God has an infinite number of solutions for our problems. One of His most common is to provide us with godly leaders. A man or woman of God can transform even the worst mess we find ourselves in!
God was keenly aware of every person who had backslidden from Him. He desired to bring them back to Himself. First, God drew his wayward people away from where they had been. He removed them from their temptations and distractions. Instead, He took them to a godly place. Second, God provided leaders who would shepherd His people according to His own heart. Such leaders brought the best out in God’s people and kept them safe from backsliding once again.
At times our spiritual condition can deteriorate to the point that drastic measures are required. Staying where we are will continue to produce the same dissatisfying results. Do you presently have a spiritual “shepherd” in your life who is encouraging you and guiding you in the way you should go? Do you need to make some significant changes to find a trustworthy shepherd?
