those around us, to some degree or another, whether we want to be or not.
