做主小羊
“耶和华是我的牧者， 我必不致缺乏。”
诗篇23:1
不是冒犯你，你就是一只羊，而且是只傻乎乎的小羊羔。当然，这是一个比喻，用来启发你，帮助你今天的灵修。你是一只迷茫的、脏兮兮的小羊。你头脑简单、自高自大、内心脆弱、哭哭啼啼。但是主，他依然愿意做你的牧者。在他眼里，你是宝贵的，他愿意看顾你。你不是微不足道的普通雇工，也不是流浪的牧民。主亲自牧羊你，因为他认为你值得他为你舍身。
你只要听听你的牧者为你做些什么。除他以外，你一无所需。祂宝抱你，洁净你，喂养你，保护你，释放你，引导你，带领你，修剪你，服侍你，推动你，提醒你，陪伴你，聆听你 ，与你交谈，伴你同行，安慰你，激励你，指导你，找寻你，招聚你，浇灌你，恢复你，平息你，祂使你安歇，祂高举你，提升你，欣赏你，膏抹你，看顾你，祂为你舍身，住在你的心里。你的一生都得到祂的保守。主耶和华是你的牧者，他如此良善。
今日祷告：
耶稣，你是我的牧者，让我就活在这个真理之中。阿们。

Sheep
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
PSALM 23:1
No offense, but you are a sheep. Just a dumb little lamb. Have you ever had a motivational devotional entry tell you that before? You are a wandering, stinky mess of an animal. A simple-minded, ego-headed, fragile-hearted, bleating lamb. The Lord, though, the Lord…he is your Shepherd. You are so significant that the Lord has chosen to shepherd your flock. Not some two-bit sheep, not some random hired hand, not a nomadic wanderer. The Lord alone shepherds you because he thinks you are worth his very life.
Just listen to what your Shepherd does for you. You don’t need anyone or anything other than him. The Lord carries you, cleans you up, feeds you full, protects you, frees you, guides you, leads you, shears you, serves you, nudges you, pokes you, comes beside you, hears you, speaks with you, walks with you, calms you, excites you, instructs you, finds you, gathers you, waters
you, mends you, quenches you, rests you, exalts you, lifts you, enjoys you, anoints you, tends to you, offers his life for you, and dwells with you—and he does this for all of your life. The Lord is your Shepherd. And he is so, so good.
Pray for the Day:
Jesus, help me to live in the truth of this verse today. Amen.
