Sheep

Have you ever heard of people referred to as sheep? This implies that they are placid and unthinking followers. This is no compliment. Yet many times in my word I refer to my own people as my sheep. Do you think I mean this as an insult? Yet my word also refers to me as the lamb slain from the foundation of the world, and it is clear that sheep face a better future than goats. It is not within a man to direct his own steps. Even the best and brightest are followers and all the more so if they are unaware that this is true and how much this dynamic affects them. Blessed are those who walk in the light and are delighted to call on me as their shepherd.
