Kathy and I recently witnessed a performance on shepherding by a shepherd from Ireland. He highlighted three qualities about sheep that I found instructive.
The final quality is that sheep are humbly obedient. We watched as this shepherd used his staff to simply point in a direction.
The sheep would gather and begin moving in the direction in which the shepherd had pointed in humble obedience.
As shepherds, we need to give our team clear direction; but as followers we need to be humbly obedient to our leaders.
Colossians 3:22 says, “Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.”
God desires us to humbly obey those who are in authority, just as sheep do.
