Nahum 3:10

In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, Jesus the Good Shepherd never leaves us nor forsakes us......we leave Him out of our lives and then wonder why the world is falling apart at the seams. Our churches need to be about their Father’s business gathering in the lost and wounded of this society!

When the shepherds are not alert, the sheep cannot be saved from danger.

 A good leader is concerned that the people’s physical needs are being met and that care is provided for the sick and injured. A true leader looks for those who have fallen away. He leads like a shepherd by providing direction and correction, not with a fist but with a loving hand. A good leader protects those under his care and does not leave them to the wolves—to those who lead them astray. And finally, a good leader gives of himself to those under his charge. He cares about them and their well-being. Jesus’ self-sacrificing life provides the perfect blueprint for making a good shepherd and leader.

Nahum 3:10

¹⁸ Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; 
Your nobles rest in the dust. 
Your people are scattered on the mountains, 
And no one gathers them.
