A Sheepish Struggle


S ~ “Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.”  ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

O ~ I am not my own. I am His. I have been bought with a price. Even though I am a shepherd (pastor), I am not thee Shepherd. I am a sheep (baa, baa, baa, baa).

A ~ Today I desire to be king. Not king like Trump, but perhaps like Saul. Not David, but Saul. I have my own way I want to do things. I want to force my way. I want to strike back, and strike out, and release years of frustration. Not only do I need to remember our fight is not with people, but I am not my own. I am a sheep. God made me, and God made others. And who am I to try and push my way? Not good. Don’t be a billy goat gruff - be a sheep.

P ~ Lord, please help me. Please change my heart, and my thoughts, and my attitude, and my imaginary conversations. I am not my own - I am Yours, and I really do want to honor You. There is only Your way - no highway option.
