Have you ever spent much time around farm animals, particularly sheep? Sheep are among the strangest of all animals. They absolutely need a shepherd for they don’t do well without someone watching over them, guiding them to water and food, protecting them from wolves or other predators, and especially protecting them from what I’d call a panicked ‘mob mentality’. They spook easily and then run frantically in any direction even running into barbed wire or running over cliffs to their death. Did you know that sheep appear in many places in the Bible and several times God draws parallels between sheep and people! Do you wonder why? I’ve not spent much time around sheep, but what little I have and what I’ve read about them, oh yes, we people sure can be like sheep!
