1 Peter 5 provides some further guidance for men who work in the shepherding of God's people. We are encouraged to "care for the flock of God" willingly without grudge and with eagerness in service to God. We are called to lead by example, serving in humility under the mighty power of God. Finally, we are warned to be watchful and alert of the enemy, resisting him and standing firm in the faith with confidence that our God of grace will himself "make you strong, firm, and steadfast".
