Feeling Sheepish

The past couple of weeks at church, we have learned about the comparison in the Bible between humans and sheep. I will admit that before the interactions with our pastor, I knew very little about sheep besides they are cute and loud. What I have learned is that they are not bright animals (thank you, David, for the example video during your teaching). Now, many people would, and maybe should, feel offended by the comparison between ourselves and these smelly unintelligent animals. I did not find any issues with being compared to a sheep for a couple of reasons. First: Sheep need protection (also a David lesson) Second: Sheep are stubborn animals (super stubborn human right here) Third: A final David lesson, sheep only follow their shepherd’s voice because they are in tune with a specific call. Mind blowing……God is my shepherd, and I am a stubborn sheep who needs all the guidance I can get. I have never related to an animal more. In fact, I will gladly refer to myself as a sheep in God’s fold because I need him. I NEED GOD EVERY DAY!!! I need him when my life is at its best and worst. I need him in sickness and health. I need him when I make any decision in my life. I need him in my marriage and when raising our children. I pray that I will be so filled with the Holy Spirit that no one will question who I belong to. So, if you are wondering, I am feeling pretty sheepish today, and I hope you are too!
