We are the Sheep

Tonight at my church we have Bible Study which it will be on John chapter 10, and I am actually glad we have made it to that.  Most of that chapter talks about sheep, and the shepherd, and then Jesus bluntly tells them that he is the Shepherd.  God refers to us as being sheep, in which sheep are considered the dumbest of animals, if the lead sheep went over a Cliff then the rest would follow, and of course if you look at how people are if one person jumped off a Cliff then their would be others that would follow, if one person jumped off a bridge and made his friends think it was cool they would do it.  I think it bothers my 11 yr old son that God considers us as being like sheep, and its all because sheep are dumb.  Looking at what Jesus had said and talked about in John Chapter 10, its actually nice to read, we are the sheep, he knows us by name, and if he speaks to us we will know his voice because we are his.  It also speaks of the Satan as well, for he comes to steal, kill, and to destroy us, and that is so true, as being a child of God you know that you have a battle every single day, and if the Satan can step in he will steal your joy, your blessings, and all the wonderful things away that God has blessed us with, and if he can cause you to spiritually fall and destroy you he will do that, if you give him an inch he will surely take that but he will take a mile if he can, he comes in like a roaring lion, but if you ever watched a cat then you can understand that more, a feline will watch and stalk their pray, and when the animal is not expecting it that is when they get attacked, its the same for us, at our weakest points that is when the devil decides to step in.  Luckily God is there, the Good Shepherd is there he is watching over us, and watching out for us, he even leads us to pasture and of course he makes sure it is safe for us.  God will not place us in the way of danger, and he will make sure its safe before we go out, a sheep to a shepherd means a lot and if one of those sheep got lost then the shepherd would have to go out and find it, one missing sheep will cause a flock not to be full.  There is so many people out there that are lost and just roaming around, but they have not found the Good Shepherd yet, but luckily God is just a prayer away, and I am so glad that I am one of his sheep and that he is my Shepherd because in today's time, you really need someone that will have your back, and even when someone does you wrongly well God is there to  Psalms 105:15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm,   and of course vengeance belongs to God.  So see God is our Good Shepherd and he is there watching out for us and keeping us safe and sound. :)
