Scripture

Acts 20

28 “So guard yourselves and God’s people. Feed and shepherd God’s flock—his church, purchased with his own blood—over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as elders.

Observation

It is our job to protect God’s people. It is our job to feed and shepherd God’s flock – his church. Why is it such an important job – because his church was blood bought, purchased with his own blood.

So we have been appointed elders over the flock of God. Paul says that those that are elders need to set the example.

33 “I have never coveted anyone’s silver or gold or fine clothes. 34 You know that these hands of mine have worked to supply my own needs and even the needs of those who were with me. 35 And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Application

I will strive to be an example for those that I am over in the Lord.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me be a constant example just like Paul was to all the churches that he started and that he shepherded. Help me to think more about others than I do about myself. Give me a generous heart. Help me not to covet what others have and help me to be content with all that You have given me.
