Me: \u00a0Wait up Prodigal! \u00a0I am glad that I caught up with you!<\/p>\n

Prodigal: \u00a0Sorry, but I am jumpin’ ’round like cold water on a hot skillet.<\/p>\n

Me: \u00a0Well, take one break while I share!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book Psalm 91 by Peggy Joyce Ruth and Angelia Ruth Schum<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I think of how utterly impossible it is to protect ourselves from all the evils in the world, I am reminded of sheep. \u00a0Sheep have no real protection other than their shepherd. \u00a0In fact, a sheep is the only animal I can think of that has no built-in protection. \u00a0It has no sharp teeth, no offensive odor to spray to drive off its enemies, no loud bark, and it certainly can’t run fast enough to escape danger. \u00a0That’s why the Bible calls us God’s sheep! \u00a0God is saying, “I want you to see Me as your source of protection. \u00a0I am your shepherd.” \u00a0Now He may use doctors, policeman, fireman, storm cellars, bank accounts, and so forth to meet our specific needs, but our hearts have to run to Him first as our shepherd and our protector. \u00a0Then He will choose the method He desired to bring about the protection.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

God will protect! \u00a0You are one of His sheep and what good shepherd does not protect His sheep?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Psalm 30:2<\/p>\n

O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me.<\/p>\n
