G-d's calendar: 22nd day, 1st month, year 5771

Psalm 23:1
A Psalm of David. YHWH is my shepherd; I shall not want.

John 10:14,15
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

There are many verses in the Scriptures in which, we people, are called sheep. Stop and think for a moment of the characteristics and attributes of sheep. They start out very playful and innocent and even at maturity have a very real dependence. Sheep are not self-sufficient creatures, at all. There is always a vulnerability about them. G-d knows us, we need to be led. since humans are born followers, we will follow someone or something, so it is imperative that we seek and know to follow the Good Shepherd.
