Sheep vs Man
The sheep know their Shepherd’s voice
They follow him obediently,
They know when they call for help
Their master’s ear is attuned to their distress,
And he will come running;
The sheep are certain their Shepherd will bring
Healing balm, bandages and will carry them
All the way homel
His staff will be used to protect his sheep from ravenous wolves!
The sheep are certain of their Master’s love!
The Shepherd certainly knows he will
Lay his life down for his sheep!
Man rebels against his SHEPHERD
Egotistical and disobedient, he asserts himself;
Preoccupied with SELF and his own needs and desires
Man does not naturally consider another;
He has to be taught to care for others!
Man, unlike the sheep is arrogant,
He forgets that every talent he has is GOD’s gift
That he owes his life and well-being to Almighty GOD!
And every thing that sustains life is GOD given
He forgets that he is mere dust!
Humble, obedient, gentle, the sheep
Seem to be more like their humble, gentle, compassionate Shepherd;
Man has still a lot to learn to be like their humble, gentle, compassionate SHEPHERD!
The sheep know HOME is where their SHEPHERD resides
Does Man know who is his SHEPHERD
And where HIS SHEPHERD resides?
Does he know where is his Eternal Home?
CHRIST said: ‘ Seek ME and you will find ME!’
Man has a lot to learn from sheep
He can learn to depend more on his Shepherd;
When he obeys and follows HIS guidance,
When he trusts his SHEPHERD ,
Then he will, like the sheep find himself
In loving, caring hands;
He will find deliverance and help;
He will find peace and joy
That surpasses understanding, because
Nothing is impossible with
CHRIST, our GREAT SHEPHERD
And in our powerlessness , FAITH
Draws on the strength and power
Of Almighty GOD for succour!
