Sheep Of God!
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them,
and they follow Me. And I give them eternal
life, and they shall never perish; neither shall
anyone snatch them out of My hand."
John 10: 27-28
In June 2022, New York’s Governor’s Island invited
Sam, Flour, Evening, Chad, and Philip Aries back
for a second summer of ministry to munch on
unwanted invasive plants.
The five sheep were a hit in 2021, and gardener
Malcolm Gore welcomed back the flock with open
arms. “It felt like they recognized me, recognized
my voice, they came right over.”
Jesus has assigned us
to the island of this world,
and He’s our Governor and Shepherd. We recognize
Him, know His Voice, and draw near to Him. He
has
placed us here to impede sinfulness of this world
and to follow Him wherever He leads.
All of Psalm 23 is applied to Jesus
in John 10, for He leads us in paths
of righteousness for His Name’s sake.
What a blessed thought!
We are the sheep of God’s pasture.
Nothing separates us from His care.
"Every day may be a day of blessing,
every hour an hour of victory, but if lived
in the thought that Jehovah in his might
is your shepherd."
J. Wilber
