The Good Shepherd
The Lord is my shepherd there is nothing I shall want.
With His rod and His staff
He leads me through my dark valleys into greener pastures.
For Jesus to be our Shepherd we have to be like sheep.
But sometimes we may be more like cats.
Have you tried herding cats?
Can’t be done!
They go their own way and don’t really listen except when they want something.
That is why they need 9 lives because they can get into so much trouble.
Are we like sheep or like cats?
Do we hear the voice of Jesus?
And do we follow Him?
Or do we hear other voices and follow them instead?
The voices of advertising telling us what we need?
The voices of others telling us we are not good enough or pretty enough or smart enough?
The voices of others telling us what to think, what to wear and what to do.
And do we really follow Jesus ?
Or do we follow the crowd;
Or do we follow our own passions and desires?
And then we wonder why we end up where we do sometimes!
Every morning when we wake up,
We should say;
The Lord is my Shepherd!
His Voice is the voice I listen to;
And I will follow Him wherever He leads me.
For even though I walk through the dark valley,
He is beside me!
With His rod and staff that give me courage.
And I shall follow Him all the days of my life.
