A Shepherd is a person he cares for sheep. How does a sheep behave? They are naturally defenceless against predators. They cannot do anything to protect themselves. The only thing a sheep knows to do well is to follow the Shepherd. They don’t follow strangers because they can only understand the Shepherd.
Where sheep does not have a Shepherd guiding it, the wander away without direction thereby endangering themselves.
A Shepherd comes to protect the sheep, he is always available to give direction to the sheep. The sheep obeys only a Shepherd because over time it recognizes the voice of the Shepherd. The Shepherd is very valuable to the live of sheep, without a Shepherd they can’t survive for long. The sheep lives without worry or concern because the Shepherd takes care of all their needs.
The Shepherd takes care of the safety and welfare of his sheep. A sheep does not give up on a lost sheep.
As believers we also just like the sheep need to trust our Shepherd completely. We need to trust and rely on the lord for our overall welfare. We need to surrender and depend on the Shepherd.
We also need to obey the Shepherd as the sheep does because on our own, we can do nothing.
God's rod and staff guides and directs us. For a sheep to enjoy security it has to be where his Shepherd wants it to be at any point in time.
As believers we should endeavour to be like a sheep in our Christian lives and not like a goat that is very stubborn and does what it wants. We should always try to exhibit the traits of a sheep and not that of a goat. We should yield ourselves to the lord always.
As believers what is our security dependent on? Do we have a Shepherd or we wander aimlessly on our own, is the lord truly your Shepherd are you bring led by Him?
As Christians we must always abide and stand in the Lord.
Prayers
