Summary

We have briefly looked at the human relationships that pertain to the particular role that I have in life - as an employer, as a father, as a husband, as a wife, as a mother, as a child, or as an employee or an employer. What is my scriptural position? How should I fulfill my role?

God help me. For, as I realize I have an obligation to God as His servant, I have obligations to you as the family of God in the position that He has given me as the shepherd of the flock, and I realize my obligation to my wife and children, and I try to balance and fulfill all these obligations and their incumbent pressures - there's no way I can do it!

As Paul said, "Who is sufficient for these things?" (II Corinthians 2:16). But, with Paul, I thank God that our sufficiency is not of ourselves. Our sufficiency is of Christ. We learn to turn to Him for His help, guidance, and strength in all things.
