Sheep

Whats the first word that comes to your mind when you think of sheep? For most people its dumb. I should know whether they are or not since I raise them and actually they are amazingly smart...for sheep. They know who feeds them, where the food comes from, they know our voices and they know their names. Pretty smart eh? But still dumb. They forget about the food unless they have their faces buried in it.

In the Bible God calls us his sheep. I see sheep and I think how cute! Boy are they dumb. Think God thinks the same thing? Although He probably doesn't call us dumb because He is God but still. Get the picture?
 "We all like sheep have gone astray" Its true. Sheep don't take instructions very well. Herding sheep can be like herding cats. You get them where you want them, they stay for about 2 seconds, then they are off again. That's us. We disobey God, but He "herds" us back to where we need to be, but then we are off again. Coincidence you say that God made sheep that way? I think not!
