Sheep…

Are we becoming a society of sheep? The herd mentality, describes how people can be influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors on a largely emotional, rather than rational, basis. Wikipedia

It starts in pre-school, we are lined up to go to the bathroom, recess, lunch and at the end of the day to go home. We become adolescents and want to be part of the crowd, often doing things we know we shouldn’t just to fit in. We have to fit in at work, church, clubs, events, etc…

The Bible refers to sheep as God’s people. Sheep were sacrificial animals; Jesus is called the Lamb of God. He was the greatest sacrifice. They symbolize gentleness, innocence, purity, sweetness, forgiveness and meekness. Notice it doesn’t include weakness!!!

As sheep, in Christ, we are to be like-minded. We have One Bible, One Lord, One Way!!! We have instructions on living, worshipping, loving and praying. We are Christs examples and in our walk with Jesus, we are to follow him as He is our Mighty Shepherd.

As people, we need to be individuals. God made us to be who we are, we all have a place down here with a job to do! We need to stand out from the crowd, be a little different, do what we know to be right. Pray about what we aren’t sure about and to be a testimony.

In the days to come there will be many events, happenings and choices to be made. Know where you stand and what you stand for, so you don’t end up falling for everything. If it isn’t right for you, doesn’t feel quite right or you just aren’t sure. Pray about it, find out what God has to say about your situation and move forward accordingly.

Today and in the days to come, there will be many opinions, ideas, and agendas. Be Smart, Be Informed, Be Ready…
