Have you been to a company or function and nothing was in order? Everything and everyone was kind of out of place? It was probably because there was not one person taking full charge of the situation. What I will look at today is a scripture that clearly shows me how my life will be directed.

Scripture

1 Peter 2:25

25For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Observation

God has again nailed me to a T. I am as a sheep just wandering around, but I came back to the only Shepherd and Overseer I need to know.

Application

What really sparked in my spirit was that God Oversee's me. He is not the dictator, he is not bossing me around; he gently oversee's my life. What does it mean to me that he is my Overseer? In my mind I see it as a garden. In John 15:1 the Bible says, "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener." So the gardener oversees my life. If my life is all the plants in a garden then.....he knows when I need to be trimmed, he knows when I need water, he knows when I need more nutrition, he knows what pests will try to destroy me, he knows how to protest my roots during winter, he knows it all because he OVERSEE's it all. I trust my OVERSEER, that what is being done to me right now is good for me. I know that all my branches and flowers may have been trimmed and I look like a bare twig in the ground, but the trust I have in the OVERSEER of my life tells me that because of the trimming I will be stronger and more beautiful in the end. I need to let the OVERSEER do the correct and timely work on me.

Prayer

Father, Thank you for overseeing my life. I surely can't, I'm just a wandering sheep, BUT your chose to oversee me. I pray that you could help me accept every area that you oversee. I don't know the big picture, but you do, so I turn that over to you so you can oversee my life to bring more glory to your kingdom. Amen
