Then the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. Exodus 2:17
We see in our verse for today the beginning of God's provision of a shepherd for Israel. Other shepherds would come including Joshua, David, and Solomon, but none quite like the Good Shepherd to come. Indeed we see that those shepherds in our verse for today did not act good at all! And this Good Shepherd would promise that more false shepherds would appear in the end times. Today we call them pastors, priests and other titles, but the shepherds who follow Jesus, the Good Shepherd, are those given to lead the flocks back to the Father our God. Be wary though, some shepherds take after the ones Moses met and will try to drive the flock away from following Jesus and the living water He has for us.
Be glad, little sheep, your Good Shepherd returns soon!
