Food for thought. Sheep!

I read this today in Victory over the Darkness by Neil anderson


------------

"Sheep need to be shepherded. They are so dumb that if left to themselves in an open pasture they will keep eating until it kills them. They need a shepherd to make them lie down in green pastures (Psalms 23:3) so they don't eat themselves into oblivion."



We are often refered to as sheep in the scriptures.  Makes me think of how helpless i really am, even when i think I got it all in control.

Mathew 9:36

When he (Jesus) saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
