对今日诗句的想法
领导教会是这样一个敬畏和严肃的责任，而且应恭敬谦卑地进行。那些寻求地位或特权，成为教会领袖的需要知道，牧长，当祂以荣耀来临的时候，将严厉对付任何滥用了上帝的子民或误用这个非常重要的信任的人，同时慷慨地奖励那些是忠实的。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Zechariah criticized Israel's worthless shepherds in his prophecy. Paul warned church shepherds that Church leadership is an extraordinary and sobering responsibility and should be conducted with reverential humility (Acts 20:17-38). Those seeking status or privilege by becoming church leaders must know that the good Shepherd, Jesus (John 10:10-18), will deal with them harshly when he comes in his glory. Anyone who has abused God's people or misused their incredible responsibility to shepherd God's flock will receive harsh judgment. However, those who have followed Jesus' example as a shepherd will be generously rewarded (1 Peter 5:1-4).
我的祷告
爱的牧羊人，请保佑您的教会拥有爱你，热情关心你的羊群的合格的牧羊人。请给这些忠实的领袖你的亲近感，你的快乐，因为他们对你和你的羊忠实履行自己的职责。耶稣，为我们的罪牺牲的羔羊的名义，我祈祷。阿们。
My Prayer...
Loving Shepherd, please bless your church with qualified shepherds who love you and passionately care for your sheep. Please give these faithful leaders a sense of your nearness, help, and pleasure as they faithfully carry out their responsibilities to you and your sheep. I pray in the name of Jesus, your Lamb that was slain for our sins. Amen.
