Sheep need a shepherd, someone who will look after them with great care. A sheep can easily wander off into danger, vulnerable to a predator or getting lost. The Bible’s picture of Jesus as the Great Shepherd and we as sheep is no accident. We need His caring presence because we are prone to wander off without Him. We are safe in His presence and He provides what we need for each day’s journey. One day, one step at a time with Him is the life I want to live.
“But because the sheep ( followers of Christ) belong to Christ and have recognized Him as Lord and Master of their lives, their owner and manager, they are permeated by a deep, quiet, settled peace that is beautiful to behold.” - W. Phillip Keller, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23
