I Just Want to Be a Sheep

This past weekend Pastor Skip shared with us the deeper meaning found in Psalm 23.  Psalm 23 is perhaps one of the most widely known and widely loved Psalms of so many people.  It’s a Psalm that brings us comfort and hope, but it also demonstrates the absolute love God has for us. 

Here is Psalm 23 taken from the Contemporary English Version:

¹You, LORD, are my shepherd.

I will never be in need.

²You let me rest in fields

of green grass.

You lead me to streams

of peaceful water,

³and you refresh my life.

You are true to your name,

and you lead me

along the right paths.

⁴I may walk through valleys

as dark as death,

but I won't be afraid.

You are with me,

and your shepherd's rod makes me feel safe.

⁵You treat me to a feast,

while my enemies watch.

You honor me as your guest,

and you fill my cup

until it overflows.

⁶Your kindness and love

will always be with me

each day of my life,

and I will live forever

in your house, LORD.

When I was little, I remember singing a song here at Calvary called “I Just Want to be a Sheep.”  Well, I found a totally tacky, but totally adorable, rendition of that “oldy and goody” sung by Max the Puppet and the Baa Street Sheep.  I hope it puts a smile on your face as it reminds you how great it is to be a sheep as long as we have Jesus as our Good Shepherd! Baa! Baa!

Pax,
