Today's Devotion: Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. (The Holy Bible : New International Version. electronic ed. Grand Rapids : Zondervan, 1996, c1984, S. 1 Pe 5:7) Here, Peter is giving advice to the elders and young men of the Church. He speaks particularly in reference to those who serve as shepherds, as well as those who follow the shepherds and will eventually take their place.

Today's Comments: Here it is already the third day in my journey back from Max Lucado to the postings of Kenneth Copeland, and we are still talking about sheep and shepherd. God wants those in charge to be good shepherds of His flock, and he wants those of us in leadership positions to become shepherds out of willingness, not out of obligation. We have an example to follow, and that example is Jesus Christ. And, if we are willing to take on the task, God will give us the grace to achieve those objectives that He has set for us. By casting our anxiety on Him, we become free to do His will.
