Governor:

1 min read · Chapter 106 of 243

If indeed the Lord is with us, He is there to guide and direct us. As Governor or Leader, He rules and feeds His people. Often in Scripture, shepherds and rulers are closely connected. Joseph, Moses and David are some who had seasons tending flocks before taking an administrative place. Peter develops this line of truth in the fifth chapter of his first epistle. These examples are needful to follow in order to have effective oversight. Compare also Acts 20:28, 29.
All are not overseers, but regardless of this, we all have to do with Jesus as our Lord, our Governor, our Leader and our Shepherd. We are not in this world to do according to our own thoughts, or to fend for ourselves, but to know and to do the will of God.
To be in the current of God's thoughts will bring us into collision with the philosophies, wisdom, and objects of this world. If we are true to the Word of God, we will in measure experience reproach and contempt.
