Truth


Where I found truth, there found I my God, who is the truth itself (Augustine).

Genuine spiritual knowledge lies not in wonderful and mysterious thoughts but in actual spiritual experience through union of the believer's life with truth. When a truth is unfolded by God it most naturally becomes a power in man, who then finds himself able to believe (Watchman Nee).

Saints not only desire to love and speak truth with their lips, but they seek to be true within; they will not lie even in the closet of their hearts, for God is there to listen; they scorn double meanings, evasions, equivocations, white lies, flatteries, and deceptions(Charles Spurgeon).

Why do Sheep Need a Sheperd?



Sheep are naturally very gentle creatures making them prey to many carnivorous animals. Sheep need a sheperd to keep them safe and watch over them. They are usually oblivious to any impending danger. As sheep eat grass they tend to wander without really paying attention to where they're going. The sheperd keeps the sheep in a safe area where they can eat and be safe from becoming food for wolves.
Another thing about sheep is that they have poor vision. They can’t see very far ahead. That’s why they need a sheperd.
God made you so that you would not be able to see into the future no matter how much you try. Why did God do this? He did it so you would depend on him.

"All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own" Isaiah 53:6

“He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.” Psalm 25:9

Majestic


Psalm 8

 Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory in the heavens.
 Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
 When I consider your heavens,the work of your fingers, 
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? 
You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
 You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet:
 all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, 
the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. 
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Peace
