As I get older, I see how easy it is to be disconnected, even reclusive from the world, world events, and activities, especially what a younger generation faces every day. It may be in the home, at school, on the job, or in the community.
Shepherds, who tend to be older (by God’s design), can easily become isolated from the world. When this happens, they are challenged to help provide solid biblical answers for these challenges when they are asked.
Take time with the sheep to learn about the battles they fight and focus on how to provide biblical answers to help them fight the good fight of faith.
We need good shepherds.
