As Peter begins to wind up his letter he addresses the elders who are leading the churches he’s writing to. He exhorts them to shepherd the people under their care and lead them. While Peter’s exhortation is directed at leaders in a church setting, the principles he lays out apply to leadership in any setting. Good leaders think like a shepherd, and any good shepherd will provide for, protect, and guide their sheep. We can see God doing the same with us as our Shepherd in Psalm 23. Good leaders/shepherds also think more about the people they lead than themselves, serving willingly, eagerly, and leading by example in humility. Are you leading anything? Think like a shepherd who loves their sheep and knows they’re a sheep themselves.
