For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls - 1 Peter 2:25.
Shepherd
Jesus is our Shepherd and we are the sheep
under His care. For He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand - Psalm 95:7. We went astray like sheep
on our own ways but Jesus gave His life for our sins. All we like sheep have
gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid
on Him the iniquity of us all - Isaiah 53:6. For all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption
that is in Christ Jesus - Romans 3:23.
Overseer
Jesus is the overseer of our soul who always
watches us and protects us. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade
at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night -
Psalm 121:5,6. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve
your soul - Psalm 121:7. He guards our life and keeps our soul safe until the
day of glory.
Shepherd & Overseer
Jesus is our good Shepherd who gave His life for us. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep - John 10:11. Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep - Hebrews 13:20. He is our caring overseer who guides us, trains us and protects us. Let us return back to the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for
being our Shepherd and Overseer of our souls. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
