A Bit Sheepish

I'm close with someone who owns a flock of sheep.  People are called sheep in the scriptures, so I try to observe parallels between sheep and human beings.

One ewe (female sheep) repeatedly kept getting her head stuck in the gate.  She only needed to back up a few steps to free herself.  However,  she couldn't/wouldn't/didn/t do that.  She wasn't free until her shepherd came along and pulled her back from the gate.

Do you ever think you're stuck?  Maybe you're not, really.   Maybe you just need the Shepherd to help you get out.  It's okay to ask for help.

TV:
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.  (Isaiah 53:6)
