One of my devotions this morning was speaking of sheep, how they need a shepherd to lead them safely. The devotion was regarding straying, but it took my mind in a different direction and study.
Herd~A number of domestic animals assembled under the watch and or ownership of a keeper. “Owned”
Flock~A large number of animals, usually sheep or goats, kept together. “Kept”
Herd~Any collection of animals gathered or traveling in a community.
Flock~A large number of birds, especially those gathered together for migration.
Herd~A crowd. To unite or associate, to run together, more in the company of—a large mass of people.
Flock~Those served by a particular pastor or shepherd. A large number of people. A community of.
The Carnivors~Another well-known and feared group is “the pack.” In nature, a herd is classically subject to predation from the pack hunters!!! Satan resides within this pack!
The Shepherd~Tend as a shepherd. To guide or direct in a particular direction. Jesus Christ is our Shepherd!
I can’t help but put the correlation between the animal kingdom and humanity in today’s society. The herd is screaming at the flock for not following! The flock is worried about the herd for following. Our government resembles the pack! Massive confusion and fear define our world!!!
Dear Lord, Our perfect Shepherd lead us this day in the way you would have us go. We as a society have so many voices screaming in our heads that we don’t know which way to turn, which way to go, what to believe, or what to ignore. Please Lord, give us your discernment, lead us to your peaceful valleys and still waters. Thank you, Lord, for keeping the wolves at bay and our abodes strong from the forces of darkness. Lord, many are asking what we should do, what is the right thing to do, what would you have us do? You are our glorious shepherd, and in you we trust; thank you, Lord, for leading us your flock as we maneuver life. In your beautiful name I pray. Amen
Be blessed today and try and be a blessing…and as always, Thank you for joining me. 🥰
