The Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
1 Peter 2:25

Recommended Reading: 1 Peter 5:1-4

When we can’t control the outcome, we can trust the Overseer. The word overseer was used in the New Testament for church leaders, but here the word is used of Christ. He’s the One who oversees and watches over us—caring, guarding, superintending, and overruling. When He oversees your life, He sees everything from His perspective. He knows every detail and is able to arrange and rearrange them for His purposes.

That’s why we bring impossible situations to Him. Think of the many biblical heroes who faced impossible moments. The sheer impossibility drove them to say, “Lord, what is Your will? I can do nothing. I commit this to your oversight.”

When you have an impossible circumstance, it’ll weigh you down until you give it to the Overseer of your soul. Then you’ll find an unexpected blessing—freedom. It’s no longer your problem to solve—it’s His. It’s no longer your burden to bear—it’s His. Thank God we have a good Shepherd and sovereign Overseer who can manage the impossible!

Today, take your problems and the potentials—your worship and your worries—and give them all to the Overseer of your soul.
