Theme: Called to Shepherd 

Text: Psalm 78:70-72

70 He also chose David His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds; 71 From following the ewes that had young He brought him, to shepherd Jacob His people, and Israel His inheritance. 72 So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

Dear beloved in the Lord, every service you render must be than as though it is to the Lord. David shepherd his father's flock in all eagerness and faithfulness. This prepared him to take up a higher responsibility in Israel as king. What duty are you charged with? How faithful are you in the discharge of this/these duty(ies)? If you work well, you'll get a better calling.

You need to develop or acquire skills in every duty at your disposal. These skills will serve as a guide to how you'll lead your subordinates. If you lack integrity and skills, you can't lead to perfection. You'll soon expose yourself in weaknesses. If you are a father/mother, then perform your duties effectively. If you're a teacher, give the best out of you to your students. If you're in the security service, serve your nation well and protect lives. In whatsoever service you render to humanity, do well to work effectively and God will lift you higher.

Prayer: Touch me again o God, that I may be filled with zeal to serve well in all You have entrusted in my care in Jesus name. AMEN!
