A Shepherd Understands His Sheep
/Philip Keller/, once a shepherd shares some very interesting insights about the make up of sheep in his book, *A Shepherd Looks At Psalm 23*.
It is impossible for sheep to be made to lie down unless four requirements are met.
/Firstly,/ due to their timidity they must be free from all fear.
/Next,/ they must not have any friction with the other sheep, they must be at peace with each other.
/Third,/ they must be free from flies or parasites if they are to relax.
/Lastly,/ they will not lie down unless free from hunger.
Shepherd's care for all these needs.
Two weeks ago we saw God's instructions for His flock.
Peter gave instructions for both shepherds and the sheep.
In today's passage Peter is involved in a shepherds ministry.
He is very aware that Satan is roaming around like a roaring lion seeking to devour the sheep.
So Peter endeavors to protect the flock.
He seeks to bring them peace through his ministry.
Peter shares 4 important facets of pastoral ministry.
*/Prayer, Praise, Preaching, Fellowship/*
/Firstly/ Prayer
/ /
*1 Peter 5:10* /But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you./
/ /
Aware of Satan's unrelenting attacks, Peter commits the sheep to God's care.
He doesn't just pray that God might be with them in suffering.
He prays that God might work through their suffering.
This would give them even greater encouragement.
When we know God's purposes for suffering we can remain hopeful.
Sheep feel secure when the shepherd is watching.
