The Lord is my Shepherd; I have everything I need. Psalm 23:1
Sheep aren't smart. They tend to wander into running Creeks for water, then their wool grows heavy and they drown. They need a Shepherd to lead them to "calm water". They have no natural defense--no claws, no horns, no fangs. They are helpless. Sheep need a Shepherd with a "rod and walking stick" to protect them. They have no sense of direction. They need someone to lead them " on paths that are right."
So do we. We, too, get lost. We need a shepherd. We need a Shepherd to care for us and to guide us. And we have one. One who knows us by name.
