We are God's Sheep (3.3.13)

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want - Psalm 23 GOD created sheep as a unique animal. Sheep need to be herded to greener pastures when their own pasture has been stripped of foliage. Sheep will wander off into traps, standing helplessly while predators stalk them. Out of all GOD's creatures, few are more helpless than sheep. It is interesting that GOD calls us His sheep. We so often think that we have complete control over our lives, and yet we really are helpless. We need to admit our weaknesses to the Father. When we admit our weakness, this admission becomes our strength, helping us to understand our need for GOD's intervention. GOD will protect us, provide for us, guide us from place to place, and never leave us alone. He truly is the Good Shepherd, the best shepherd we could ever hope to find. We need a shepherd to walk with us daily, and thank GOD we have the finest. Prayer: Lord,  I have difficulty admitting that I cannot do everything on my own.  Help me to see that leaning on Your strength is not weakness at all,  but power beyond measure.  By Your wisdom I am saved.  Thank you Father. Amen
