Hello, all! I pray that you are doing well today. Today I want to address, US, as sheep. Over and over God refers to us as sheep. "All we like sheep have gone astray" Isaiah; "My sheep hear my voice" John; "We are.....the sheep of His pasture" Psalm; "Feed my sheep" John..........and there is many more.
Sheep are the dumbest of all animals. They are helpless, timid, and feeble, they require constant attention and meticulous care. They have little means of self-defense. If they do not have the constant care of the shepherd, they will go the wrong way, unaware of the dangers at hand. Why did God create them that way? It is believed that He had a two-fold purpose. First, to show us our total, absolute poverty of spirit, and second, to show us our need of a shepherd. The welfare of the sheep depends solely upon the care they get from their shepherd.
Oh, friends, I hope that you will understand. Even though we may do dumb things at times, we are not perfect,
